Warrior Bugs used their monstrous dual-pincer jaws to consume Mobile Infantrymen throughout the film. Full-size versions of the Bugs were constructed by creature visual effects supervisor Phil Tippett, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on the film. This fiberglass lower mandible segment is hand-painted black, red, and yellow with textured rivets and battle damage applied to the tip. It is in good overall condition with some grime and punctured fiberglass from production use. Dimensions: 31" x 9" x 9" (78.75 cm x 23 cm x 23 cm) Estimate: $800 - 1,200
