Penn Plax CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON Aquarium Figure (1971)

[KARLOFFSIDEKICK]

I'm considering bidding.  Is this a good price?  Can anyone tell if it's complete?

Thanks.

I don't see anything missing, except the clear plastic "window". It doesn't look like any claws are missing. The box is very nice! He is the later version, with that strange thing on his chest, but that's a minor quibble.

Those used to go for around $1,500 to $2,000, but the price came down some after the release of those "1999" reissues, a couple of years ago. I suppose it will go in the upper hundreds? What y'all think?

Those are not easy to find.  Probably a lot were used in aquariums and ended up trashed decades ago.  I had one of those, long gone, and I think they have a tendency to flop over when displayed if they're not in the box...?  Definitely one of the coolest CREATURE pieces.

I'm going to guess at $481

I thought they'd get at least six for it.

Did you score, KARLOFFSIDEKICK ?

I wish, great looking figure and although I've no idea if this was a good price for it to go for I'm sure the new owner is very happy.

Under $500 for one that nice looking seems like a good deal, to me.
