Iconic puppets including Wallace & Gromit feature in an auction celebrating creator Aardman's 50th anniversary.
The Bristol-based company is offering more than 220 lots spanning the studio's 50-year history, including pieces from nearly every Aardman production.
Character puppets also include Shaun the Sheep, Morph and Feathers McGraw, the villainous penguin who first appeared in the film "The Wrong Trousers."
Stephen Lane, Propstore CEO, said: "Propstore is delighted to partner with Aardman on this landmark auction celebrating the studio's 50th anniversary.
"The collection traces Aardman's remarkable creative history, from original Morph and Chas models made by Peter Lord to instantly recognizable characters including Wallace, Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Feathers McGraw.
"These puppets hold a special place in the hearts of generations of fans, and with every lot starting at £100, we're excited to offer collectors around the world the chance to own a piece of Aardman history."
Aardman was co-founded in 1976 by Peter Lord and David Sproxton, who began making animated shorts while still at school before establishing the Bristol studio that would go on to create global hits such as "Wallace & Gromit," "Chicken Run" and "Shaun the Sheep."
The online auction will conclude with a live event on Sept. 24.
