I've always LOVED the card series from the 60's and the design of the Martians.
While Tim Burton's film is silly at best....I STILL enjoyed seeing the martians and thought the film rendered them beautifully.
I just scored this full sized head ... right out of the production mold for the film!

Thats very cool! Nice score.
I was just thinking yesterday how nice it woudl be to have a really great looking Mars Attacks head... and there it is! Great score!
I hear ya TR!
I always thought...hmmmm, I'll go ahead and get one of the Cinema Secrets masks and repaint it but, it doesn't get any better than right out of the movie mold.

My take exactly. I love Mars Attacks. The gum cards are priceless. The Tim Burton movie is just silly. And that mask of yours Latex Creep rocks big time!
Very nice indeed! That is a definite center piece! Congratulations!
On a nother note, I bought a reproduction set of the original bubble gums cards back when the movie was released. I'd never seen them before and they were great!
The movie? Eh. BUT you gotta admit Tom Jones rocked with It's Not Unusual! ;D
Chuck Jeffers
Very nice score!
