Six Wyborne "Wybie" Lovat (Robert Bailey, Jr.) puppet prototype heads from the production of Henry Selick's Coraline. After her family moved into the Pink Palace Apartments, Coraline Jones (Dakota Fanning) met her landlady's grandson Wybie, then later encountered his button-eyed doppelganger in Other World.
This set consists of six resin heads - three gray, two brown, and one alabaster-color - 3D-printed by LAIKA as prototypes for the Wybie and Other Wybie puppets. The heads feature different hairstyles and facial expressions, with one mounted via a rod through the bottom to a wood display block. One head is hand-numbered "1" on the reverse and three others feature slots on their backs for affixing to a larger puppet. The set exhibits adhesive residue, some unpainted sections, grime, and cracking and fractures to the resin from production and age. Dimensions: (largest) 4.5" x 3.75" x 4" (11.5 cm x 9.5 cm x 10.25 cm)
Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
