Our expert's notes

An Orson Vulture (Joy Campbell) walkabout costume featuring a large bird head, body, and grey leggings. The head has a yellow velvet beak with a pink felt mouth and red tongue. The acrylic eyes have black plastic pupils and a mesh backing to allow for actor’s visibility. A tuft of sage green feathers at crown and the rest of the head is covered with red feathers. The body is covered with sage green and grey feathers. There is a bright red collar of feathers around the neck and a large pink velvet necktie. The feathers are meticulously hand-applied over an interior foundation of cotton twill and boning. There is an interior cage inside to distribute weight across human shoulders and then built out to shape the character’s body. An interior production tag reads ’Pearl Buttons Orson’. The leggings are solid dove grey knit spandex (not used in production and for display purposes only).

The costume remains in very good, production-used, vintage condition overall, which is remarkably rare for a working walkabout costume.

Orson is one of several henchmen to the Pufnstuf franchise’s main antagonist, Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo (Billie Hayes).

Provenance: Mr. Marty Krofft
