Agent Smith life size puppet figure

Agent Smith life size puppet figure fully costumed created for The Matrix Reloaded.

This super-villain from The Matrix Reloaded is hyper-realistic figure stands a full 6 ft. 3 in. tall. Dressed in black suit with matching jacket and pants, white dress shirt, black necktie with metal tie clip, black polishable loafers and signature dark sunglasses.

Created for the scene during the "Agent Smith" vs. "Neo" fight in the rain when replicated "Agent Smith's" line both sides of the street, watching the event. Actors in "Smith" makeup would stand between two life-size puppets, operating the heads of each flanking puppet, providing the illusion that the whole street was lined with living "Agent Smiths". The head and hands of the figure are cast in silicone with highly detailed and life-like hand-painting, painted blue eyes (concealed by glasses) and embedded hair and eyebrows.

The body form of the figure is a hollow mannequin with open back, accessed through an 18 in. slit in the suit jacket. An 11 in. aluminum post extends from the figure's head, through the neck of the body, into the cavity of the mannequin, by which the head can be puppeted to turn from side to side and to nod. The figure is in good condition, having been carefully archived by the studio.
