That interdimensional being's a real small guy...




My Halloween mantle in all its glory.

(Sorry if I mess up your f-list... The picture is too much fun for a tiny space! Or maybe I am just too excited about it.)

The skull is actually really nice and clear... But looking at it made me wonder, if the entire skull including the brain space is the not-really-crystalline material, would it have really had the seams from where the plates grew together? You'd think a fully psychic being would have just sort of... formed together.

I dunno, seeing the Bodies exhibit a month ago has made me wary of bone seams. I used to think they were cool, and now I can't stop thinking about that expanded skull and just BLEEEEGH.

Cool Halloween set up. :)

Hmmm, that's smaller than I though it would be... Still looks pretty cool though.

Yeah, me too! But the quality of it is really nice so I'm not too upset. =)

It's scaled to repel regular-sized ants.

Apparently there are actually ants that big (or pretty close, in comparison). So, I really hope I never see any.

"Siafu" is the term he uses in reference to them, which people tell me is the real term for them.

Except that siafu live in Africa, not the Amazon. Army ants live in the Amazon. Both are pretty huge, but not as big as in the movie.

It's fiction, lol.

Also in the first script the skull was supposed to make things grow unnaturally large, which is why both the snake and the ants were so large, so presumably he mistook them for a different type of siafu or whatever.
