NECA HAS OBTAINED UNIVERSAL MONSTERS!!!!

They don't bother me. It breaks up the green.

As a kid I painted my Creature model with red lips like the Aurora box art with red lips.  But as an adult it looks odd to me.  I have a lifesized Resin bust, and a Vinyl bust, and initially painted the vinyl bust with red lips but it just didn't look right.  When I painted the resin bust, I painted them the same green as the skin color, but added a light coral coloring to the lips, and that just worked for me, so I repainted the vinyl bust to match.

That blurb was generated by MoM to describe the image that is labeled "Not For Public Release" on S7's wholesale site.

Is there a link to that?

The Rubie's Creature Grave Walker had pink lips - those looked OK to me.  I hate the candy apple red lips that some toy manufacturers give him.

[MonsterBaker666]

Like the lip color.   Not a fan of the human looking eyes.

They really dropped the ball on that one.

Here's MoM's description and link:

"From the depths of Super7 comes this 14" creature based on their cyborg designs which will have complete internal organs visibility."

And here's part of EE's:

"Super7 makes excellent Super Cyborg robot figures, but this Gill Man has a twist - you can pop off the chest and see the organs inside! It's like an anatomical model you saw in school, but it's from the famous movie monster instead! You can see all his organs and finally, you'll know what's inside the suit. Well, Ricou Browning was in the suit, but if you want to know what's in the fictional monster this is the best look at his internals. This collectible figure is one of the coolest takes on the classic green sea monster that we've seen in a long time, and we're sure at this scale, you'll like him too."

As for the S7 wholesale site, you've got to be affiliated with a S7 wholesale account and agree to their TOS - including not sharing embargoed images, otherwise I would just share it here.  The image is a low resolution prelim render, but the final production object is a long in the making must have for me. If the render is indicative of the final, the torso, face, and right hand will have a removable surface skin layer, allowing the internal organs and bones to be visible. I suspect you're going to want it, even at the $125 retail.

I guess I have added copper and reddish, even washes of tropical blue shades to Creature for years. This is a kit I did by Dark Horse/Chris Walas over 20 years ago.



The Aurora Monsters of the Movies Kit I did about 30 years ago



The Kit Kong Kit I did more recently.





The joys of a film being in black and white I reckon.

AWESOME! I hope it isn't from slow sales though. I'm holding out hope for Werewolf of London and Kharis at least!

As long as it's not just a painted version of the Visible Creature kit.

It is not a painted version of the Visible Creature kit.

[MonsterBaker666]

The Visible Creature model kit is essentially the old Aurora kit, cast in clear plastic, with new pink "guts" to place inside the model.  So, that figure would be about 7 inches tall

Sounds like this "Super Cyborg" version might be a toy version of it, but with organs instead of guts, and 14 inches tall.  Probably has arms / legs / head that move as well.   $125...I'll have to see it before I shell out that chunk of change for it.

Lips look much better in the light coarl color. I have the Sideshow bust, the gravewalker, and the mondo figure, and Sideshow premium format Creatue. They all have the coral color, which is ok in my book. Red Bad.
