Garden Yeti

Last night, the Imaginary Foundation presented me with this beautiful gift, "Bigfoot, the Garden Yeti Sculpture." Available from Design Toscano, it stands almost two and a half feet tall and is made from hand-painted resin. My 2.5 year-old-son was slightly scared of the creature at first, but then he cautiously walked up, examined him closely, and finally patted him on the head and said "Nice Bigfoot! Bigfoot is nice!"

Hey... I just saw this in SkyMall when I was flying into NYC last week! Awesome gift!

He looks an awful lot like Harry Henderson.

Give me one that stands 8 feet tall and I'm all in.

Isn't this Sasquatch? I thought the Yeti was in the Himalayas. Bigfoot=Sasquatch. Abominable Snowman=Yeti.

re: #11: They are reporting it as three foot tall and wooden, but in photographs it appears to be the same Big Foot Garden Sculpture.

Um, i'm pretty sure this is Big Foot. We all know that Yeti's are all white and fuzzy and live in the freezer.

Seems to be in the classic Patterson-Gimlin footage pose.

He just needs a half rack of Kokanee beer and he would be complete.

Scientists in the UK who have examined hairs claimed to belong to a yeti in India say that an initial series of tests have proved inconclusive.

A two-feet tall bigfoot seems kind of, erm, small. It should be at least 8 feet. 10 to 12 feet would be even better. And it better have really big feet. :)
