Our expert's notes

A prototype Michael Jackson robotic transformation face from the production of his action fantasy Moonwalker. This mechanical face was used during the scene in which Jackson transforms into a robotic spaceship near the end of the film. The face is constructed of a metal frame, 11 servo motors, 12 fiberglass face plates attached to hinged supports, 2 light-up eyes, a fiberglass neck piece, and a fiberglass forehead piece. When the face was activated, servos would press the hinged supports forward causing the 12 face plates to fold out and move the light-up eyes for a transformation effect. The fiberglass pieces are finished with a silver paint to appear metallic. The piece shows some wear from production and age, such as scuffed paint and chipped fiberglass, but remains in overall good condition. Dimensions: 9" x 7" x 11" (23 cm x 17 cm x 28 cm)
