Our expert's notes

A paint test head of the evil Nazi thug Lothar (Tiny Ron Taylor) from Joe Johnston’s The Rocketeer. Designed to resemble actor Rondo Hatton, this paint test head displays exaggerated facial features with an extended jaw, large nose, and long cranium. Crafted from foam latex, this piece has been painted to resemble realistic skin tones and has faux eyebrows pasted just above the eyes. Plastic teeth have been inserted into the gaping mouth, however only the bottom row of teeth are present. An impression stamp from Rick Baker’s studio is found on the back of the head that notes the year of creation as 1990. The head resides on a wood base that has been painted black. This piece has undergone sympathetic conservation and stabilization; additional information available upon inquiry. The head shows wear to the foam latex which has hardened with age, but remains in fair condition. Dimensions: 11” x 11” x 15” (28 cm x 28 cm x 38 cm)
