Flying Purple People Eater Novelty Figure

I used to run around singing Flying Purple People Eater like a mad child whenever I heard it as a kid. So I guess you could say I was a big fan of the song. I had NEVER seen a 3D representations until I spotted this piece of joy over at Hake’s this morning. This is not at all how I pictured the monster, but now that I have seen it, I must admit it is perfect.
