CGI Stand-Ins

Some Western miniatures from the first film. Archived to YourProps.

Mayan Miniature Figures

Description: "A newly recruited night security guard at the Museum of Natural History discovers that an ancient curse causes the animals and exhibits on display to come to life and wreak havoc. From the 2006 film Night at the Museum, these figures were used in “The Hall of Miniatures” exhibit in the Museum’s Mayan diorama display. As the inhabitants of the diorama, the miniature people magically come to life at night and can be seen in the foreground. The Mayans can been seen multiple times including when Jedediah the miniature cowboy and his men capture Larry (Ben Stiller) after he is hit by miniature darts fired by the miniature figurines from the Mayan diorama. The beautifully detailed and hand painted figures are constructed of a resin type material with a protruding pin to the base for ease of secure placement on set while the temple style display was made to give the feeling of the diorama seen on screen."

Smithsonian Hourglass Model Miniature

Description: "Once the night guard at the Museum of Natural History, Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is now a successful purveyor of infomercial products. Soon after learning that his museum friends have been shipped to the Smithsonian Institution, Larry receives a distress call from Jedediah, who warns him that four of history’s greatest villains have come to life and are planning to take over the Smithsonian first, then the world. This is the wooden Smithsonian hourglass with a hand painted Jedediah model miniature from the 2009 film, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. When the tablet fails to open the Gate of the Underworld, Kahmunrah traps Jedediah in an hourglass and gives Larry one hour to decipher the tablet’s combination."

Albert Einstein Bobblehead

Description: "Security guard Larry Daley infiltrates the Smithsonian Institution in order to rescue Jedediah and Octavius, who have been shipped to the museum by mistake. From the 2009 film Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, this is the main hero Albert Einstein Bobblehead seen in the film. Obtained from the original creater/designer, they were gifted it after production for all the work done during the Bobblehead scene. In the film, there are plastic bobbleheads of Albert Einstein that are on display behind glass at the Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. and Larry Daley had to look for them in order to solve the mystery of the Egyptian Tablet for Kahmunrah."

Tablet of Ahkmenrah

Description: "From the 2009 film Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and the sequel to the 2006 adventure comedy film Night at the Museum, this is the Tablet of Ahkmenrah. The American Museum of Natural History is closed for upgrades and renovations, and some of the museum pieces are being replaced by interactive holograms due to budget costs. The actual exhibits are due to be moved to the Federal Archives at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. On the last night, Larry reconnects with his museum exhibit friends including Theodore Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Rexy the Tyrannosaurus Skeleton, and Dexter the Capuchin Monkey and finds out that several exhibits, including Theodore, Rexy, The Easter Island Head, and good Pharaoh Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek) and his Tablet are not moving to the Smithsonian Institution. Without the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, the other exhibits will no longer be animated, something which Teddy has not told them so they can enjoy their last night. Along with being used on Battle of the Smithsonian, the tablet was loaned back to the production to be used on the 2014 sequel Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb."
