Finished in dark gray and faux silver with copper-coil detailing.

This hero prop was built to a larger scale for close-up shots. Battery is exhausted and electronics untested. Measures 6" x 5.25". Accompanied by (6) 8.5" x 11" production copies of UV Bomb schematics and single photocopy storyboard of the UV Bomb/Grenade in an explosion sequence. Exhibits production wear with light scuffing to paint finish. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.

"I have used oversized props rarely (here and Hellboy II, the prince Nuada's giant hand and egg), but I love it. I used this one to be able to mechanize and rig the effects physically and shoot it on camera." From the personal collection of Guillermo del Toro.
