Last year I made a quick prop for the lawn from stuff in my stash based on a cartoon from Para Abnormal. He became Peter Pumpkin the Tricker Treater Eater.
Peter turned out to be a favorite by many in the neighborhood. Knowing he had to return, I hoped to find the time and money this year to remake him from scratch closer to the cartoon. Well, not finding the time or the money I just pushed the gag further using the old prop.
I carved a more menacing mouth, glued on a jewelry display hand from my horde, added ping pong ball eyes inside and sculpted an enhanced stem with Model Magic.
