Our expert's notes

A Daffy marionette Gremlin puppet from Joe Dante's horror comedy Gremlins 2: The New Batch. This marionette was designed for shots featuring Daffy's entire body, such as the dentist's chair scene. A puppeteer would operate this puppet using the attached traditional marionette bars. This foam latex puppet is strung to two wooden bars and is detailed with a green and brown spotted color scheme. Daffy's face features detailed resin teeth, a painted foam latex tongue, and lifelike acrylic eyes. Daffy's head is detailed with several stalks with interior wire to make them malleable. The marionette is presented hanging on a metal pipe stand that is attached to a black wooden base. This piece has undergone sympathetic conservation and stabilization; additional information available upon inquiry. This puppet shows slight wear, such as cracked foam latex, but remains in overall good condition. Marionette dimensions: 12” x 17” x 28” (30 cm x 43 cm x 71 cm); dimensions (on stand): 17½” x 17½” x 50” (44 cm x 44 cm x 127 cm)
