The Creature From the Black Lagoon 9inch Black & White Variant

June 2013 - Mezco's award-winning design team journeyed deep into the unexplored depths of the Amazon jungle searching for fossils...instead they discovered The Creature! Mezco Toyz brings to life The Creature, from Universal's sci-fi, horror gem, The Creature From The Black Lagoon.

In tribute to the classic film, this Creature variant features a "black and white" paint scheme that perfectly replicates the look of the infamous Creature in his cinematic masterpiece!

This iconic scaled terror from the deep stands 9" tall and captures the intricate detail of the pre-historic gill-man; from his mysterious amphibious eyes, to his claw tipped webbed hands. With 11 points of articulation he'll be able to take out any scientist who dares to come between him and his true love.
