GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH (1990) - Melting Gremlin Cable-Controlled Puppet
A melting Gremlin puppet from Joe Dante's comedy sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Created by Rick Baker's Cinovation Studio, this puppet was used in the finale when the Gremlins began to melt having been electrocuted after being doused with water. Made of foam latex over a metal and resin armature, the Gremlin has been constructed with skin that looks as though it is melting away, and includes acrylic eyes and claws. A newborn Gremlin can be seen protruding from a bullet ball on the back, while the other bullet balls appear melted. Protruding from the Gremlin’s underside are numerous cable controls and tubes which allowed the puppet to ooze as it melted. The Gremlin is mounted on its original production wood stand. The Gremlin has undergone sympathetic restoration to preserve its materials, and shows minor wear due to production use and age, with parts of the foam hardening and cracking; however it remains in otherwise good condition. Dimensions: 30 cm x 41 cm x 79 cm (12" x 16" x 31") As this item contains mechanical components, every effort has been made to describe them accurately.
