There have been several high-end, sixth-scale 12" figures of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. This isn't one of those. This was a more affordable, mass-market edition from Hasbro.
Hasbro had released a number of Universal Monsters in their signature series, those were packaged in a standard window box. The Creature is packaged in a clear cylinder with a molded (manually) rotating stand (by way of connecting the lid and base),
Despite an oddly sculpted groin (which offered greater leg articulation), this is actually a nice-looking figure for the price.
Be sure to check back next week for another item from my Creature collection!
