it is by turns, both fantastic and disturbing….because it IS 'alien'….in some ways and familiar in others…

Think about it…IF evolutionary processes have SIMILAR..(but not TOTALLY) conditions to 'work with'….wouldn't some creatures (or parts of them), seem 'similar'…such as the almost 'human' eyes of some octopi???

Who's to say that particular species ISN'T 'intelligent'…or even 'cognizant'??? It has manipulative organs/tentacles, has 'eyes' (sensors to gather information about it's environment)…and while I don't know how much 'hydrogen' can be in an atmosphere and still 'breathable' to humans/and non-flamable amounts??? (alien Hindenbergs, although a hydrogen-excreting species…that uses 'waste-gase' or 'methane' or cow-poots, could work???)

'Intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded our Earth with envious eyes (or eye-spots or stalks?)'……

'Slish em if ya got em!!!!' (yes, I'm ordering a few!)

The first miniature in our new RPE exclusive sculpts range is the Skyphozoan - a multi-part xeno kit.

Skyphozoan from RPE

The kit consists of a body, carapace, tail, two claw tentacles, and two sucker/nozzle tentacles. The tentacles are thin enough to be easily bendable, so every kit can be assembled in a different pose. They can also be cut shorter for more variation. We will make the tentacles available separately for anyone wishing to convert even further.

Here it is pictured with a 28mm figure for scale:

We will be offering further variants with different carapace options and tentacles - such as a hive queen option or heavier bio-weapon options - let us know what you would like to see.
