Superman II

An original prop used in the production of Superman II, the 1980 superhero sequel starring Christopher Reeve in the title role.

This miniature is one of a number constructed in various scales by the talented visual effects team for use in flying sequences. For the character of Ursa portrayed by Sarah Douglas this served as the master sculpt from which moulds would be taken to create the flying miniatures in fibreglass resin. The model measures approximatly 7" and is scratch built from clay over a wire armature the figure lacks some details such as the hands and tips of the feet with some material also missing from the rear of the head as one might expect over four decades after the production.

A unique and displayable artefact from this well regarded picture which remains an influential favourite of the superhero genre.
