Our expert's notes

An animatronic baby Joe (Verne Troyer) puppet from Ron Underwood’s family adventure Mighty Joe Young. This lot consists of a metal and foam body dressed in an ape bodysuit made from a black spandex, silicone blend chest piece, and black hair. A pair of hand and feet pieces attach to the suit via hidden snaps along their edges. The foam body features a fiberglass head casting of Troyer that is attached to inner mechanics which allowed for head movement. This lot is completed with a baby Joe stunt head designed to be worn by Troyer. This piece includes a fiberglass skull cap dressed with foam latex and hand-punched hair. The eyes and teeth are made of painted acrylic. The articulated jaw can be opened and closed by the performer to reveal the teeth and silicone tongue. All pieces show light wear from use and storage, but remain in overall good condition. Dimensions: 36” x 16” x 12” (91 cm x 41 cm x 30 cm)
