Our expert's notes

A full-size dissected Arkellian sand beetle from Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi satire Starship Troopers. Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien), Carmen Ibanez (Denise Richards), and their classmates performed an autopsy on large alien bugs.

This full-size sand beetle, designed by Academy Award-winning special effects group Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI), has foam-rubber legs, a resin abdomen, silicone innards exposed by a cut down the middle, and faux hair punched throughout. The shell and legs are molded around a steel armature with woven metal wire for handling. The beetle has some grime on the innards from age and paint stains on the resin.

Dimensions: 84 cm x 70 cm x 33 cm (33" x 27 1/2" x 13")

£2,000 - 3,000 US Δ
