The Prop Store has had a special place in my heart this past year because of the chances it gave me to make some childhood wishes come true. This recent purchase however, left me speechless.
After being inspired by Streetjudge79's awesome purchase of a Mohawk face from Gremlins 2 (See his thread here: http://www.therpf.com/f45/im-mogwai-owner-103568/), I began looking to see if I could find a piece of Gizmo for my collection. Sure enough, the timing was right and I found a Gizmo face up for sale.
Apparently, for the film, Gizmo had several faces with different emotions to be swapped out for the scenes. This particular Gizmo, a fear expression, came with the original storage box used during production:
Now the reason why I said this purchase left me speechless was for the following:
Along with the face came two additional items that were not in the description that floored me.
First was a seperate C.O.A and signed document BY RICK BAKER HIMSELF:
I found that to be a completely awesome surprise and something I will forever cherish.
The second item almost missed my eye. When I opened the box, here is what was nestled in the corner:
And when I pulled it out:
COULD THIS BE WHAT I THINK IT IS? :sick
I thought I remembered the knot being higher, thus more material hanging below the knot, but this was a sucker punch to find. It appears to have a mix of tape (with stuck gizmo hair) and some pins through it, perhaps to attach it to Gizmo.
What do you guys think? COULD THIS ACTUALLY BE a production used/SU Rambo Gizmo bandanna?

Sad face Gizmo.
