Rene Old Man Ventriloquist Figure

I was very excited to acquire another very rare and early Rene figure and wanted to share him with you.

Rene’s figures today are made of neoprene with a molded head stick but back in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s he used wood for the head stick and also used plastic wood.

This figure is one of those early styles. It was on eBay and I was an under bidder and it went to Las Vegas, then it was resold and went to Florida and then it was resold again to me and is now a part of the Ventriloquist Central Collection.

This figure stands 40″ tall has slot jaw and side to side self centering eyes. and is still dressed in the original clothing. I really like him because he has that marionette look even though he is a ventriloquist figure. Simply a great character.
