Lester J. Marshall Jr. Figure

This was made for Lester Marshall Jr. in 1957 as signed inside the head by Frank Marshall. He is still in the original Tuxedo that Lester Marshall Jr dressed him in as you can see in the original poster which is pictured.

He is almost completely original except that the wig was replaced and a few of the control levers were replaced with metal instead of the wood chop stick style. He has the following functions: Slot Jaw, side to side self centering eyes, winker/blinkers, crying effect and most unusual is lowering eyebrows ( gives a mean look ) which is a most unusual function in a Marshall figure.

The paint is all original except for a little touch up of the eye shadow blue. A wonderful example of Frank Marshall's work.
