A Michael Jackson robotic face reference bust from the production of musical anthology Moonwalker. Michael transformed into a robotic spaceship when he was ambushed by Mr. Big (Joe Pesci) and his soldiers in the lair where Katie (Kellie Parker) was held captive.

This bust was created as a reference piece for the final stages of Michael's transformation into the robot. Makeup was applied over a lifecast so the proportions remained accurate. The lot is constructed from a fiberglass "skin" layer that has been filled with plaster. Finished in a metallic silvertone paint, the lot displays geometric facial features and sculpted hair.

Signs of production use include paint wear, scuff marks, dried spots of plaster on the hair and several small hairline cracks, notably along the left side of the jaw.

Dimensions: 10 1/4" x 9" x 14 1/2" (26 cm x 23 cm x 37 cm)

Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000
