GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH (1990) - Daffy Gremlin Marionette - A Daffy Gremlin marionette from Joe Dante's horror comedy Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Daffy captured Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) in a dentist chair.

Dante's irreverent sequel garnered a cult following for its pioneering receipt of a PG-13 rating, the inclusion of genre stalwarts like Christopher Lee and Robert Picardo, and the introduction of several new Gremlins, including the cross-eyed Daffy.

Created by Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios, this foam latex Daffy puppet is strung to two wooden bars and detailed with a green and brown spotted color scheme. The puppet's face features detailed resin teeth, a painted foam latex tongue, and lifelike acrylic eyes. Daffy's head is detailed with several stalks with interior wire to make them malleable. The marionette is presented hanging on a metal pipe stand that is attached to a black wooden base. This piece has undergone sympathetic conservation and stabilization. This puppet exhibits slight wear, such as cracked foam latex. Dimensions: 17.5" x 17.5" x 50" (44.5 cm x 44.5 cm x 127 cm)

Estimate: $40,000 - 80,000
