If you held one in person you'd see how nice they are.   Not everything has to be licensed.    If this were a 50 year old toy people would go nuts for it licensed or not.

Looks a little better in this pic. Still hate it when they use cloth bodies.

Yea, the cloth body ain't great, but I guess it goes with these being dolls.

Creature in a coffin doesn't fit any motive I know of, film or otherwise.  I can go with it though, as it's the brand name, and made so well.

I think the cloth body for a Creature bothers me more than any of the other monsters.  At least the other monsters are wearing clothing.

The Creature is naked.  He should be the same texture all over.

And that one will cost you 3 times as much (loose) as the CCC.

Followed by the mego figure wearing it's onesie PJs.

I'm not knocking anyone who collects these but the wolfman was the only one that made sense to me due in part to eddie munster having a wolfie plush. Just my opinion of course..
That being said, the creature does look good.

I think people forget these are supposed to be a continuation of the Drac-Bat doll had it became a full line.     They aren't supposed to be stand alone examples of the character they represent.    If you don't like Drac-Bat or similar vinyl headed plushies you won't like these.   Myself, I loooove vinyl headed dolls.   In that context they are damn near perfect.     Not cheap, but you are paying for a limited run of a legit factory produced toy.   The look, feel, and smell  of a factory made toy  compared to a hand made custom is worth the little bit extra.  It's just  so much more satisfying in the long run.

Wow that looks great-- I'm all for the cloth bodies-- I am happy they're switching to plastic hands and feet.  So far I've only bought the Werewolf, found an American Girl bathrobe for him and now he's my own version of Woof Woof.

I got an email from them the other day with tracking, says I should have mine on Monday!
Do you know where you are, Bartolome? I'll tell you where you are. You are about to enter Hell, Bartolome, HELL!...

Mine arrived today and it's an impressive bootleg Creature.
