Well, not really, but I went to GENTLE GIANT, the Toy comapny/ source of all toy and mask scanning!

Here is Taylor White, Jim  (I'm not Spielberg) Mcpherson. One of the most talented sculptors I know and Moi.



A life scanned Harryhausen. (just his head, actually. The clothes were sculpted)



And a life size Medusa scanned from Ray's original sculpture.

Wow Dan! That's something! Incredible life size sculpts. I also spotted a very cool-looking Sulley from Monsters Inc. in the background. The things dreams are made of. Thanks for sharing that.

Really cool pics, Dan.  Thanks for sharing them.

OK, here's the plan: Friday night we back up a cargo van to their loading dock.  Dan--you distract the guards.  Terry--you break in the door.  I'll get a cart and start loading the stuff on the truck.  Dibs on Medusa.

 Nice pics Dan.  Medusa's looking pretty HOT!!

Dan, I see you looked at the Medusa and turned to stone!

I once saw Elvira naked and the same thing happened to me.

;D :D ;D
That medusa is the coolest!  That is one of the first movie monsters that I remember being really scared of as a little kid.  That scene where you see her reflection in the shield...that scared the crap out of me!

Uh, Max. If you once saw Elvira naked, I'm sure something turned to stone alright. Hard as a rock they say. Did you have to change your bedsheets the following morning? Dreams are like that sometimes. ;D
