Here is a replica of a scary one-legged alien creature I came across in that is in my collection. Wait ......this is actually a plastic pick-type device that came along with many Signature automotive diecasts and helped allow one to open up various model features, like the doors, hood and trunk.

Cool device. I'll bet I have a zillion of the Franklin Mint versions. They have the model description printed on the side of them.

Mike, since you're from Illinois, I know that you know that's really a Tully Monster.
