Kill it. Pose it on a rake, and dangle it in front of the camera so it looks like it came from the island of King Kong. Use of 'forced perspective' when taking the picture is required!

Remember "Red on Black, wait now how does that go? red on black no on yellow no wait.. Red on lime, better check your rhyme?? Wait circular eyes, no um, triangle head, um..."
