A set of upper and lower full-size Warrior Bug jaw pieces from the production of Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi satire Starship Troopers. Warrior Bugs used their monstrous dual-pincered jaws to consume Mobile Infantrymen throughout the film. This lot comes from the collection of creature visual effects supervisor, Phil Tippett, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on the film, including the construction of the Bugs.

This two-piece fiberglass jaw is hand-painted black, red, and yellow with textured rivets and one piece molded around a steel pole for rigging to a full-size Warrior. The pair is in good overall condition with scuffed fiberglass and chipped paint throughout from production. Includes a letter of authenticity from Phil Tippett.

Dimensions ( each): 56" x 56" x 29" (127 cm x 127 cm x 127 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
