Starvin' Marvin The Skeleton Marionette

I bought this Skeleton Marionette for my 5 year old son who loves anything spooky or puppet-based, and our experience with it so far has been awesome. The Cable length is perfectly sized to prevent tangling, and the range of motion in the arms makes the occasional detangle very easy. The plastic is also durable and well painted. My son loves it, I can trust it, and it's quite the bargain!

Amazing skeleton marionette. Love it! It's for my son for Halloween and he's going to love it too! Highly recommend. Update: 10-30-25 Not only is this an amazing marionette for Halloween but this 5 star seller made sure, even though I ordered late 10-26, that it got to me for Halloween. In fact, they shipped it FEDEX and I received it FOUR DAYS before Halloween. Awesome, you made my year. My son loves it!!!!

Awesome looking, his name is Martin

I was excited to see the addition of Starvin Marvin to the Crazy Bonz line up this year and quickly preordered two of them. We are devote purchasers if the Crazy Bonz line-their products are excellent quality and hold up very well. After a brief delay in shipment, we got them today. Opening the package was easy, zip ties hold him in place on a cardboard board. He stands about 15 inches tall from top of head to feet. He is cute and my teen immediately started playing with them. Why the rating? One had loose eyes that fell off within 5 minutes. It wouldn’t be much to stick back on as they are just adhesive googley eyes, which seems to detractfrom the overall quality. I was also a little disappointed by how stiff his joints are and how hard it is to move. This is not a typical marionette where a slight flick would result in major movement. I’m thinking his hands are white as a nod to marionettes that usually wore gloves, but it would have been nicer to have the hands a regular bone color. Also, he only has his front 10 teeth, which gives him a little bit of a horse-face. Finally, one thing I didn’t notice when I ordered him, but quickly noticed when I opened him is that his legs are not attached to strings. So, movement really only happens with his hands. Overall, he is cute and will join our collection of skeletons, but I probably wouldn’t have bought him at the price of $13 if I had been aware of these drawbacks.

Cute, works well but did not come with strings attaching the feet to the control pedal.

Funny

Head doesn't move. No strings on feet. Smaller than expected. It could have been really cute if it had been made to work.

Was just for Halloween but I enjoyed him to much so he is year round on my antenna and people love him always stare and smile. His arms wave while driving. He lasts 90 mph constant winds while driving. And he is still in 1 peace almost 5 months later. He was built to last and when or if he breaks I'll buy another one!

Great skeleton, quality construction. Wish it was actually a marionette but it will do for my purpose as a static prop.

Poor Marvin didn't have a chance - he's not even skin and bones just bones ... poor guy. The puppet however is fair.

He is adorable, but is too stiff with too short of strings to be a real marionette.
