LIFEFORCE (1985) - Roger Derebridge (Nicholas Ball) Model Miniature Puppet with Manned Manoeuvering Unit

A Roger Derebridge (Nicholas Ball) miniature puppet with a Manned Manoeuvering Unit from Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce. British astronaut Derebridge donned a spacesuit when he ventured into an alien spaceship. Puppets were created for the model-miniature shots inside the spaceship.

The body is made of plaster and dressed in a baggy Spandex spacesuit that is decorated with flag and emblem stickers at the shoulders. Attached to the chest via tape is a life-support-system box which is made of vacuum-formed plastic. The puppet is outfitted with a NASA Manned Manoeuvering Unit, which is made of vacuum-formed plastic and decorated with both US and UK flag stickers. The puppet previously had wires attached to suspend the piece and make the legs kick; however, these wires have since been cut. The prop exhibits some wear due to production use and age, including torn stickers and a missing compartment door on the Manned Manoeuvering Unit. Dimensions: 20.5 cm x 20.5 cm x 48.5 cm (8" x 8" x 19")

Estimate: GBP 3000 - 6000 OMEGA
