Toy Culture: Pinocchio Limited-Edition Marionette by Master Replicas


Pinocchio certainly has a nose for an historical treasure. Now you can own a limited edition replica of the original marionette used in the creation of the 1940 Walt Disney animated classic. After filming, the sculpted model of the marionette's head was presented to master puppeteer Bob Baker, whose work Walt Disney knew and admired. That same model has inspired Baker's meticulous recreation, made by Master Replicas®, of the wooden boy first encountered in Carlo Collodi's original story
