My, those are your hands? Those are your hands! What happened to you? Where are your parents? Um... Your mother? Your father?
A hero-style pair of Edward's metal Scissorhands from Tim Burton's beloved 1990 fantasy classic Edward Scissorhands, starring Johnny Depp and featuring Vincent Price in one of his final screen roles. In the film, an aging inventor (Price) builds an animated human being, the gentle Edward (Depp), but dies before completing his creation, leaving the young man with scissor blades in place of hands. Despite his kindness and artistic gifts, Edward's hands make him an outcast, and they remain among the most iconic and instantly recognizable designs in modern cinema. The Scissorhands were created at the legendary Stan Winston Studios under the personal supervision of Stan Winston, the four-time Academy Award-winning effects master who first proposed giving Burton's character scissor hands. The blades are made of metal and fitted with springs, gadgets, and other miniature mechanical pieces that give the design its signature intricate look.
The pair is mounted on a custom base from Stan Winston Studios, signed by Stan Winston himself, and believed to be the very set that sat upon his desk for many years — provenance connecting the piece directly to the artist who created it, the man who kept his own creation in front of him for the rest of his career. A studio-made metal set from Stan Winston's personal collection stands as a true centerpiece of movie prop history.
