The hand-painted pull-string doll is a charming tribute to Matterz Squidling, the Impenetrable Music Man, created with care by Dr. Rev. Mackenzie Moltov, the queen of merch. This wooden doll beautifully captures Matterz’s signature style and his essential role as the musical heartbeat of the Squidling Brothers Circus Sideshow.
The doll is dressed in Matterz’s iconic red-and-black checkered outfit, a faithful representation of his performance attire. His clown makeup, complete with bold X’s painted over his eyes, is depicted in vivid detail, giving the doll a mischievous and captivating expression.
Crafted in an Americana folk-art style, the painting emphasizes rustic charm and handcrafted authenticity. The brushstrokes highlight intricate details, from the patterns on his outfit to the textured look of his clown makeup, evoking the timelessness of traditional craft.
The pull-string mechanism is located at the top of the wooden doll. When pulled, it activates a delightful movement, causing the doll’s arms and legs to swing in a playful, clown-like fashion. The motions mimic Matterz’s energetic and theatrical presence, making the doll as dynamic and entertaining as the man himself.
Matterz is shown holding a miniature version of his signature carnival organ, lovingly painted with simple yet evocative details symbolizing his talent for setting the sonic atmosphere for every sideshow performance.
This pull-string doll is not just a keepsake but a joyful celebration of Matterz Squidling’s artistry and spirit, brought to life by Mackenzie Moltov’s unmatched creativity. It’s the perfect souvenir for circus enthusiasts and collectors alike.
