Creature from the Black Lagoon (26/54) - Super7 ReAction Figures (2016-2021)


When Super7 debuted their Universal Monsters ReAction line in 2016, I had no idea just how many variations of said figure I would come to collect! I debated whether or not to include these in a single post, or highlight each individually. As you'll see, I decided on the former, which I hope I don't come to regret in the future!

The Creature was originally released in Series 2 in a standard coloring scheme...


...as well as a glow-in-the-dark variant chase figure.



An alternative glow variation was released as a New York ComicCon exclusive...


...which frankly is a less-impressive glowing figure.


A gray 'Silver Screen' variant was also released on a foil-enhanced cardback, again as a New York ComicCon exclusive.



A few years later, a San Diego ComicCon exclusive was offered with a more garish color scheme on a nice, die-cut figural cardback.



Knowing where there was a market to exploit, Super7 didn't stop there! In 2020 they released a boxed version to mimic the Penn-Plax Aquarium decoration, not unlike what we showcased previously.






And lest you think they finished there, in 2021 they dropped a 'Silver Screen' black and white variant. 






They've definitely gotten their money's worth out of those molds! Believe it or not, there are even more variations of this Creature than those shown above (several I could thankfully live without!)

Be here next week for more from my Creature collection!
