Maybe one's The Creature and the other is that supplemental package of plastic fruit a lot of people got.
Imagine all of the people who ordered plastic fruit and got one of these horrid little aquarium monsters by mistake...broken to boot!  :laugh:

I would like to offer plastic fruit replacements to anyone stuck with those dreadful little aquarium monsters. Mail the little bastards to me and you will receive the plastic fruit within a week. I will do this out of the kindness in my heart for all my UMA brethren.

They are back on ebay. $25.99 with you guessed it...free shipping in a white bubble wrap package!
Back at it again. Here we go...

Ready for 10 more pages of entertainment. Why not gamble, you only loose a few drinks from Starbucks! Here's your chance if you missed last time. I think someone is making them. Old back stock wouldn't be this clean. A knock off of something we all like...period!

At $17.99, I would consider it, but I'm not laying out $26 unless I'm guaranteed a perfect Creech (in a damn box).

I'm willing to pay $17.99 for plastic fruit... but $26? Forget it!

After the price hike they should send it in a box. I wonder how high they are going to push the prices on these things and still expect people to gamble on getting an unbroken one. Hell, if they would ship securely they could have gotten a lot more to start with from collectors, who are obviously their clientele. People who just want an aquarium ornament can get one cheap at Wal-Mart...and have it unbroken and actually working. Whoever is behind this big Creature Blitz sure stepped in it. In the words of Bugs Bunny- "What a maroooon".

The price hike should more than cover the price of shipping in a cardboard box.

I'd pay 25 bucks for a MINT Creature from an American seller that comes USPS/UPS with insurance.  No way I would take this overseas gamble. 

John Pertwee

I agree. For that price, they should offer a stinking box.

. You'd have to pay double, for someone to deal with these people and somehow be able to get mint product from them..yeesh the time involved, bad ones received etc. Wouldn't pay to do it for any less

We don't need to deal with them.  We need to deal with their distributor.   ;)

UPDATE: just received mine, and it's in perfect condition. Opened bubble mailer to find a brown cardboard box. It was ill-fitting (for the actual item, but still protected it, nonetheless. Creature inside was well-wrapped in bubble wrap (seller opened packaging, wrapped creature, and re-sealed. Also, clear tape was wrapped around the midsection of figure, preventing the two parts to break apart.
Very satisfied!
