BATMAN RETURNS (1992) - Static Penguin Commando - A static Penguin Commando from Tim Burton's Batman Returns. Once his plan to kidnap the children of Gotham began to fold, the Penguin (Danny DeVito) released his rocket-wielding Penguin Commandos to destroy Gotham. Production used static penguin puppets to fill out the crowd of live birds, many of whom would not stay still for the duration of the sequence.

Batman Returns was nominated for a total of 11 awards, including a Golden Raspberry Award to Danny Devito for Worst Supporting Actor and an MTV Movie Award to Michelle Pfieffer for Most Desirable Actress. Overall, the film won a Saturn Award for Best Make-Up awarded to Ve Neill and Stan Winston.

This rubber penguin was molded around metal rods and hand-painted black, white, and silver-color to appear as if it is wearing a helmet and harness. It is affixed via metallic loops on the back with a resin rocket painted silver-color with red and white stripes. This penguin comes mounted via metal rods through the feet to a black painted wooden base. It exhibits cracking around its legs and discoloration around the helmet and fins from production use and age. Dimensions: 8" x 13" x 22.5" (20.5 cm x 33 cm x 57.25 cm)

Estimate: $8,000 - 16,000
