Description

"Meg Mucklebones" maquette by Rob Bottin from Legend. (Embassy Intl, 1985) Original "Swamp Witch" mask maquette constructed of slip cast vinyl shell and expertly painted in motley greens with ivory teeth and eyes peering out of the highly detailed sculptural lines and crags. The casting extends to a breastplate that juts from the neck a full 5 in. around. One of the many imaginative and startling characters created by retired genius FX artist Rob Bottin. In the film, "Meg" is played by Robert Picardo. The bust retains residual adhesive spots on the crown of the head where a wig was likely affixed. Handwritten on the interior core, "Original Prototype (Legend)". In very good production used condition.
