Hmmmm, doesn't look legit to me. I could be wrong

[Powder]

They're legit, but not in the sense they were used for anything. They were early prototype moulds, testing the waters on design & material alike. These things have changed hands more times than Courtney Love's coochie. Nobody ever wants to keep them for long.

[Candy Kappa]

They look pretty bad.

[Plasticplayhouse]

Yup, they are ugly. I wouldn't want them if they were free.

Ouch, oh well if stay with me won't be the end of the world I kinda enjoy them tbh not letting go because displeased with them just not in a position to restore of display

Wow. It's incredibly rude to pop into a sale thread and start heavily knocking the item.

Test pulls and raw material casts are never "pretty". It's exactly that-- raw. All of the Henson heads that we saw flickering on screen at 24 frames per second looked exactly like this prior to being painted and pulled over the animatronics. This kind of thing is generally for collectors that go after film production material.

The head pulls remind me of a Jabba face sold by the Prop Store a few years ago. Tom Spina sculpted a really cool support form in the proper shape. It's a kick ass display.
