This is a very rare to find, and very well made 16 cable, 8 axis animatronic puppetry rig. I sell this as the rig, because the skin is rough. but if you can match this, you have a rare Hero Puppet here. The controllers and servo board are missing, but triggers are out there.
These simply never come around intact like this. They are so time consuming, and expensive to make that they are always used, and reused into submission! Then broken down for parts, then I finally get it.
This is part of world famous special effects legend STEVE JOHNSON's XFX shop liquidation.
