Now it has come to reside in the physical plane, and aBlogtoRead has managed to get one of its belt-driven manifestations to test out. Naturally it’s a little less pristine looking than the computer-generated version and, pictured next to a fleshy hand, we can now see just how big the thing is — its crown actually large enough to wear on your head.
