E.T. Animatronic Head Sells For $635K at Auction

The unique mechanical animatronic head from Steven Spielberg‘s “E.T. The Further-Terrestrial” has offered, and as you’d count on … it went for an astronomical last bid.

A whopping $635,000 was shelled out for the long-lasting piece created by legendary particular results artist Carlo Rambaldi. It is composed of a metallic body and a foam latex outer pores and skin, which may activate the pulsation of veins in some close-up scenes.

The 1982 film centered round a younger boy befriending an alien stranded on Earth … catapulting the likes of Drew Barrymore and Henry Thomas to mega-stardom.

The sale was made by way of Julien’s Public sale, which joined forces with TCM Presents throughout a 4-day star-studded public sale occasion entitled “Hollywood Legends” — and all of it kicked off Thursday with a “Robots, Wizards, Heroes & Aliens” themed night in Beverly Hills.

Different popular culture memorabilia auctioned off included a “Misplaced in Area” Robotic Mannequin B-9 promoting for $455,000 … and a “Conan The Destroyer” sword netting $45,500 — 4 occasions greater than it was estimated to bag.
