A Garthok creature maquette from the production of Steve Barron's sci-fi comedy Coneheads. After being accused of treason on his home planet of Remulak, Beldar Conehead (Dan Aykroyd) was sentenced to fight the ferocious Garthok. This lot comes from the collection of the film's stop-motion animator, Phil Tippett.

Rendered in sculpting compound and mixed media over a wire skeleton, the maquette depicts the Garthok with its mouth open and one clawed hand raised. It is painted in shades of brown with a metallic coppertone collar, dark gray claws, a pink mouth, and cream-color tusks and teeth. It comes attached to a black wooden display base with a clear acrylic cover and silvertone vertical light with a white power cord. The lot is in excellent overall condition with minimal wear from age, including a bit of subtle cracking in the hardened painted exterior. Includes a letter of authenticity from Phil Tippett.
