In 1963, Marx released a series of six static posed Universal Monsters figures. Though Dracula was noticeably absent, the line-up consisted of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, The Phantom of the Opera, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the fan-favorite Creature from the Black Lagoon. (Apparently Dracula needed the Hunchback's agent.) As for the Creature, the presence of leg chains identify him as being from Revenge of the Creature (1955).
This Glow-in-the-Dark release is from 1990, and a great example of a piece of merchandise that continued to appeal to collectors decades after the original issue (though you can tell that the molds had seen better days by the times these were cast!).
Of the glowing Creatures in my collection, I have to say that this is hands down the one that looks his best when he's in full glow mode.
Be sure to check back next Friday for another item from the Creature collection!
