That was my thought. I like what Shade has now (except that the profession check says "DC DC").
Description: This appears to be an intricate ventriloquist's dummy, about two feet tall, made of wood, brass, and steel, dressed in a cloth costume. Its hand holds a short wand, and it wears a very notable oversized, floppy hat.
Looks good to me, as well.
Nitpicky editor's note:
Wandstrike (Ex): A conjurer puppet can strike with its wand as a swift action. The wandstrike deals 2d6 points of electricity (no save) with a successful range touch attack. Its maximum range is 30 feet with no range increment.
Should be "ranged touch".

#AT 2
Dmg 2-11/2-11
SA stunning
SD immune to mind-affecting spells, electrical attacks, poisons, paralysis, and gas attacks
AL: N
The guards here are similar in appearance to <conjurer puppets>, but they do not carry hats or wands. Instead, they have large bronze-covered fists.
Blows from the puppets which hit on a natural 19 or 20 stun the victim (-4 on "to hit" rolls, -2 to damage, +4 AC penalty, movement rate halved, spellcasting impossible) for 2-7 rounds.

Ok, this shouldn't be too bad. Str should be 12-13 and the damage from the fist slams should be 1d10, I guess. Make a special stun ability such that the fists have threat range 19-20. Successful criticals force the victim to make a Con based Fort save or be stunned for 1d6+1 rounds?

That sounds good, except Stun attacks are usually Strength-based.
Its AC is 3 better than the conjurer puppet. I don't think it should have better Dex (in fact, I'd suggest lower Dex), so give it better natural armor?
Stunning Fists (Ex): A stun puppet's slam attacks threaten a critical hit on a 19-20. Additionally, anyone struck by a stun puppet's slam attack must succeed on a DC X Fortitude save or be stunned for 1d6+1 rounds. The save DC is Strength-based.
