Pinocchio Marionette

Walt Disney's (WD) Pinocchio Marionette from Master Replicas' WD Showcase Collection.
According to the Master Replica's (MR) Certificate of Authenticity: "After filming, the model of the marionette head was given to Bob Baker (BB), a well-known master puppeteer in LA whose work WD had seen and admired...WD even invited him to consider a puppet theater at Disneyland...MR approached him [BB] with a copy of a 1940's magazine article showing Walt with the Pinocchio marionette and giving instructions for making one(http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2007/04/19/pinocchio-the-puppet/). Asked if he could model a similar head, Bob replied "I don't have to. I have the original".

The Pinocchio Bob Baker used in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LszEcFaC_HU&feature=fvwk seems to have the same body as MR but the head is not a replica of the original.

A good purchase.
Good Job Mr. Baker and Master Replicas!
