Vallaki’s toymaker, proprietor of Blinsky’s Toys. A warm, energetic man who bounces on his heels with every word, with a fondness for eerie toys and a thick accent. “Ah, wyelcome, wyelcome, friends! Come, come, see the leetle wonders of Blinsky!” At his side perches Piccolo, a white-faced capuchin monkey in a tutu. His slogan: “Is no fun, is no Blinsky!”
Virro bought a hand puppet of Strahd from him. On a high shelf, Ireena found a doll made in her exact likeness. Blinsky, delighted at the resemblance, admitted the dolls were Izek Strazni’s doing: each month Izek demands a new one in lieu of taxes. Blinsky makes them and hands them over, and has no idea what they are for.
