An original screen used stop motion puppet featured in the 2012 award nominated film The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!
This puppet, known as The Pirate with a Scarf or Number Two, is in his Scientist disguise. Voiced by Martin Freeman, he is clearly seen throughout the Scientist of the Year competition at the Royal Society of London scene.
The outfit has been created from foam latex and his skin is silicon with a small amount of plasticine around his eyes and eyebrows, so to allow the puppeters to change his expression.
He is entirly posable via the intricate internal steel skeleton, and also features an interchangable mouthpiece made from 'Rapid Prototyped' resin. The mouthpiece is attached to the face with a small magnet.
The puppet measures approx 12.5" tall x 4" at the widest point.
He is in an excellent production used condition, with minimal excess wear from use.
