The robe's lining and collar are white. He wears metallic gold shoes on his feet and his legs are painted white. His hair is grey and he has an outrageously long beard. He wears a red and gold crown accented with blue on his head. Grey eyes, pink cheeks and lips are painted onto his face. A long wire with a wooden rod at its top is inserted into his head while four strings connect his legs and arms to its top.On View
