A maquette of Marfalump (Billy West) created during the production of promotional tie-ins for George Lucas' Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Marfalump, an alien who loved Star Wars and Pepsi, appeared in advertisements promoting the film and the beverage, including three national commercials over the summer of 1999. He was created by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) Commercial Productions in partnership with the advertising agency BBDO-New York.

This maquette was sculpted by long time ILM sculptor Richard Miller and painted by ILM artist Danny Wagner. It is made of resin painted brown and white with yellow eyes and a sculpted white T-shirt (part of the resin casting) with a blue Star Wars logo. It is mounted to a black wooden base. The maquette is missing the tip of the tail and both antennae, and the front arms appear to have been previously broken and reattached. The base and body exhibit some scuffing and minor discoloration from age. Dimensions: 9.5" x 7" x 13.5" (24.25 cm x 18 cm x 34.5 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 6,000
