Doctor Who

Kraal (Stuart Fell) head - The Android Invasion

Sold

Description

An original Kraal head used in the production of the long running BBC television science fiction series Doctor Who.

The Kraals were conceived by writer Terry Nation for the 1975 serial The Android Invasion starring Tom Baker as The Doctor. Constructed in foam and latex around an internal frame of wire with material neck section and horse hair detail to the ears and mouth area. This particular head was worn on screen by veteran Doctor Who actor and stuntman Stuart Fell who made over 20 appearances in the show.

The head remains in generally excellent condition for its forty year age with areas of the latex showing signs of cracking with wear to some of the features, notably the eyes and mouth and some damage to the left side of the mask where the latex thins. The extremities of the piece show sides of hardening as is to be expected with this type of construction but overall the piece has survived in generally excellent condition. The head stands approximately 13" high.

A rare example of a memorable monster head from this highly regarded Tom Baker adventure.
