When I think about underrated movie monsters, I don’t think about Dracula, or Frankenstein, or the Wolf Man. Heck, I don’t even think of that dried-up mummy. They all get their due props, but when I think of underrated monsters, I think of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Poor old Gill-man, he’s one of the slowest monsters on land, and he just doesn’t get the respect he deserves…until NOW! (Betcha didn't see that one coming.)

Sideshow Collectibles has just made available for pre-order a polystone diorama featuring the Creature. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out now. It should ship sometime in the first quarter of 2009. And look -- he’s carrying an unconscious babe. Tisk, tisk, Gill-man!
