CP Models sells this new miniature in 28 mm a rather special alien that comes with six tentacles in order to personalize it.

Cool! Some of those plant creatures look suspiciously like something that tried to eat Tom Baker, back in the 70s.

Didn't that appear in an episode of Space 1999.

Anybody remember that movie Ray Bradbury scripted about the aliens who ad crashed on Earth and were trying to rebuild their spaceship before humans fund out about them?

I could use a few of these.

That does ring a bell; can't recall the title, though.

Those plant-monsters in Space 1999 scared the hell out of me as a kid. Didn't they create some hypnotic effect to appear human, or shapeshift so they could replicate crewmembers? That was the really horrifying part.
These figures would be a good match.

Looks like it was "The Bringers of Wonder"

Good lord, there they are! The cyclopean towers of melting vegetable monstrosity that plagued my dreams. Aaargh!

Actually, thanks for that. It was cool to see them again and have it confirmed that they really were quite repulsive and creepy.

Nothing a paring knife, cast iron skillet, and a bottle of Extra Virgin Olive oil cannot handle.

That's a very big skillet! Cook mine till it's nice and tender, please: no wrigglnig tendrils!
