Title: New "Creature" Statue from Retro-A-Go-Go
Post by: Mike Scott on January 11, 2024, 04:46:35 PM
They're only taking orders for these for one week. Not really sure what that means.

A little pricy for a non-licensed toy, But I've bought some of their other "Creature" merch, so what the heck!

They did that with the Lugosi figs.   Brief pre-order with button etc...   Then when in stock just sold the figures.

Just ordered mine!
If it matters- this is not part of their "Ghoulsville" collection. It says this piece is made of resin and is a hair taller than the others..
Might possibly be the beginning of a new series?

Booo, not factory produced vinyl.   Resin is no fun.

The vinyl versions must not have sold well enough to validate factory production.   My guess it's much more cost effective to do resin.

I'm sure it is. That's why garage kits are made of resin.
