This is a surprising headline for anyone who remembers the huge fire they had in '05:
"Curses, Gromit! Fire destroys animation firm's history on eve of box office triumph"
I only wish there were more pieces involving one of my favorite villains; Feathers McGraw.

Might be a dumb question but are they actually made of clay?
some are
> Feathers McGraw’s body, including his wicked flippers, is made of clay, crafted over a fully jointed internal metal armature. The red glove he famously wears as a remarkably effective disguise — one that somehow seems to fool Wallace every time — is made of silicone. His eyes are glass pins, while his beak is fast-cast resin. The tea-stained mug he grips is resin. He comes displayed on a wooden base.
'Morph' mesmerised me as a child in the 70s
> All the sets and figures from the new Wallace and Gromit film are safe because they are being exhibited elsewhere in Bristol.
That looks to be what's being auctioned.
