Our expert's notes

A George telemetry puppet rig from Joe Dante's horror comedy Gremlins 2: The New Batch. This George puppet was used for more intricate movements during production and was operated by multiple puppeteers. One puppeteer would control George's arms using two control arms, while another puppeteer would operate his neck using joystick controls. George's facial expressions were computer controlled.

This George puppet is constructed of a metal skeleton armature and a plastic shell with several cable controls running from its back to the attached control mechanisms. The face is wired with several servo motors used to control the eyes, mouth, tongue, and ears. The puppet is mounted to a rolling black wooden rig labeled "George," which features a latched removable box to protect the puppet. The right side of the puppet's painted, foam latex skin has been removed following the production to show the intricate interior mechanics. The entire rig shows some wear from use during production and age. The puppet remains in otherwise fair condition. Dimensions: 122" x 28" x 73" (310 cm x 71 cm x 185 cm)
