At the climax of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade™, the villainous Walter Donovan drinks from the false grail and meets his demise, rapidly aging before the audience’s eyes!
To achieve this amazing pre-cgi effect, the wizards at ILM used a mix of animatronics, stop-motion and practical puppetry. The original prop animatronic heads are still in the prop archives and our team had extensive hands-on access to those incredible artifacts. Using the “stage two” head prop as our inspiration, we’ve developed and posed this new life-sized bust to capture that shocking moment in the film.
Part of the Regal Robot Archive Collection, this Donovan’s Demise Prop Replica Bust is a faithful, life-sized interpretation of that original prop. More than just a statue, this premium lineage replica was high-resolution laser-scanned off the original artifact at the prop archives.
As a Signature Edition, each bust includes a metal plaque that’s been hand-signed by actor Julian Glover, who played Donovan in the film. This distinctive, limited edition is numbered at just 89 pieces, so when it’s available to order, don’t delay!
At 1:1 scale, the bust is over 15 1/2″ tall. Each is crafted in our New York studio with layers of hand and airbrush paint, realistic teeth and hand-applied hair. For presentation, the resin bust also includes a bit of sculpted collar with his deteriorating jacket, shirt and tie, all of which have sandy dust applied to reinforce the aging effect. A stained American hardwood base completes the display and gives this bust a beautiful presentation that matches our other Indiana Jones Archive Collection replicas.
Production is currently underway and paid-in-full orders for these replicas will begin shipping in just a few weeks. Payment plan orders will ship according to our production schedule at the time the plan is completed.
Ships hand-packed in a large brown kraft box with die-cut foam insert.
