Aquarium Creature Rerelease

[Mord]

Yes!!!!!! Time to order up.

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!

Finally! Which seller did you order from?

[Trap-Door Maker]

Ionline.technology7 was the eBay seller.

...and here are some photos of the packing job:

As I look at the photos I just posted, it appears that creature might have two right hands. I'll have to inspect tomorrow when I get back to the office.
I knew it was too good to be true...

I think it was mentioned before that that was the case with these. Look at picks/posts from page one. I think they all came like this. Don't worry, it looks beautiful.

You've got one of each, but these new Penn-Plax have the hands on the opposite of the '70s ones.

Yes, they all have the hands on the wrong arms...if that makes any sense!

[Trap-Door Maker]

Thanks, gang! So, to be clear, I do indeed have two different hands, but they're on the wrong arms (which is how ALL of these "bootlegs" are)?
If so, I'm fine with that. It's not a fluke if they're all like that

Absolutely! Look at page one, post#5 (KreatureKid). That should clear things up for you. Of course, if you're still dissatisfied, you could always sell it to me, ha ha.

[poseablemonster]

Yes, yours looks like it should.  The ones I have seen are all like that.  Congratulations on getting one that was not totally smashed.

 Has anybody else gotten any of these recently? Just wondering if they are all starting to come in decent shape.

I might take a chance on another if the sellers finally have their act together.

[darkmonkeygod]

I haven't seen any at the $17.99 in a while. Ultimately, mine got refunded suddenly after I got a message from the seller telling me they'd look into being abke to box one. So, I got a free broken ones, but I'd MUCH prefer an intact one I paid for.

The claws continue to be a problem, I think they break them when they jam the foam insulation in to protect the piece! Bubble should be sufficient. However the packaging was protected by cardboard now.
