Pillsbury Doughboy Screen Used Head and Made for Production Metal Skeleton, Hat is a Replica
 |
This is a screen used Pillsbury Doughboy
head from the 1991-1992 advertising season. It is mounted
on a backup unused metal stop motion skeleton. The hat is
a replica and made just to complete the display. Several
different style heads with various facial expressions
have been used with this type of Doughboy Metal skeleton
armature. The head has a hole in it and is mounted to the
skeleton via a metal post. If this metal skeleton was to
be used it would have been placed in a mold and the
rubber foam body would attach to the skeleton. It then
would be painted and poseable via the skeleton
underneath. This skeleton was not used and is a backup
copy as many would be broken during filming of the
commercials and extras would be needed. The Pillsbury Doughboy is an advertising icon. One of the most recognizeable in the world. On varous Pillsbury products this mascot is still used to promote the company and its products. The Doughboy is now animated via computer graphics for all commercials so relics such as this stop motion Doughboy are a thing of history now. |
