Making of the Jumping Brain resin toy sculpture

Fun Flickr sets showing the making of a cute sculpture called The Jumping Brain.

The Jumping Brain is a limited edition toy created by artist Emilio Garcia that is a detailed plastic model of the brain, with, erm... webbed feat.

It comes in traditional lab demo gray, as well as red, green and blue and even has its own MySpace page.

This looks almost exactly like the Intellect Devourer from the old Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual.

OMG!!!

That's no cute sculpture . . ..

That's an Intellect Devourer!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!

-abs does occasionally consider that he might just possibly play too much D&D and as such blurs his line between reality and gaming . . .. which theory is almost always promptly discarded in favor of more gaming

#1 - Yeah, I was wondering what was up with the obscure D&D monster... though the feet are shaped slightly differantly than most images of the ID.

Absimiliard, you took the reaction right out of my brain.

(Hey! Who's the intellect devourer now, huh?)

Thank god I'm not the only one who saw this and thought "Intellect Devourer."

For some reason it reminds me of a talking pet from star control.
