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.
