Title: Creature from the Black Lagoon bust ID help needed
Post by: landocolt45 on October 05, 2023, 12:51:35 PM
Does anyone know what company made this? The seller doesn't remember the details.
Thank you

If it's resin, it's probably a fan made thing. It's not a licensed piece, or it would be marked.

Resin Model Kit. Possibly by Dark Carnival/Needful Things. They also did a Werewolf of London.

It also bears more than a passing resemblance to this one by Alternative Images, but the bottom and the bib are too large, so I am thinking more Dark Carnival. But I could be wrong altogether.

Have you tried asking at the clubhouse?

Don't they put their brand on their products?

I honestly cannot remember, Mike. I used to be really up on everything garage kit, but my old gray matter ain't what she used ta be.

It's definitely a recast of the original land mask.  I recall seeing these on feebay but I don't recall who was selling them.

KreatureKid used to frequent these halls, but I haven't seen him around lately. He could probably tell us for certain who produced it. CFTBL is his passion.

There was a company that sold these built up with the
glow paint years ago, I just can't remember the name.

Either their moniker wasn't very memorable, or we all need to be taking Memory Boost. ;D

Yes. Maybe 8-9 years ago? I remember the head and the glow.
