I finally got my big Creature pinball decal hung up after spending years in a tube in the closet. Displayed with the top decal and some other Creature pinball stuff.

Nice. How about the complete pinball machine?

If I had $5,000 for a PB machine (that I don't know how to play), I'd get the 6' Mark Alfrey "Creature" statue, instead. ;D

I'll try this myself the next time my wife tells me our home needs more greenery.
A really beautiful piece of art.

Here's a pic of the fabulous
Creature from the Black Lagoon pinball game Bally issued late in 1992:

Here's a close-up of the machine's back glass:

And here's a close-up of the hologram the machine features:

I still believe that these machines are the holy grail for most every committed Creature collector.

Better yet splurge on the whole pinball machine!

I own 3 monster-related pins: Elvira & the Party Monsters (Bally 1989), Creature from the Black Lagoon (Midway/Bally 1982), and Monster Bash (Williams 1998), so know a bit about them. Of the 3, Monster Bash is the most fun to play and prominently includes the Creature (for Creature fans). Originally, 7,841 total Creature machines were produced as compared to 3,361 Monster Bash machines so Creature was a bit easier to obtain. But, Monster Bash has been recently reissued by Stern Pinball of Illinois so it's easier to find now (and perhaps much better electronically).
Either machine is worth having for UniMonster fans (if in the market for a pinball machine).
Here are some pictures of the Monster Bash pinball machine that Williams released in July 1998:

I own 3 monster-related pins:
All I have is the (previously posted) parts from the Creature pin and a Creature fig. from the Monster Bash pin. :( That's alright, I don't have room for a full size pinball machine (he rationalized).
Monster bash is one of my favorite pins to play as well. Over the years I've considered buying that, or the Creature machine. Like many, the space the machines require and the maintenance have put a halt to purchasing. I do play whenever I have an opportunity; the Las Vegas Pinball museum is cool because they have both the Bash and the Creature. Whenever I'm in that neck of the woods I stop in for a couple hours.
