Toy Fair Quick Shots > DST Fully-Articulated Gillman
Here’s another thing I’m really excited about…a fully-articulated Diamond Select Gillman from Creature from the Black Lagoon. The eyes look much better than the first release, too.

Review > Metaluna Mutant (Universal Monsters, Diamond Select) w/ Sculptor’s Commentary
Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, Universal Studios built their reputation on horror films. The “canonical” Universal Monsters are Dracula, Frankenstein(‘s Monster), the Wolf Man, the Mummy, and the Gillman from Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Odds ‘n Ends > Toy Fair Items of Interest & More
A few other things that caught my eye at Toy Fair: Mezco’s stylized Universal Monsters figures. OAFE reviewer and occasional PGPoA contributor Rustin Parr could not possible be more excited for these–he’s planning to get two of each. I’m in for the Gillman, of course, as he’s my favorite UM. They’re due out around September [...]
