How the Grinch Stole Christmas – Jim Carrey “Grinch” FX Bust by Rick Bake

An extraordinary original character effects bust of Jim Carrey’s “Grinch”, created by Academy Award-winning makeup master Rick Baker and his team at Cinovation Studios for Ron Howard’s Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). This life-sized cast of the Grinch’s head was produced in rigid polyfoam from the original production mold sculpted by Baker’s crew, capturing every exaggerated wrinkle and mischievous detail of the character’s design. The mouth section of this bust has been precisely sheared away, as it was utilized as a master mold for creating prosthetic facial appliances, specifically for the memorable scene in which the Grinch uses his lips as a suction cup to remove a pane of glass in Whoville. The surface features the handwritten production note “Who Vinile Grinch” across the mouth plane, marking it as an authentic studio effects reference piece. Measuring approximately 12.75" x 9.5" x 6.5", the bust remains an impressive testament to the craftsmanship behind one of cinema’s most iconic makeup transformations. Rick Baker’s groundbreaking prosthetic work on the film earned him the Academy Award for Best Makeup, solidifying this piece’s place in Hollywood effects history.
