Title: Sideshow 8" Dark Green Translucent Creature
Post by: Mike Scott on May 20, 2013, 10:42:23 PM
Where did this come from? Is it a "test" color or something? I only remember the light green one for sale.

I honestly think that is the light green translucent one, Mike.  Once that sat in the sun for too many hours.

It is a green one that sat in the sun. It belonged to Shawn Murphy (thephantomcreep) during his life and turned color because it sat in the back window of his ex-mother in law's car. I thought about buying it as another keepsake but just couldn't bring myself to do it. On one of my trips back home to visit, I walked into his newly rearranged monster room and spied that almost immediately among the multiple colors of Marx figures etc. He laughed and said "I didn't think it would take you long to see it" and told me how he came by it.

Thanks Jeff and Shannon! Glad I didn't bid on that!  :laugh: I thought about it, but I never bid on something if I don't know what it is. (Not to mention that nobody seemed very interested in it.)
