Description

Michael Jackson Moonwalker reference bust. Michael Jackson Moonwalker reference bust. From the 1988 anthology film Michael Jackson: Moonwalker. This life-sized bust was created as a master reference piece for the third stage of Michael's transformation into his robot character, seen toward the end of the film. This highly detailed reference piece was used for review and discussion of design and concept during production of the film. The robot transformation makeup was sculpted over a life cast of Michael Jackson, so the proportions and shape are true to the star's face. The entire piece is constructed of a silver painted cast fiberglass shell, which is filled with plaster and also exhibits a central wooden plug for stability. The impressive bust measures approximately 9 x 9 x 14 in. With some hairline cracking on the jaw line and neck. This piece remains in good condition.
