Noid's Claymation Puppet - DOMINO'S PIZZA COMMERCIALS (1980s)


Noid Claymation stop-motion puppet from the Domino’s television commercials. The clay puppet is sculpted over a metal armature and is hand-painted with a flesh-colored face grinning impishly through a superhero cowl. Long rabbit-like ears attach via peg holes in the head, a small metal pin and several screws used to position it between frames for stop-motion animation are exposed on back. Noid is painted to appear like he is wearing a superhero ensemble with a white and black 'N' logo on his belly. The puppet is in excellent condition overall, retaining its vibrant 80s colors. Some slight cracking is visible, as is consistent with the medium.

Designed by advertising agency Group 243 and produced in collaboration with Will Vinton Studios, the Noid and its slogan ‘Avoid the Noid’ became a pop-culture staple after Domino’s introduced the mischievous mascot in 1980s commercials, even appearing in Michael Jackson’s Speed Demon video.

Dimensions: 4” x 5” x 8 ½” (10 cm x 12 ½ cm x 21 ½ cm)
