An animatronic ‘half’ bird puppet from Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Stephen King’s horror story The Mist. In the film, a band of strangers barricade themselves in a grocery store when a freak storm unleashes otherworldly creatures into their quiet town. Other-dimensional birds break through the store windows when they attempt to feed on oversized insects and the people inside the market.
The cable-controlled puppet is fully realized from the waist up, and consists of a soft foam-latex skin over a fiberglass form, with a wooden base and mount. The puppet is rigged with cable controls which operate the jaw, and electronic servos to control the eyes. The mouth features rows of pointed acrylic teeth, with the lower jaw split in half with a stretchy material bridging the gap. The mutant bird puppet shows minor wear to the foam, which has cracked in a few areas. However, the foam remains in very good overall condition. Dimensions (puppet): 94 cm x 51 cm x 42 cm (37” x 20” x 16 ½”); (on base): 103 cm x 86 cm x 97 cm (40 ½” x 34” x 38 ¼”)
Item size - 37" x 20" x 16.45" (93.98cm x 50.8cm x 41.78cm)
