SD Studios presents Ceti Eel from Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan.
Ceti Eels are small non-sapient creatures native to the deserts of planet Ceti Alpha V. According to Khan Noonien Singh, the Ceti Eel is the last indigenous lifeform on the planet. Once a habitable M-class world, Ceti Alpha V had its climate brutally altered following the destruction of the nearby planet Ceti Alpha VI, which shifted Ceti Alpha V's orbit.
A Ceti Eel has its body protected by a thick exoskeleton. They incubate their larvae between the plates of their jointed carapace. As adults, they are free-living burrowing creatures that spend most of the time hidden under the desert's sands. The larvae, however, are parasitoids. Once the larva leaves the protection of its parent's carapace, it will crawl into the ear of a larger being and burrow into the brain, causing the host severe pain, which leads to insanity and eventually death. As a side effect, it also makes the host extremely susceptible to suggestion.
This replica is completely finished and ready to display. The casting is a first generation pull off an original, screen-used master pattern!
SD Studios verified the provenance and vetted the source carefully, so we know this is the real deal.
Please note that each replica is hand-painted, so there will be some minor variation in the final finish/colors, but not much.
This is probably bigger that you might have thought. She measures in at 10 3/4 inches long by about 4 1/2 inches wide. She is a big girl!
The eyes and mouth are done in colored translucent epoxy and they have even added clear acrylic "goo" to the lobes where the larvae were removed. So this matches the screen-used filming model exactly!
Each eel replica comes complete with a metal display frame, name plate, and a bag of “Ceti Sand” to complete the display as shown.
Made in the USA by SD Studios Ltd.

Most sixth scale figures come double-boxed automatically when purchased through Secret Compass! Most other dealers will slap a label right on the cardboard shipper and ship that way with no protection. Secret Compass recognizes the value in your collectible figure and we always double-box the cardboard shipper, which comes fresh out of a master case so it shows no sign of shipping before it ships to you.
Because this item still in production, we do not know the final weight or dimensions, or even how many boxes there will be. Therefore, we cannot give you an accurate quote for shipping. Actual shipping rates will be determined when the item is in stock, and will be reflected on your final invoice.
