# Eerie Vintage Marionette Toys A Vintage Version of 'SKULLTOONS THE PINO' Recreates Pinocchio By Riley von Niessen | Published 2020-09-17 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skulltoons-the-pino References: [toysrevil.blogspot](https://toysrevil.blogspot.com/2020/09/kkplus-exclusive-skulltoons-pino.html?utm_source) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/CFO4rrelBH_/) After releasing a number of colorful adaptations of 'SKULLTOONS THE PINO,' and even offering a unique black and white monochrome variation, Streams is back with a new edition that honors Pinocchio's roots: the Vintage Version. The new edition shows Pinocchio as a wooden marionette, with faded tones of brown, beige, and white covering his clothing and accessories. The toy holds a red apple in its hand, like former editions of SKULLTOONS THE PINO. As Streams states, the toy stands at approximately 35 cm tall, and is made with [vinyl, PVC, and ABS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windupz). With only 150 pieces produced worldwide, the [exclusive collectible](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullpanda-x-sanrio) is sure to sell out quickly. To certify authenticity, buyers will receive [numbered certificates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1) with their purchases.
