An officially licensed replica of a Rizzo the Rat puppet from Jim Henson's The Muppets franchise. First appearing in the 48th episode of The Muppet Show in 1978, Rizzo the Rat became a fan-favorite background character with his scene-stealing antics through the final season. He was often associated with Gonzo the Great and shared a double act with Gonzo since 1992.

This Rizzo puppet was built by master fabricator Michael Moore for eFX Collectibles' line of Muppets replicas, which was announced in 2009 but ultimately cancelled prior to release. One of very few completed examples known to exist, it was constructed from original production patterns and materials provided by The Muppets Studio. It originates from Moore's personal workshop.

The puppet is built from faux fur-covered foam moulded around a wire armature with resin components. It comes dressed in a custom red "RatPanic" varsity jacket with three feather head tufts, translucent plastic whiskers, and a red velveteen tail. This lot exhibits frayed fibres and discolouration on the tail. Dimensions: 40.75 cm x 43.25 cm x 43.25 cm (16" x 17" x 17")

Estimate: £3,000 - 6,000 Ω
