Mint Off Card: Mego Creature from the Black Lagoon Review

[RSS]

The Gillman is loose!
We've been granted early access to one of the most talked-about Mego figures of the year, the Creature from the Black Lagoon. We not only de-card the Creature and give you a good look but also compare him to the earlier version released back in 2010.


Also coming this week: Mego Christopher Lee Dracula.

This video is great!! I have the EMCE one, but I never opened it because it looked so nice in the package and it was a bit expensive, so I’m excited to get the Mego version and open it. I already preordered 2 and I’m still haunting Wal-Mart every week to see if I can find one!

Loved the video and really appreciate the breakdown of this version compared to the EMCE version. And nice use of the "oh, one more thing..." at the end. Based on my reaction, you would have thought that was a Marvel post-credit scene.

Really enjoyed the video and the comparison. I have every intention of buying one and turning him into a Sleestak.

[Brown Bear]

Great video! Thanks for posting.

No cool, that it is slightly differant, but also it seemed Mego was taller?

This is the one I am waiting on! I really need to get a few of these for my personal collection of future ReMego Svengoolie theater...

Nice to see the differences this way, thanks!… works for me as a cool variant, but great for those that never got the Creech the first time 'round.

… lots of blood on the next one, yes!

Love the fins! Glad to have this figure!!

looking forward to getting this one in hand. i have 2 on order

I rather find this in the store instead of having to order online, hopefully I will.

For budgetary reasons, I'm planning on sticking with my Diamond/EMCE version, but I'm very happy for those who missed out, or just want another Creature in their collection. If I see this one in the wild, I will probably cave and pick it up. Very nicely done to everyone involved!

But that teaser...oh man! And using that classic poster art for the package...NOW we're talking!!!

Sorry, I‘m not sure who actually did the video but I agree with him and like that it looks like a toy.
