It went for $1500... check out those choppers in the head close-up:

Now I know what my dog is barking at in the alley near the trashcans at 2
AM.

That's pretty impressive. Do you think that it's edible?

I wonder how it tastes.

Cordially,

You'd need a few liters of tartar sauce.

I've got to give the artist an A for presentation, although imagination
only rates a B (lacks originality) and execution is at best a C-minus.

The eventual exhibitor will need to keep inquisitive little fingers
away from the latex skin.

Some serious anatomical paradoxes will prevent it from ever being taken
seriously except by the most gullible 'true-believers.'

Somehow I don't think that Capt. Nighbat would be in love with "that".

I've been trying to warn the Captain and Bert about their romantic
notions. They admit they are descended from dolphins!


But hey! Whatever floats your boat!

Whatever "that" was, it looked more like something leftover from Jeepers
Creepers III, than a decendent from a dolphin.

I know that it costs a lot of money to make such theatrical props.

I could imagine that the $1,500 which was 'paid' for it was a steal!

This is quite interesting Officers report on your findings of
this specimen. Is it fake and a movie prop placed to confuse the lay or
dummy made in the likeness of a creature from a B movie? The Grays are
noted for being ugly and extremely alien in appearance, compare for any
known noted reverence appearance attributes. This is definitely not a
net reported Sean due to the exemplified dorsal fin and fish like
appearance. The Seans are reported more beautiful and having more human
like features evolved then the reported menacing terrifying Grays as
displayed by this presented creature.

carry on,
the nightbat
