Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Self-Contained Daffy Animatronic Mogwai

original movie prop

This is a Daffy mogwai animatronic puppet from the 1990 creature feature Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

This Daffy self-contained animatronic puppet is something special. He is very heavy and filled to the brim with late 80\\\'s RC robotics tech. He was designed to be picked up by an actor and carried, all while still performing and in Daffy\\\'s case- flailing around aimlessly. For these animatronic props, a puppeteer would be just off set and controlling them with a remote while Billy or Kate would be holding on for dear life. This puppet was only one of two created, the other being Gizmo. You can see this puppet being used primarily with Billy carrying Daffy across the room in their New York apartment right as the Futterman\\\'s ring their doorbell. From these screen captures, it\\\'s easy to get the sense that Zach Galligan is locked onto that torso so he doesn\\\'t accidentally drop him while the arms and legs wave around wildly!
