Creature From The Black Lagoon PF up for Pre-order!!!!!!!!!!

[wax murderer]

"Frankly the little Aurora snap together model from the 70's was just as dynamic." You mean this one?

For many years, my favorite model of the Creature( I'm lucky enough to have 2 of them).Still a great pose...
Now,my personal vote for the best swimming model is this one...

This is the 1/25 Geometric's version. As to the PF...

Look vaguely familiar? This is the Horizon kit, shot from a low angle. As I said before,'steal from the best'...

And this,again IMHO is the best...PS

That 2nd picture is a great pose..

Here are a few more of the Geo Creature...

It's really amazing how nice this little guy is.While the sculpt is not "movie accurate", it's extremely close for it's size(it's under 4"long!) and so dynamic and natural looking that even I, a total Creature geek, have no problems with it(this from a guy whose considering trying to do a movie accurate Ricoh sculpt for the small Aurora kit). Pity that Geometrics went out of business, though these little guys do show up on E-bay occasionally...PS

Low Quantity Alert!

I really wish that they would give us a slight hint about a possible SSE of this PF

 

[creecher]

The Creature from the Black Lagoon has the low quantity alert up. Can someone explain why, when the edition size is still TBA.

 

[dr2red]

I just canceled mine, It is a great PF but since I have the 12 inch I will
do with out. Good luck to whomever is on the waitlist.

 

[Toastybuffoon]

I ordered 2 of these. One for me and one for a fellow co-worker. I'll be cancelling his tonight as he has decided he won't have the funds for it. Hope someone here gets converted. I can't wait to get mine. This will be my first Universal Monsters PF figure.

:emperor I think its really cool, I love that film.sad that Ben Chapman just died. long live the creature!!!!!!!!!!!!1View attachment 5538

 

[creecher]

I decided to cancel my Creature because the distributor here has guaranteed they will get it in and put one aside for me. So I save a heap on shipping. Woot. When I cancelled it it said 'processing'. I didn't even notice anything in the newsletter. Looks like it will be here soon, or is it just that I don't order enough to know better?

 

[The Mike]

I had to cancel this one and it hurt....seriously....I loved this piece. I'm hoping that an SSE will go up for B&W Friday or even Spooktacular and I can go back and get one then.

 

[Anton Phibes]

Well, I canceled my order from Sideshow, but only because a local dealer is going to save me shipping, taxes, and give me 10% off to buy it from him. So, that's a savings of around $100. Every little bit helps since the US economy is in the toilet. So, I am sure you guys that get yours straight from SSC will get yours first. Post plenty of pics when you do. Especially if there are any problem areas to look for. Thanks.

 

[zoid2323]

Sounds like a good decision Anton Phibes.

 

[Punchy]

Is this one releasing in April still? I haven't seen any 30 day info in the newsletter yet, and March is about over. Can't wait for this one.

 

[Kabukiman]

I haven't seen any 30 day info in the newsletter yet...

I don't have an answer to your question, but the 'coming in the next 30 days' notice doesn't seem to be updated that much anymore.

Well, I'm glad it's pushed out a bit, but I always worry when I see "...In order to ensure that you receive the highest quality Sideshow Collectible possible, we have increased quality control procedures for this highly detailed piece to assure your complete satisfaction...".

Hopefully the "increased quality control procedures" means the final product will match the prototype photos, and we will never notice what caused the delay. I should be getting mine closer to June now since I ordered from a vendor.

yeah that is kinda scary.
Esp when so close to the apparent ship date.
Seems like the majority should already be thru manufacturing to make an early April ship ...

 

[Anton Phibes]

Gives me more time to save some extra $$$$$$$$$$. Also, for others to get theirs, post pics and show me any defects to look out for.
