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.

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

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.

Original pull


Info on the display can be found here-- http://www.tomspinadesigns.com/displ...-the-hutt.html

Finished display
