(The Character Shop, 1995) A large penguin puppet created by The Character Shop for a Japanese Chivas Regal ad. The studio behind effects for “Spaceballs,” “Hook,” and “Mimic” created 30 penguins overall for the spot, which involved the work of 45 puppeteers. Three of these impressively-crafted penguins were later used in a TUKA commercial. This puppet features a combination of cable and nylon control cords, with the nylon likely used as a quick fix on set. The penguin’s beak, stretching neck, and wing functions worked when tested. Measuring 31” x 14” x 45” tall, the penguin displays in good condition with fur discoloration from age, stains, cracks in the wings, paint chipping, scuffs, scratches, four missing claws on its feet, and wear from production use. Due to size and weight, this item requires special shipping arrangements. Please inquire before bidding.
