Gremlins, Original Stop-Motion Gremlin Puppet

original model / miniature

This is one of the very few (6 are known) remaining stop-motion Gremlin puppets from the first Gremlins movie (13 cm - 5 1/2 inches high). Labeled as #20.
Designed by Chris Walas, made by the Chiodo Brothers and animated by Peter Kleinow.
Made of still supple polyfoam; however the latex paint has become very fragile. A true treasure (especially in such good condition!) and definitively the most meaningful piece in my collection.
Bought in 2011 at Premiere Props' Hollywood Auction Extravaganza - sold by the film's sound designer, who also signed the Certificate of Authenticity.
