Our expert's notes

A Ball & Socket Lounge patron stop-motion puppet from Tim Burton’s stop-motion film Corpse Bride. Victor Van Dort visited the Ball & Socket Lounge after being taken to the Land of the Dead. Various puppets, including this one, were made to populate the bar.

Based on Burton’s unique, recognisable drawing style, the Corpse Bride puppets were created by the special effects production company Mackinnon and Saunders, one of the world’s leading puppet-making companies, who previously collaborated with Burton on Mars Attacks!

Constructed around a poseable steel-and-aluminium armature, the puppet is made of intricately painted resin and silicone components. It is outfitted in velvet shoes, grey trousers and a grey coat, with bits of a faux undershirt sewn in.

The puppet is presented on an acrylic base that attaches to its feet through the same screw holes used to stabilise the piece during production. It shows evidence of age and production use, including scuffs to the shoes and jaw, and is in very fine overall condition. Dimensions: 18 cm x 18 cm x 44.5 cm (7” x 7” x 17 ½”)

£5,000 - 7,000
