A Martian stop-motion puppet from the production of Tim Burton's sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks! Based on the Topps trading card series, the film saw Martian invaders terrorizing humanity in their plan to conquer Earth. Stop-motion puppets were created during pre-production, but CGI Martians were used instead.

This puppet is made of foam rubber cast around a wire armature. While the puppet was still unfinished following the completion of the film, it has since been given a highly-detailed professional paint job. The yellow eyes with red pupils, and red felt briefs are replicas to complete the Martian puppet. It exhibits signs of repair to the foam rubber. Dimensions: 15" x 3" x 3" (38.25 cm x 7.75 cm x 7.75 cm)

Estimate: $2,500 - 5,000
