The telepathic leaders of the Arachnids, Brain Bugs sucked brain matter from their prey, including Fleet pilot Zander Barcalow (Patrick Muldoon). This cast resin maquette was sculpted by Peter Konig. It is painted in two different styles on the left and right side of its body. One side features a green/blue hue while the other half is painted with brown tones that closely resemble the Brain Bug's final appearance in the film. It features minor signs of wear from age and use, including scratches in the paint and a front leg that has been fixed with glue, but it remains in good overall condition. Dimensions: 13.5" x 6.25" x 7.75" (34.5 cm x 16 cm x 19.75 cm) Estimate: $2,500 - 3,500
