One of the dolls used in the production of the movie “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” by Spielberg is available for bidding at the Sotheby’s auction house, which believes the sale price could reach $900,000.
The original model of one of the dolls used in the movie “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” could be sold for $900,000, according to the Sotheby’s auction house. Bids can be placed until April 3.
The starting bid for the piece is $500,000. The doll, which is nearly one meter tall, was created by special effects artist Carlo Rambaldi and is part of the “There Are Such Things” lot, along with other iconic pieces from horror, fantasy, and science fiction films.
The model was used in the scene where Elliot (Henry Thomas) finds E.T. inside his closet.
The film “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” was directed by Steven Spielberg and was released in 1982, during that year’s Christmas.
“E.T.” tells the story of Elliot, a child who befriends a being from another planet who needs to return home, while escaping from scientists who want to use him as a test subject.
