Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. An animatronic Judas Breed insect from Guillermo Del Toro's sci-fi horror film Mimic. A new species of insect genetically engineered to wipe out Manhattan's many cockroaches quickly evolved to massive size and began hunting humans. This resin and plastic animatronic insect is hand-painted brown and black and constructed around a mechanical armature with cables and wires designed to articulate its six legs. The bug is mounted via metal rod to a black wooden base with metal bars and fastening strips attached. While it has undergone some sympathetic restoration, this lot remains in fair overall condition with cracking, paint flaking, and broken legs from use and age, and the levers should not be operated. Dimensions: 26.75" x 21.5" x 16.75" (68 cm x 54.75 cm x 42.75 cm) Contains mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
