A battle-damaged RoboCain (Tom Noonan) stop-motion puppet from the production of Irvin Kershner's sci-fi sequel RoboCop 2. Built to be the next generation of cybernetic police officer to protect the citizens of Detroit, RoboCop 2 (also known as RoboCain) was created using the brain of criminal cult leader Cain, and instead went on a rampage in downtown Detroit. This lot comes from the collection of the film's associate producer and visual effects artist, Phil Tippett.

The stop-motion puppet is made primarily of resin over an intricate, machined stop-motion armature, with the body painted in shades of metallic silvertone, grey, and black to give the appearance of being entirely made of metal. A weathered finish, with scuffs and black staining, was applied by production to simulate battle-damage. Finer details include small cables and wires, cylindrical pistons, a yellow and black ionizing radiation hazard symbol, and an arm-mounted minigun with an ammunition belt. While most stop-motion puppets must hide a stop-motion armature beneath an exterior character layer, this puppet is unique in that (as it portrays a mechanical being) it incorporates the stop-motion armature right into the visible mechanics of the robot. The highly detailed puppet comes attached to a black-painted wooden base with a clear acrylic cover. The lot is in excellent overall condition with minimal wear from production and age, including some paint chipping. Includes a letter of authenticity from Phil Tippett. Dimensions (with cover): 53.5 cm x 32 cm x 48.5 cm (21" x 12 1/2" x 19")
