Today, Mondo is releasing this killer Creature From the Black Lagoon soft vinyl figure by artist Attack Peter! 2024 is the 70th anniversary of Universal Pictures’ Creature From the Black Lagoon, and what better way to celebrate the beloved Gill-man than with an epic new vinyl figure in Attack Peter’s signature art style. This Universal Monsters figure looks as though it stepped right out of one of Attack Peter’s awesome linocut block prints.
“I’ve always had a soft spot for the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Not only was he far and away my favorite of the Universal Monsters, but I knew as a kid that he was terribly misunderstood. It’s incredible to think that this is now the 5th figure I’ve had a hand in designing that features this linocut, block-print style. The fact of the matter is I’m not the first person to make linoleum block prints. I’m not even the best printmaker I know. But I AM incredibly grateful that I’ve been given the opportunity to introduce many people to this medium and even more so that I’ve been trusted to interpret historic icons like the Creature from the Black Lagoon in my style.” – Attack Peter
The Creature From the Black Lagoon Soft Vinyl Figure by Attack Peter stands 10” tall and features multiple points of articulation, including the head, shoulders and wrists. The figure’s first release is in this classic green colorway, which will be a timed edition. The Creature will go on sale at 12pm CT on Tuesday February 13th, and will be available until 11:59am CT on Friday, February 16th, exclusively at MondoShop.com for $125.
