The Original Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Is Going Up For Auction In LA & You're Invited

I mean, technically you COULD buy him.
Contributor

If you've ever wanted to own the original Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer, there's a Los Angeles auction in November for that.

The original Rudolph and Santa puppets from the stop-motion classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (1964) are being sold in an auction, Profiles in History announced.

And although they are expected to sell for $150,000-$250,000 as a set, you can still get a look at this exclusive auction online.

2 iconic characters available

For a special look into the auction, you can view the official flipbook online, and pretend you're a Hollywood businessman looking to purchase some classic movie puppets for his personal collection.

And if you'd like to register for the auction, to place a bid on one of these characters (because, perhaps, you ARE a Hollywood businessman looking for some new stop-motion characters), you can do that at the official auction site.

The puppets are constructed of wood, leather, yak hair (!!), wire, cloth, and — most importantly — holiday nostalgia.

The Hollywood memorabilia dealer is also selling a gigantic Godzilla head this November, as well as simply a foot.
