Little Daisy & The Maestro, also known as Little Daisy and the Maestro is an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2020 Halloween season, with stock still available until 2025. It resembles a grinning marionettist known as the Maestro, dressed in a black dress shirt and a red velvet bow tie beneath a black cloak. He holds two wooden control-bar cross sections with strings attached to the arms of a marionette named Little Daisy, a young girl in a blue blouse. Upon activation, the Maestro’s arms move up and down, causing the strings to pull Little Daisy’s arms in sync. The Maestro’s eyes glow yellow, and each control bar emits a white-blue light. He speaks one of three eerie phrases in a deep voice as his mouth moves. In the second phrase, Daisy’s crying can be heard.
Spirit Halloween's Description[]
"They toured the world and the Maestro got rich, but it was not enough. The crowds got bigger and bigger, but all they wanted was to see Little Daisy. One night after a third encore, The Maestro snapped. In a fit of jealousy, he made a deal with a demon to be more famous than Little Daisy, but in a cruel twist, the demon turned him into a mad puppeteer. Now he is driven mad nightly by the endless applause for his Little Daisy.
Little Daisy and the Maestro features red glowing eyes for a terrifying scare. The Maestro’s arms move up and down while his mouth moves with his terrifying phrases."
