A Michael Jackson light-up robotic face and lifecast from his music anthology film Moonwalker. This appliance comes from the scene when Jackson transformed into a robotic spaceship.

The lot consists of a two-piece mask and a lifecast of Jackson's head. The front of the mask is made of vacuform plastic and fits over the face with a black elastic strap. The face features lights attached within the eyes. The second mask component is a rigid hairpiece that slides onto the back of the scalp. The hairpiece shows black gaffer tape applied to the exterior, likely an on-set alteration intended to control light reflections. The pair displays geometric robot-like facial features that are painted faux silver to appear metallic. Also included is a fibreglass lifecast of Jackson, used as a stand-in during production, which is built on a simple wooden base. The piece shows minor wear due to production use, with small breaks in the vacuform plastic, and it has undergone electronics restoration, but remains in good condition. Dimensions (on base): 30 cm x 26 cm x 39 cm (12" x 10 1/4" x 15 1/2")
