An animatronic Vogon head display from Garth Jennings' sci-fi comedy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Vogons, a bureaucratic alien race, destroyed Earth in order to open a hyperspace bypass.

Created by the Jim Henson Creature Shop, this display consists of a hand-painted green and purple plastic and foam latex Vogon head with glass eyes, resin teeth, hand-punched hair, a metal interior structure housing mechanical and animatronic components, a thick black cable running through the neck, and buckles for connecting to a larger puppet. The head is mounted on a metal stand affixed to a wooden display base marked "Mrs. Minion". It is in good overall condition with some signs of production and age, including minor deterioration to the foam. Dimensions: 23 3/4" x 23 3/4" x 29" (60.5 cm x 60.5 cm x 73.75 cm)

Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide

Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
