Our expert's notes

A split worm guy puppet from Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black II. This puppet was created for the sequence in which Jay (Will Smith) and Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) return to the worms’ apartment to find them all momentarily dismembered. The pieces are constructed with foam latex skins over a resin and metal armature structure that houses the wiring for the puppets. The upper portions remain almost entirely intact with small pieces of skin missing due to storage. Two of the worm’s stomach appendages have fallen off, however one is included. The bottom portion features damage to the left leg where the piece has torn from the body at the hip. A section of skin is also missing from the lower left leg. Both parts come with intact puppeteer cables and remain in fair condition. Upper body dimensions: 27” x 7” x 5” (69 cm x 18 cm x 13 cm); lower body dimensions: 16” x 5” x 5” (41 cm x 13 cm x 13 cm)
