Our expert's notes

A mail room Joey alien from Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black II. This piece was created for the film’s post office reveal sequence. The body of the puppet consists of a hollow resin chest and legs that is internally supported by metal beams. The head is made of foam latex that has been painted to appear organic. Beneath the foam latex skin is a mechanical armature that connects to an array of puppeteering cables and connected hand controls. Additional electronic controls for the head are housed in the body cavity. The arms are made of silicone and also feature a metal armature inside. The piece is costumed in a postman’s uniform with a button down blue shirt, blue pants, belt, and black shoes. The shirt is labeled “D. Jones #2,” referring to performer Doug Jones, who portrayed Joey in his human disguise. This piece has undergone sympathetic conservation and stabilization; additional information available upon inquiry. This full body piece remains in good condition. Dimensions: 9” x 18” x 72” (23 cm x 46 cm x 183 cm)
