ALIENS (1986) - Animatronic Cable-controlled Xenomorph Tail

An animatronic cable-controlled xenomorph tail from James Cameron's sci-fi action sequel Aliens. Xenomorph warriors used their tails as weapons, and one lifted its tail menacingly above Newt (Carrie Henn) as it rose out of the water behind her. The tail is made primarily of foam rubber around a metal armature. Several metal cables run down the interior length of the tail and protrude out of the base. These were used to control the tail's movement. It has some wear from age and use: its tip has come away, exposing the wires, and the foam rubber remains in a fragile condition, with cracks all along the tail. Dimensions (length of tail): 153 cm x 19 cm x 15 cm (60 1/4" x 7 1/2" x 6")

Special shipping required; see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: GBP 8000 - 16000 M
