A Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) display bust replica from the production of Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin. In the film, Victor Fries - a doctor forced to wear a diamond-powered cryosuit after an accident - terrorized Gotham City in hopes of curing his wife of a deadly disease. Mr. Freeze's elaborate icy makeup was designed by head makeup artist Ve Neill and dressed on busts featuring Schwarzenegger's distinctive likeness during makeup tests for the film.
This detailed hollow fiberglass bust originates from Planet Hollywood. It was custom-made for display by Crist Ballas, who created Freeze's prosthetics. Ornately detailed to match Neill's Mr. Freeze makeup with speckled white, silver-color, and blue paint, it features glimmering plastic eyes mounted to its interior, "22" hand-marked on its underside, and "Metamorphosis Crist ® 1997" etched into its back. A bust of this style was previously displayed at Planet Hollywood Niagara Falls until October 2016. The bust exhibits a fracture above its right eyebrow and a scratch down the back of its head. Dimensions: 21" x 10" x 14" (53.5 cm x 25.5 cm x 35.75 cm)
Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
