Not too long ago I threw out a toy that looked just like that…actually I think that’s it, have you been dumpster diving lately? I remember buying it at the dollar store here in Washington. I know for a fact that toy’s the same. It’s suppose to be a toy of a werewolf and it’s one of those stretchy, flexible toys that are squishy, and sticky and smell like bad plastic. In the picture, the toy looks like its torso-less but I remember that it has green pants on, and you can tell that the eyes are definitely painted on. Sorry about my poor typing skills.

I’m quite sure I saw this very same photo a few years ago.

A small point…

If we deal with a clear photo of a small cryptid and the image doesn’t look quite real, it looks fake or toylike, I suggest that we should not automatically discount it on that basis. I have seen various creatures at the zoo or reptile house that don’t seem real. Once I saw a newborn squirrel on the sidewalk and mistook it for a child’s plastic toy, until it moved.

This photo has been floating around the Middle East for at least 15 years. I know because 15 years ago I was working as an English teacher in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Some students insisted that a “jinn” had been phtographed in a cave in the desert outside of the city, and their proof was this very same photo.

Hey guys… Long time reader, but first time posting… while they photos looks extremely like the Aye-Aye, it is not the Aye-Aye, simply because the Aye-Aye is famous for its extremely long index fingers which it uses to poke around in tree holes searching for bugs. While the face maybe an Aye-Aye, the hands have defiantly been tampered with on Photoshop, and then we must ask the question, why tamper with a photo if your not hiding anything, just my piece thanks for listening.

@ twas brillig: I believe in thoughtforms, and that ain’t no thoughtform. It’s clearly photoshopped, and poorly done at that.

@ Loren: I didn’t mean to shoot the messenger, if that’s what it looked like I was doing. I know you post pics and stuff here for our benefit, whether you believe them to be authentic or not. I just wasn’t sure whether you were looking for a serious discussion of its authenticity or not.

The aye-aye is a possibility, but the ears don’t quite match up, the eyes look photoshopped, and that thing looks like it’s grinning.
It may be just a model.

I tend to agree with others—it does look photoshopped—although one can never know.
I think the “aye-aye” theory looks promising and needs to be investigated further. I agree that fairies and related beings do exist, though.

that aye aye looks very close to those images.
