Inspect the nose print for scratches. The dual-molded legs can show stress marks at the hip if posed frequently. Yellow hat paint should be checked for rubbing.

Character Background
The main protagonist of the 1940 Disney film 'Pinocchio', a wooden puppet brought to life by the Blue Fairy. Cleo was Geppetto's pet goldfish.
Design Notes
Notable for being the first Pinocchio figure, LEGO chose to print the nose rather than create a long-nose mold which would have limited head posing.
Similar Minifigures
Jiminy Cricket (dis102) from the same series, and Geppetto (dis100) are his closest counterparts.
Collectibility
High collectibility due to the 100th anniversary licensing and the icon status of the character.
History
Follows the trend of LEGO transitioning Disney properties from sets to highly detailed CMF waves starting in 2016.
Interesting Facts
Pinocchio is the only figure in Series 100 to feature an printed accessory that technically uses a 'minifigure head' mold (Cleo's bowl).
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Jiminy Cricket inside a custom wood-shop MOC or a Disney 100 display frame.
Modification Potential
The hair/hat piece is frequently used for custom 'young boy' figures; Cleo is compatible with any underwater scene.
Overall Assessment
An 8/10 figure. It captures the character's charm perfectly through dual-molding and vibrant colors, though some fans missed a physical nose mold.
