Creature from the Black Lagoon (39/54) - NECA Universal Monsters 7" Creature (2023)

As I think I have mentioned previously, we're in the midst of a golden age of Creature merchandise. NECA's 7" figure is not only extremely articulated, it features three different Creature heads to choose from, as well as multiple hands.

And another thing NECA really focuses on is the packaging. I not only love the use of the original poster art on the front flap, but I also  appreciate the fact that rather than just use stills from the film, they use product photographs to decorate the packaging, demonstrating the full range of poseability the figure offers.

Godzilla (38/54) - Bandai Spirits Ichibansho Godzilla vs. Destoroyah 1995 Hong Kong Landing Version (2023)

When it comes to Godzilla designs, you may have noticed that the variations on the burning/meltdown Godzilla from 1995's Godzilla vs. Destoroyah is high on my list. This particular statue, sculpted by famed monster prototype sculptor Yuji Sakai, is one of my favorites. 

He stands about 9" tall, and almost twice that long, what it lacks in articulation is more than made up for in the sculpt, right down to the tongue!
