Return of the Living Dead 4: Necropolis, Baby Zombie Static Puppet With Headgear

original movie prop

This is a baby zombie puppet used in the 2005 horror film Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis. Items such as this can be seen in the film as a group of teenagers discover a laboratory while trying to rescue a friend from an evil corporation.

The puppet is made of silicone over a fiberglass shell which has been attached to metal rods, forming an adjustable skeletal structure. This item has been skillfully crafted to resemble a baby version of the undead. The silicone has been painted to resemble decaying flesh. The hands and feet have been painstakingly sculpted to include tiny fingers and toes, and the mouth is slightly opened revealing tiny undeveloped teeth.

This puppet, which remains in good condition displays slight wear from production use (see photo's), and includes an elaborate head brace seen in the film, which is incomplete.
