Our expert's notes

A Homunculus stop-motion puppet from the black comedy The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse. Dr Erasmus Pea (David Warner) created a monster from his deceased comrades when he and fellow residents of the fictional town of Royston Vasey came under threat of extinction by the writers.

Created by MacKinnon and Saunders, the green three-headed, winged lizard features the heads of Sir Nicholas Sheet-Lightning (Mark Gatiss), Father Halfhearte (Reece Shearsmith) and Lemuel Blizzard (Steve Pemberton). The puppet has an internal armature for posing, and is covered in foam latex and carefully painted. Two claws from the right hand are separate but present, severed as part of the film’s battle scene. The base of the feet has holes for securing it to the set. There are some minor cracks and rips on well-used joints, but the puppet remains in otherwise very good condition. Dimensions: 38 cm x 19 cm x 55 cm (15” x 7 ½” x 21 ¾”)

£1,500 - 2,500

Additional Information

The creators were keen to use classic techniques pioneered by Ray Harryhausen, rather than CGI, for the monster.
