Our expert's notes

An animatronic gorilla mask from Patrick Read Johnson’s adventure comedy Baby's Day Out. This item comes from the scene in which Baby Bink encounters a gorilla at the zoo. This mask was originally a Digit gorilla mask made for Gorillas in the Mist. Digit was a mountain gorilla, but Baby's Day Out called for a lowland gorilla, so additional appliances were added to the face to alter the look. Built around a head cap, this mask shows incredible detail with a foam latex skin, hand-punched hair, and resin teeth within the gorilla’s mouth. The fiberglass underskull of the piece is still marked for the Digit character. The mask has been outfitted with electronic components that were once capable of animating the movements of the gorilla’s mouth and eyes. This piece shows some wear to the foam due to production use and age; however it remains in overall good condition. Dimensions: 12” x 19” x 12” (30 cm x 48 cm x 30 cm) $2,000-3,000 *Estimated sale price; sold without reserve
