An artist proof of an officially licensed, light-up, life-size bust replica of Gentle Rosenberg from Barry Sonnenfeld's Men in Black. Coroner Laurel Weaver (Linda Fiorentino) and Agent Jay (Will Smith) discovered that The Bug killed Arquillian prince Rosenberg (Mike Nussbaum) while he was disguised as a human on Earth.

Originating from the bust sculptor Brian Wade, this 1:1-scale, limited-edition replica artist proof was created by Elite Creature Collectibles (ECC) based directly on the production originals. It is constructed from resin with metal components, synthetic hair, glass eyes, and polyblend fabric. The human face, held closed by magnets, opens to reveal Rosenberg in a removable cockpit designed to illuminate via a switch on the base powered by an AC-adapter and comes with a pair of non-prescription glasses with case. Included are nine original clay and wax Rosenberg sculpture pieces and an instruction booklet featuring photos of Wade sculpting the bust. The wax sculpture was used to create a 3D scan for the mass produced models. This lot is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Elite Creature Collectibles numbering this as "AP05." It exhibits frayed synthetic fibers and cracked resin on the interior of the head. Dimensions: 14" x 15.5" x 26.5" (35.5 cm x 39.5 cm x 67.5 cm)

Additional Provenance: Certificate of Authenticity from Elite Creature Collectibles.
