A Garthok stop-motion puppet display 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) is sentenced to fight the ferocious Garthok. This lot comes from the collection of the film's stop-motion animator, Phil Tippett.

The puppet is made of foam latex over a custom-made metal armature with resin used for claws, tusks, and other small details. It is painted in shades of brown and black with a dark pink mouth and cream-colored tusks, teeth, and claws. It has thick black hair running down its spine and a leatherette tail-wrap, harness, and collar. It comes attached to a black wooden display base with a clear acrylic cover. The lot is in fair overall condition with some wear from production and age, including deterioration to the foam latex, especially on the arms and legs. Includes a letter of authenticity from Phil Tippett.
