Clear off a radi­a­tor – a lov­ing­ly craft­ed mod­el of the infa­mous alien tot can now be yours to own.

The mutant baby seen in David Lynch’s 1977 cult clas­sic Eraser­head is now avail­able to pur­chase through eBay through a select cou­ple of sell­ers. Fans of Eraser­head will be quick to notice and wince at how real the baby looks. The genius cre­ator Michael Per­ry has released sev­er­al ver­sions of the baby, if you want to splash the cash in favour of an even more hor­ri­fy­ing ver­sion. This eerie cre­ation is even glossed with a sil­i­cone wash to make the baby have a nat­ur­al shine, just in case you were won­der­ing. How­ev­er, if the baby is not in your price range, or under­stand­ably, not to your taste – then don’t wor­ry. There are sev­er­al Lynch relat­ed goods which are for sale, such as The Secret His­to­ry of Twin Peaks or a gor­geous Mul­hol­land Dri­ve poster avail­able on Etsy.
