A collection of Aardman Animations puppets, including characters such as Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep, is being auctioned as part of the studio’s 50th anniversary celebrations. The sale features a large number of items presented for collectors.
The auction includes more than 220 lots, with each lot having an estimated starting bid of £100. Both outlets describe the same general scope of the event and the emphasis on prominent Aardman characters. Details on where the auction is held, the final sale date, or how the lots are specifically described are not provided in the supplied excerpts, and coverage focuses mainly on the scale of the auction and the anniversary context rather than particular provenance or bidding expectations.
