Splice, Splice cable controlled Ginger / Fred Silicon puppet

original movie prop

This is a cable operated creature from the 2010 Adrien Brody sci-fi film Splice. This puppet can be seen in the film as genetic engineers Clive Nicoli (Brody) and Elsa Kast (Sarah Polley) splice together DNA from different animals, making hybrids. Results of such experiments are “Fred” and “Ginger;” two small blob creatures, one of which is this item, that gain the scientists notoriety. The impressive piece is made of silicone, and has features such as a small spine and has a texture and composition reminiscent of a human brain. Additionally, there are numerous cable controls which allowed for the piece to move about, giving an eerie sense of life within. This item, which is pink in color, measures 13” x 7” (33cm x 18cm,) and has long cable controls still attached and exiting the bottom of the piece. This piece is in very good condition.
