Lot # 515: BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED (1987) - Pair of Fix-It Prototypes
This lot will be auctioned on Wednesday, June 30th. The auction will begin at 9:00am PDT and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace. Note other lots in the auction may close on June 29th or July 1st. A pair of Fix-It prototypes from Matthew Robbins sci-fi fantasy batteries not included. Robotic aliens known as Fix-Its helped the tenants of a building when their home faced demolition. These hand-painted resin prototypes, one gray with clear eyes and one brown with stripes and silver-color eyes, were created at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) as design reference models. Several veteran ILM artists, including Ralph McQuarrie and Paul Huston, contributed to their designs. Both Fix-Its were mounted to display bases, though the brown model has since broken off at the legs. Otherwise, the lot is in good overall condition with glue residue, some paint splatter, and scuffing throughout. Dimensions (gray): 4.5" x 4" x 4" (11.5 cm x 10.25 cm x 10.25 cm); (brown): 4.75" x 4.75" x 2.5" (12 cm x 12 cm x 6.25 cm) Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000
