Our expert's notes

This is a glove style biting piranha from the 2010 horror-comedy Piranha 3D as well as its' 2012 sequel, Piranha 3DD. This particular puppet was used in the first film for numerous shots of the piranhas biting into bikini-dressed chicken meat and in the sequel for shots of biting through plates and grates.
Crafted from foam latex, this item features a highly detailed, scale painted exterior; with a gradating blue, green and yellow color scheme, as well as red accents around the gills and fins. This item also features a pair of acrylic green and black eyes and an open mouth filled with pointed silicone teeth with a sharp wire present in each tooth. The rear of the fish, which stops halfway through the body, features an armhole leading to an interior glove at the piranha's head; this allowed a puppeteer to control the biting movements on screen. Additionally, there is a plunger connected to plastic tubing which runs to a small hole at the top of the mouth used for pumping fake blood through the piece.
This piranha measures approximately 10" x 13" (25cm x 33cm) and features some light wear due to production use but remains in good condition.

This item is located in London.
