$3500 for a 'The Thing' prop?

[Neil]

Surely no one is going to spend that?

I had one of these back in the 90s

it didnt cost as much then by far
plus thats when i owned 3 comic book stores
and got it at wholesale with no tax.

I gave it to a friend of mine who bought a house
as a house warming gift.
He was a big fan.

and it disturbed everyone who came over...

yeah but Neil that is way too overpriced for that thing.

They never looked like that (did they)? Looks like it's made of ventilation duct piping?

I don't remember that thing. I definitely wouldn't pay 3 grand for it.

Now....if it were the spider-head thing or the messed up dog, I would consider it...

No Neil the one i had was a lot better

the tail alone was well over 6 feet
and the alien was just under 8 feet
and it wasnt on a base.

it was really really disturbing

my mom wouldn't even go into the room it was in.

it was always "what is wrong with you?, why would you
want something so ugly?, where did I go wrong?, You used to
be a normal kid..blah, blah, blah"

It looked exactly like from the movie.
this is more like the one i had.

For some reason I've always thought they looked better in Aliens with the glass dome removed...

[slickwilly13]

I do not remember that prop being used during that scene, either.

Oh my God! Someone's put a bid in!

[Neil]

Shows what I know! Went for over $4000 in the end!

Four grand for a latex turd? Jeez, some people got more money than sense. For four grand I'd want that spider-head thingy at least! :D
