I think it should look like the evil possessed goat from "Drag me to Hell" :)

Yes! A chocolate one in case we all get the munchies!  :D

Do you have the figure yet? If so have you figured out a method for
mounting it on your helm?

I'm waiting till i hear back from the seller. i asked what the body was made of and what the measurements of the foot area was.  if it's plastic I think I'll drill some small dowels into the wood it's gonna sit on and gorilla glue them up inside the legs.  that way the legs are strong

Yes that truly is a mythological creation, much like a balanced budget and fair taxes!  :D

That sounds like it would work. If the legs are made of plastic you could also use small machine screws
up into the legs coming up from the botton (helm side) of the wood platform after you drill some pass through holes into the wood platform. That's how I have the griffon on mine held onto the wood platform and those four screws can support the entire weight of the helm. ;)

I sold some things to buy an antique... will post more when it arrives (it was supposed to come yesterday, but is in NY for some reason... it may be held up in customs, as it came from the UK, so I'm biting my nails that nothing is wrong).

Yeah, I was going to ask if it arrived yet. Can't wait to see it!

And it came today! I'll do a full photo shoot, probably tomorrow, and then I'll post more later. For the moment I'll leave it at, "OHMYGODILOVEIT!!!", and I'll leave you all with a brief teaser:
