For my first Creature post, I have selected the oldest example in my collection for which I was the original owner — almost 50 years.
AHI was a producer of inexpensive rack toys, and though they did a number of monster dolls (including a few incredibly rare — and incredibly expensive — Creatures), those that aligned with my age range were a series of Bendy figures (rubber figures with a wire armature that allow you to pose them). What I think is particularly amazing about this one is how well he withstood my love and affection over the years. I'm surprised at how most of his painted details are still present, considering how long he's traveled with me. When the day comes to thin my Creature herd, you can rest assured this little guy will be one of the absolute last to go.
Be sure to come back each Wednesday through 2024 to see more from my Creature from the Black Lagoon collection.
