Be careful of original / repop mishmases though!

 :)got mine yesterday, all the way for China, 18 bucks, padded envelope, seller really wrapped all waist and hands with foam, came in great, I'd say 1 out of 10, I'd give this condition an 8' very pleased and bonus was when I carried it downstairs to put in my office I noticed the eyes glow in the dark. I didn't know that!

 I'm glad people are starting to get lucky with these.

Speaking of the eyes.  Has anyone repainted the eyes on this?  If so, can you post pictures, or possibly a little tutorial?
Thanks!

Much appreciated.  For some reason I was thinking it was a more complex design.  Thanks!

Congratulations!  Looks like you won the lottery!  Out of curiosity, did you get yours from ionline.technology7 or from the other seller?  Sorry, I forgot the other sellers name and can't seem to find the auction at the moment.

I was about to ask the exact same question. Also, did you ask that it be carefully packed or just took a chance?

Frankenstein Rocks

Looks like someone in Australia purchased one and it arrived with packaging smashed and missing a claw(at least my broken hands were in the bubble) so now he's selling it- http://www.ebay.com/itm/CREATURE-FROM-THE-BLACK-LAGOON-PENN-PLAX-AQUARIUM-ORNAMENT-/151256313821?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Vintage_Antique_Toys&hash=item2337942fdd  - Also just Checked ionlinetechnologys feedback and recently its been horrible, red negatives light up the page.

What  in the world is THIS?

Now someone on eBay is selling a 1974 Creature from the Black Lagoon Aquarium figure from a company called Geisler. It's still in the package. It looks like a vintage Penn Plax knock-off! I've never seen one before, but the seller is asking $599.
