Wooden marionette puppet Goki ostrich model GOKI-SO 104, articulated string-controlled toy

The Goki wooden marionette puppet in the shape of an ostrich is a string-controlled, articulated toy designed for imaginative play and stage use. Crafted from painted wood with multiple movable joints, this marionette allows coordinated limb and head movement via a control bar. Its construction balances maneuverability and durability for repeated handling, and the painted finish provides a clear, recognizable appearance suitable for playrooms, theatre props, or shelf display.

Advantages

The articulated design provides smooth, realistic motion for the legs, wings and neck, enabling expressive poses and simple choreography. The control bar gives precise manipulation of the puppet’s movements while the durable painted surface resists everyday wear. As a wooden marionette, it offers tactile feedback and straightforward mechanics that are easy to learn for both children and adults.

Suitable for

• Children’s imaginative play and storytelling
• School or amateur theater performances and puppetry practice
• Decorative display in playrooms or thematic interiors

Key specifications

• Material: painted wood with string controls
• Articulation: multiple movable joints for head, legs and wings
• Control: wooden control bar for string manipulation
• Finish: durable painted surface

How to use

Hold the control bar above the puppet and gently pull or tilt the bar to move the strings connected to the head and limbs.

Usage recommendations

Supervise young children during play to prevent entanglement with the strings. Store the marionette on a hook or in a box to protect the painted finish and prevent string tangling when not in use. Clean the wooden surfaces with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid soaking or abrasive cleaners.
