You know this scene happens so fast I don't remember the thing having a face when it jumped out of the petri dish.

I don't think it had a face.
It's been a while since I've watched it but I think only gooey liquid popped up...
It may be a prop that was made but never actually used in the film.

I own the DVD so I'll have to pop it in and see for sure.

EDIT: I just watched that scene and it does appear to be that prop.

Here's a screenshot:

You'd think for a $3499 opening bid they could take better pictures.

Seriously badass. No way I'd pay that much for it, though.
