I'm doing this on the PS Twitter account (https://twitter.com/Plaidstallions) as a prelude to counting down to Halloween. Thought it would be fun to cut and paste it here every day as well:

Somewhat, not really my "end all be all" piece but the creature is the prom queen with most collectors. I was lucky enough to find mine for exactly what I wanted to pay for it in a buy it now. It wouldn't have happened other wise.

What a great thread, I'm still in the hunt for my ultimate holy grail.. the AHI Creature Water Gun

Maybe I'll get lucky and find it at a garage sale.... not going to hold my breath on that one though.

I remain hopeful to get that magical "find for the price I am willing to pay" moment that will bring a Creature into my collection. Been close a couple of times.

The guy I bought this creech from got it in a hidden auction for $100.

I have been searching for one of those for over 10 years now.....obviously with no luck!!!

I never noticed they use the term "Famous Monsters" in the text at the bottom of the package. Intentional nod to the magazine?
