Title: Looking for a pic of a custom Creature
Post by: horror1o1 on September 05, 2024, 08:11:10 PM
Years ago I seen a pic in one of the post years ago of  a custom plush creature from the black lagoon it looked like a teddy bear with the moveable arms and legs I believe it could have been in a Uma display. I believe a fallen member had it made . Does in any have said pic? I've been wanting to find it.

Surely one of the admins or owner of Uma remembers this.

He was custome made by a member who passed away 15 plus years ago. I think he was even in a Uma display. It was a very simple plush that had movable arms and legs and looked like a teddy bear. The members name might have been count something. Is there a lot at of passed away members?

Check the members list for "count" somebody and see if any of them sound familiar. If one does, go to his profile and search his old posts. Maybe some mention of the thing will turn up.

So apparently I've been obsessed with this longer than I thought I posted about this years ago. It was a one of a kind mad for Ben Chapman. I was very taken with it and thought about making one myself.

I'll bet the "Arizona Gillman" would know about it. He is/was a member here
and an avid collector of Creature stuff >

You might also search the image archives of The Witch's Dungeon. They often
posed celebrities with all sorts of unusual props >

I did find a pic finally it was of Ben Chapman's custom creature teddy bear still made. It was in a memorial display. Sadly it has a water mark on the photo and no pics of the back to make one for myself. I wish I knew who owned it today I'd love some more pics of it. For some reason this piece really speaks to me.

I'm gonna be honest I haven't posted a pic in so long I'm not sure I remember how. Do we still have to use flicker or photo bucket?

Thank you . I tried photo bucket but it seems they charge now. I use it so rarely I can't see paying for it. Any way this is the creature I. All his glory if anyone has more detailed pics of front and back I'd appreciate it. After I get a few projects done I want to make a version of it.
