Gray Alien Body Prop - A Great Halloween Decoration

My dad loves anything that involves aliens. Whether it be books, documentary's, clothing, or props; he loves them. A few summers ago while visiting my uncle in the city he had something special for me to bring back home. He initially gave it to me, but I knew just the fella that would adore it.

It was a Gray Alien Body Prop. This little gray alien standing up measures in at 4 feet tall. The moment I saw him perched up on a chair in my uncles apartment, I wanted him. He was made of rubber latex, and was foam filled, however his limbs had bendable metal wires inside so I was able to position him the way I wanted. Even his fingers included the wire, so I was able to give people the middle finger, or have him hold small light objects.

The photo I have included does not really do him justice. When you are up close you will see how much time and effort went into painting him and making him look realistic. His body although is mainly gray comes colored with veins, and green vein areas on his head and face.

His eyes are black, and are oval shaped. His ribs are visible looking, and he has no belly button, breast or private parts, so he/she is able to be left out naked. However what's cool is that you can dress it up. He is able to fit into clothes that would fit a 3 or 4 year old child. So if you want you can be extra bizarre and dress him up. You can add a wig or a hat and leave him at your front window for visitors to see.

Quality:

I have had this alien for quite some time now, and so far the rubber latex has withstood being bent around, and stored out open in the basement when Halloween is over. Even in the moist basement atmosphere the Gray Alien Body is still in perfect condition(only he smells a little musty now). His paint has never peeled, and his wiring can still be bent.

Where did my uncle get him though?

This is still a mystery. I assume he picked him up at a local Halloween shop a few blocks from his home, although I never bothered to ask.
