Creature: SSE or Color?

which version do u guys like better and why?
i'm leaning towards color but that ES on the SSE is nice. what do each usually go for anyway?
thanks

Personally I like the SSE better. I just like the way it looks, not that the colored version looks bad. You can't really go wrong with either. There was a thread around here somewhere in which I posted comparison pics. You should try and find it. It'll give you a good comparison.

I said this before in the other thread, but I have both and I prefer the color version. It's probably my favorite of the Universal Monsters figures. Another Oluf masterpiece. You can't go wrong with either one.

I'm all for the color versions of figures... sure they aren't really screen accurate, but its what they would have looked like. Also aren't the color versions the first ones released... I'd rather have the first version of a figure than the second pretty much anytime.

I just started my UM collection, but it's color all the way for me. I just think they look more alive on my shelf and realism is why I love 12 inch figures.

I couldn't find the other thread but here are the thumbnails of the pictures I posted...

thanks Fritz! those pics help alot.

Silver Screen because it only cost me $15.00. :chew

SSE is nice but, I prefer Color version. The paintjob on the color one is perfect !

how the hell did u get an SSE for $15?! i know the colors usually go for $100-125 or so, but what is the going rate for an SSE? thanks

I got it from some guy named Bob back in 2004. Gave him a Palisades Tour Animal for it also.

I have no idea how much it goes for now.

I have two of the color version-- I have little interest in the SSE version. Both of mine are still in the box-- I don't have the heart to take 'em out!

Got the color version; he's great, and really seems to like my wife's Cy-Girls(especially Sky)...PS

I have 2 of the color Creatures, and 1 SSE, all still in the box. I ordered 2 color versions with the intention of opening one, but never got around to it. Now, I'm not sure I could open it, given the $$ it commands! Seriously, though, I will eventually open one of them , along with all the other 1/6 Uni Monsters ( I have 'em all except the RARE RARE RAER SSE Son of Frankentein). I hope to display them all in cabinets at some point.
In a related story, I also bought the 4 Sideshow Exclusive Platoon figures ( Rhah, King, Lerner & O'Neill) for the $50-60 dollars each they originally retailed for, but never opened them either!

cool. thanks for the replies. anyone know what the SSE creeth sells for nowadays?

Personally I like color. Here is my creature that I was finally
able to get. He is still in the box but will be displayed soon.
I have to put up links because for the life of me pics no
longer show up when I try to add them.

Green one looks the best but I would take the SSE one because it is so rare...By the way, Oluf has promise to put some on ebay very soon for less than 100$..Color and SSE !!!! Watch for his auctions !!!

He put those other 2 of each out about 10 days ago, they're all gone now as far as I know. I think he sold 8 of each. Maybe he has more...
