Our expert's notes

A full spider bunny alien puppet from Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black II. This impressive creature was created for use in the background of the Men in Black customs terminal and was featured heavily in promotional tie-in material for the film. The cart included was used to move the puppet into position on set and was removed before the piece was filmed. The puppet features a foam latex skinned main body, black nylon skull pods, with the four crab-like legs and segments of the creature’s undercarriage skinned in a urethane blend. The entire piece has been painted in great detail to give the illusion of a shell-like surface throughout, though the main body’s foam is still notably soft. The left flank of the abdomen skin unbuttons to reveal the inner controls and working functions of the puppet. The interior motors would control the motion of the puppet's legs. Although the puppet was designed to stand on its own, the creature is supported by a metal pole which leads from the bottom of the abdomen to two wooden boxes beneath the piece. These boxes rest on a metal cart used to store the creature and allow it to be easily moved. The alien shows only minor wear and remains in good condition. Dimensions: 43” x 37” x 68” (109 cm x 94 cm x 173 cm)
