2009 bug[]
In 2009, the Marionette had a duration bug. They could be removed from a player's inventory early if the player used a portal or entered an instance. Furthermore, many of them did not vanish as planned at the end of the holiday. This was "fixed" a week after the holiday when an update deleted any still remaining in player inventory.
