Is that two of a color version or one each of color and sse?? LOL! I am "spoilt" (as most SS collectors are). I dreamed of something really nice like this for the monsters since childhood. Now that its come about, and I can afford them, I really wanna see a Creech. If Werewolf of London sees the PF treatment I hope someone will order me one because I will probably be unconscious for a few days.

 

[darth dypshyt]

Yeah...If they bring the Creature out in colour + B&W...I would definitely get both, well, maybe not..but, it would be hard to decide which one to get.....But I get where everyone is coming from, this would have to be one of the most anticpated Monster PFs for quite some time, and Sideshow just keeps us waiting.....



and waiting......

If they came out with the Creature in an SSE I'd get that one first because if the 1/6 figure is any indication....the SSE will cost a couple of testicles to go back and get via eBay.

I'll remain patient, but I simply do not understand this delay and yet another event (Spooktacular, no less) without at least an official announcement.

Did anyone ask about this during chat? I didn't get to.

 

[Anton Phibes]

I know all of the chat logs were posted...but there is no way I am going to go through all of that looking for a hint about a possible Creature PF anytime soon. Anyone actually pose the question, or was it hinted at? Maybe they are waiting for the (supposed) re-make of CFTBL that is in the works?

Here is all we got, ironically thanks to Lonnie:


From the October 31st chat with Jared Chapman:

[16:13] < lcummins > Jared, what's taking so long to coordinate the Creature PF? lol
...
[16:14] < Jared_Chapman > lcummins - oh a Creature eh? we're coordinating a trip down to South America to catch one


From the November 2nd chat with Mat Falls:

[15:53] < lcummins > Mat, the Creature PF... we know it's coming, that's been confirmed... is the delay because of the suit? Any hints on how long we will still have to wait?
...
[15:59] < Mat_Falls > Lonnie - Creature PF... I can neither confirm nor deny that we have to make it the best possible representation of the Creature.... EVER!!!

 

[Joranthalus]

I can be patient... Afterall, once i get my hands on the creature i'll only need the invisible man as a PF... after that i have no purpose anymore...

What? No Werewolf of London or Dracula's Daughter? Not that either one will ever get made per se,..... but no interest?

 

[Joranthalus]

Well, sure! But i'd hope we're gonna get a whole series of the "secondary" monsters... But if we get a creature and an invisible man, then my core 7 universals are complete...

All this debate about color or SSE has got me thinking about muddying the waters with a point that no one has brought up that I think bears consideration. Which version of the Creature is the definitive version. Remember, there are several to choose from here. In the original, the 2 suits are not identical; the heads are different, as are the scale patterns. The land suit is, of course, the more iconic by virtue of being more heavily featured in the publicity stills, but the swimming suit is not without it's appeal. Then there is the "Revenge" version, which has substantial differences from the first film's suits as far as the head and coloration are concerned. Not as lifelike as the originals, but still worthy of consideration, I think. Almost every kit or toy that's been produced has been modeled on the original 'Land' suit; the only exceptions have been a couple of bobble-heads based on the 'Water' suit and the Marx figure, which is clearly the 'Revenge' version. Let's consider the options...

the Land suit...

the Water suit

the Revenge suit. As I said, something to muddy the waters...PS

 

[Anton Phibes]

This suggestion will probably get me killed... but they could always make an exclusive version with all the different heads, since the body isn't that much different. We have seen the change o head magnetic thing with Capt. America, Wolverine, Iron man and soon the Thing. But if I had to choose just one...land Creature from the First film.

bump..............

 

[Anton Phibes]

My aquatic gill being sense is tingling. All of these Creature thread bumps must mean somethings amiss. Or it could just be something in the water.

 

[wax murderer]

A little more fun;a nice comparison between Ricoh's and Ben's suits...

Ricoh is on the left; aside from obvious proportional differences, the masks are noticeably different, as are many small details. Still, it works...

Just your imagination... go back to sleep and continue to dream...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........

I hope the swimming pose that we are getting isn't a back stroke pose. While SS would gets points for originality, it would look....silly.
