Hi all, I won the Prop Store auction for the one of the two rebuilt Robbie Sinclair animatronic heads from the TV series "Dinosaurs". The original heads were built in London and rebuilt between seasons 2 and 3 to make them more robust. I've contacted the guy who built it and we are currently discussing details of its construction. Please see the photos posted here: Robbie Sinclair head. It's very detailed and complex!

Great piece. How many were made? 'Cause the one in the creature shops looks a bit different. Yours still has some skin on it, while that one hasn't.

I was told that the original was made in London and was completely rebuilt in Los Angeles between seasons 2 and 3, as it was not designed to stand up to the rigors of 12 hour production days. But you're right the one on the wall looks a bit cleaner. I'll ask about it. EDIT: turns out there were two heads for each character, so it would be more accurate to say I have one of the two "rebuilt" Robbie heads. ;)

Still fantastic to own. Those at Henson will never leave the creature shop. You can see that one in one of Adam's vids as well.

Oh yeah, I remember watching this a while back! Thanks for the reminder.
