Pinocchio is a fairy tale as old as time, but never before has it been told like this, through the wonderfully macabre and otherworldly obsessed imagination of the maestro himself, Guillermo del Toro. Brought to life by the artisanal magic of stop-motion ingenues, Shadow Machine, we witness the transformation of our dear wooden adolescent as he pines for life as a real boy. The craftsmanship displayed onscreen is remarkable, with every nuance and detail thoughtfully considered, making this twist on the timeless story all the more transcendent.

A delicately crafted collaboration between iam8bit and Netflix, this limited edition Pinocchio Marionette was modeled after the stop-motion puppet used in the film, hand-whittled from wood by the incredible artisans at Rici Marionettes. Each piece is absolutely unique, ensuring this is a collector’s piece for the ages. Whether you suspend it from your wall for all to admire or choose to put on a puppet show for your friends and family to enjoy, we promise that you’ll cherish this marionette beyond anything else in your collection. As an extra accompaniment, a 1.6” Pewter Cricket is included, nestled in his own bespoke box.

About the Artists

Based in Prague, Rici Marionettes is one of the world’s most respected and legendary marionette makers. Founded by Richard Kuklík and inspired by his love of different crafts, especially wood carving, the team of talented artisans at Rici apply ancient tradition to their work. Each marionette is painstakingly handmade, down to the most nuanced detail, ensuring that each piece is unique to the humans who whittled, painted and assembled it. It’s a laborious, time-honored process - and also, a highly technical one, involving the collaboration of dozens of painters, carvers, puppet fabricators and seamstresses to complete each high quality marionette. The result is not only a functional puppet with tremendous personality, but also, a beautiful and collectable work of art. The Pinocchio Marionette contained in this box was made with love by human hands, for you to enjoy and display.
