A Wheems robot puppet model from Matthew Robbins' sci-fi comedy batteries not included. Wheems, also known as "Little Guy", and his family of extraterrestrial, sentient spaceships returned to Earth to help the tenants of a destitute apartment complex.

This puppet, created for the film by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), is constructed of resin hand-painted with the signature patchwork of metallic gold, blue and copper. Several veteran ILM artists contributed to the design of the robots, including Ralph McQuarrie and Paul Huston. The piece is a mounted on a rod for puppeteering and exhibits minor signs of use and handling but remains in good overall condition.
