Creature is supposed to be a one and done, not the start of a series.

Which does have me wondering what we might expect from Trick or Treat Studios...

I hope someone does, although I have read that the Universal licensing is
one of the most expensive.

I wanted the black and white version but the shades of the grey on the head grey much lighter than on the torso. It bothers me.

It should bother you. It looked terrible. That's why I went with the color version.

This figure looks pretty awesome regardless... look forward to actually seeing in hand to compare him to other 1/6 in terms of size

The color version is afflicted with the same thing looks like. They went a little too heavy with the dark grey/black around the scales. Maybe the actual production figures will look better in-hand?

I think this figure looks awesome and of course we can't judge till we see a production piece. I'm sure Mondo won't disappoint

Ordered both versions. Hands down my favorite Universal Monster.

I like the invisible man more. But I have him already. Looks amazing in 1/6

I'm just thrilled we're getting proper 1/6 Uni Monsters again. Long live the classics!

The color one is sold out on Mondo's website, but both are due ship next month. Crossing fingers...

Really? I can't imagine them coming out next month. April, maybe. Chinese New Year is going to pretty much delay everything a month or more like it does every year. :ohbfrank:

I would be so happy if someone were to do a new 1/6 Glenn Strange Frankenstein.

Got an update from Mondo today: pushed back until March now. We shall see if that holds.

Joda · Mar 24, 2021

I just received a shipping notification for my MONDO 1/6-scale Creature from the Black Lagoon.

(Please be good, please be good, please be good. :pray:

Congrats man, looking forward to a review!

D'oh! · Mar 25, 2021

Got my shipping notice as well! Should be here early next week.

hulk181 · Mar 26, 2021

Just received my shipping notice for both the color and B&W versions to arrive tomorrow. I live in Texas so Mondo’s stuff gets to me quickly.

Joda · Mar 28, 2021

Well, he's here. https://twitter.com/astro_toaster/status/1376252852436267008

Got mine today! He is pretty awesome! Box is a magnetic window flap as well! I think the production paint scheme is better than pre production pictures. Joints are nice and tight and the figure itself is very heavy and substantial feeling. All in all great figure!
