In BLADE RUNNER 2049, Niander Wallace (Jared Leto) was the visually impaired scientist, replicant manufacturer, technologist, and CEO of Wallace Corporation, a replicant manufacturing company. The company's replicants were indistinguishable from their human counterparts and were meant to take on unsavory or unsafe jobs that humans could not or did not want to take on. Replicant "blank" Nexus 08 bodies were kept in corporate storage until they were ready to release.
This lot features a one-of-a-kind, life-size male Nexus replicant blank Nexus 08 body from Nexus Reliquary. The figure is anatomically correct to the male form but is configured without any body hair. It is constructed from dense, rigid material and is a heavy piece. It features steel cables and hardware at the shoulders and crown for hoisting it into its vertical position within a clear display case (not included). The body was suspended from cables for filming but VFX removed the cables and made the body appear to float, with some motion, within the display case.
According to production wrap documents, only one male nexus replicant of this specific body type from nexus reliquary prop was created for the film. There are other male "character" bodies as well.
It remains overall in very good condition.
Special shipping required; see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide.
