Our expert's notes

A First Contact alien display figure from Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black film series. A mainstay of the series, this species of alien was the first to make contact with the Men in Black and can be seen in the background of MIB headquarters in all three films. This full body figure was created for use in Baker’s display room at Cinovation Studios, utilizing costume components from the first two films. The body is created from metal armature padded with foam throughout to fill out the figure’s wardrobe. The silicone head and hands were created for the display and are painted to match the look of the appliances created for the film. A pair of black plastic lenses completes the look of the face. The costume jumpsuit costume is made from a variety of vinyl materials, arranged and coated to appear space-age. The armature in the arms and fingers is malleable, allowing the figure’s limbs to be moderately posable for display purposes. The figure is mounted on a black, wooden display stand that was taken directly from the original display. This piece has undergone sympathetic conservation and stabilization; additional information available upon inquiry. The figure remains in good condition. Dimensions (on display): 24” x 24” x 76” (61 cm x 61 cm x 193 cm)
