Buster Keaton marionette?!


Question: In "Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium", that curious and delightful fantasy, there is a brief shot of a marionette of famous comedy star Buster Keaton, who has gotten wrapped up in his own strings. Does anyone out there know where one could buy an actual Keaton marionette (assuming this was an actual toy, and not manufactured just for the film)?
I know this is a long shot, but being a long-time Keaton fan, I had to ask.

I don't think it will be easy to find. This article http://www4.vindy.com/content/national_w... said that Frisch Marionette Co. made that marionette especially for the movie. They do have a website, but he isn't one of the advertised puppets; not to mention the puppets they do advertise are about $600- $2000 a piece. You may get lucky if you really look hard, or are willing to shell out a lot for it, but it doesn't look promising.
