Our expert's notes

A ‘Poppin’ Fresh’ Pillsbury Doughboy stop-motion puppet with attached rigid peg-registered head from Pillsbury Company commercials. The beige puppet’s hard resin head is hand-painted with a coated canvas pastry chef’s hat and foam latex neck neckerchief. The head is peg-registered to a foam latex body in order to maintain its position during the stop-motion animation process. Written on the back of the puppet body is ‘Moments #1’ in ink. Also included is a custom stand used during the fabrication process, and a prop cupcake with colorful sprinkles made for a Funfetti product commercial of the same era. The piece is in very good, production-used condition overall.

This puppet first appears in a 1982 commercial titled ‘Moments’. The engaging character’s distinctive squeal is so recognizable it is trademarked with the U.S. Patent Office.

Dimensions: 4 ½” x 4 ¼” x 10” (11 ½ cm x 11 ½ cm x 25 ½ cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000
