Pinocchio

Pinocchio, Starry-Eyed Scout is a rare character card featured in the second set of the Disney Lorcana trading card game, titled Rise of the Floodborn, released in late 2023. As a floodborn character, the card represents an imaginative reimagining of the classic 1940 Disney animated icon, depicting the character in an original context distinct from his traditional cinematic appearance. This creative departure is a hallmark of the set, which focuses on characters who have been transformed or empowered by the mysterious flood of ink within the game's lore.

The artwork for this specific card was crafted by illustrator Joni Godoy, who focused on capturing the character's sense of wonder and adventurous spirit. By placing Pinocchio in a scouting role, the design team aimed to emphasize his journey toward becoming a real boy through the lens of fantasy archetypes. The card was well-received by the player base for its strategic utility and its contribution to the game’s growing narrative, which prioritizes inventive character interpretations and detailed, thematic aesthetics.
