The original E.T. model, used for close-up shots in the iconic 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, is going up for auction at Sotheby's. Expected to fetch between $2-3 million, the model is a complex and meticulously crafted animatronic puppet featuring a detailed skeletal structure and numerous points of articulation that allowed for incredibly realistic movements and expressions. The auction highlights the enduring legacy of E.T. and the incredible craftsmanship that brought the beloved alien to life.
