GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH (1990) - Mohawk Mogwai Puppet's Replacement Face - A Mohawk Mogwai puppet's replacement face from the production of Joe Dante's Gremlins 2: The New Batch. When water accidently spilled on Gizmo (Howie Mandel) in the Clamp Enterprises office, he spawned a number of new Mogwai, including ringleader Mohawk (Frank Welker), who forced Gizmo into an air vent.

This face was created by Academy Award& reg;-winning Gremlins and Mogwai effects supervisor Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios to change the Mohawk puppet's facial expressions between frames. It is constructed of fiberglass-lined foam latex painted pink on the smirking mouth and nose and hand-punched with Mohawk's signature synthetic black-and-white fur. The fur exhibits yellowing and the reverse exhibits adhesive residue. While the foam latex remains supple due to careful storage, the face remains fragile and should be handled with caution. Dimensions: 5.5" x 6" x 9" (14 cm x 15.25 cm x 23 cm)

Additional Provenance: Letter of Authenticity from Rick Baker.

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
