Our expert's notes

A Greta Gremlin puppet from Joe Dante's horror comedy Gremlins 2: The New Batch. This puppet was used in scenes in which the upper body of the Gremlin was prominently featured and needed to include head and facial movement.

Made of foam latex, this puppet features Greta’s voluptuous figure, big red lips, high heels, and leopard skirt. The piece features disabled puppetry mechanisms which were used by puppeteers on set: There is a wire and toggle stick which causes the eyes to shift and the eyelids to close; there is also a mechanism that allows the ears to wiggle. These mechanisms have all been disabled to protect the fragile puppet. The puppet has been brilliantly restored by Brian Penikas, a painter for the film originally, and his team at Make-Up and Monsters Studios. It is presented on its original stand which has been painted black; the original label has been preserved which describes the puppet as “GM #408, Type B,” “Back Fin Only,” etc. This puppet shows signs of age such as cracking but remains in overall good condition. Dimensions: 16” x 12” x 35”
