A George Mogwai puppet from Joe Dante's horror-comedy sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch. After water accidently spilled on Gizmo in the Clamp Enterprises office, he spawned a number of new Mogwai, including George.
Created by Academy Award-winning special-effects artist Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios, full-body Mogwai puppets were used for the film's earlier scenes, when the characters needed to be viewed in full.
The puppet's skin is made of foam latex; the mechanical body is covered with soft brown, white and black faux fur. The foam latex skin is fully painted and displays a high level of detail, with acrylic eyes and painted fingernails and toenails. A metal armature runs throughout the body, connected to four cables controlling the puppet's arms and legs. A team of puppeteers operated the limbs and hands using the four plastic squeeze-trigger cable controls while on set. Displaying light signs of wear, with slight hardening and cracking to the foam latex on the feet, the puppet remains in very good condition, and is presented on a custom-made light-up display stand. Dimensions (displayed): 40 cm x 41 cm x 49 cm (15 3/4'' x 16 1/4'' x 19 1/4'')
This item contains mechanical components. While every effort is made to describe them accurately, no guarantee or warranty is made as to functionality, lifespan or safety of those components. It is entirely incumbent on the new owner to satisfy themselves as to their safe use and maintenance.

7.15. Prop Store recommends working with its preferred third-party independent freight agent Precision Cargo on any questions regarding importing and exporting Lots.
7.16.

Buyer understands and agrees that Prop Store shall have no obligation or responsibility for complying with any export procedures, regulations, or laws applicable to the Lot.
7.19. Unless otherwise agreed by Prop Store in writing, the fact that the Buyer wishes to apply for an export licence does not affect or postpone the Buyers obligation to make payment in accordance with Prop Stores payment terms nor Prop Stores right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. If the Buyer requests Prop Store to apply for an export licence on his or her behalf, Prop Store shall be entitled to make a charge and be paid for this service. Prop Store shall not be obliged to rescind or cancel a sale nor to refund any monies paid by the Buyer to Prop Store as a result of or related to the Buyers failure or inability to obtain an export license.
7.20. Where Lots are not collected within 14 calendar days from the due date of payment, whether or not payment has been made, a storage fee of 3% of the Hammer Price per month shall be charged to the Buyer.
