$175 Regular
$185 B&W Silver Screen Variant

Three heads and an extra pair of hands and feet. You get 20% off the B&W version if you buy both at once.

I caved. I'm hoping that MONDO will use more protective shipping boxes than they have in the past, but I'm not holding my breath. As long as the figure arrives safe and sound... *rubs hands together*. My very first Creature!

 

[marisinacc]

The figure is very very nice but I?m afraid I have no option, it ships USA and Canada only so bye for me to the regular price. Will have to go through resellers on evilbay

I suspect BBTS will have the regular version. I should've waited, but my impulsivity got the better of me...

Ordered both versions. Hands down my favorite Universal Monster.

Yeah there's no indication the regular version would be an exclusive, so I'd just hold tight and not preorder for a lot of money elsewhere.

Overpriced.

 

[Vonhahn]

They did.

[D'oh!]

Shipping for $25 is a ripoff... but I ordered it anyway. I never did pick up the Sideshow one so this will be my first 12" Creature.

 

[Vonhahn]

The base price isn't too bad but to get the Exclusive Silver Screen Edition directly from them, shipping is the low low price of $25. It's ridiculous... and they are charging $10 more for LESS color? Ahhh well as it's an exclusive....I don't have a choice if I want the last character I've always wanted to join my Sideshow Collection.....

 

[SpaceCrawler]

I had high hopes for this but the final photos don't look great. It looks like a sculpt you'd see on a small cheap figure. A shame as the Creature is my favorite Universal monster.

I don't think the shipping cost is that bad, really. You all have mailed something recently, right? It's certainly not cheap.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

If you use the payment plan, shipping is $38 (at least to my address), and then they add almost $20 more for taxes. That's about $60 for....nothing. You're right. It isn't cheap to mail stuff. The reason people used to buy something through the mail was if you paid shipping, you didn't pay tax. Now you pay both. I don't buy much modern stuff. Prices keep climbing.

Oh man. The addition of sales tax on stuff really kills me as well. It's 9% here, which adds up really quickly. One more reason I still try to use smaller companies instead of Amazon when I can...

I really hope MONDO comes through with this guy, as he is an expensive purchase.

 

[abake]

Looks pretty awesome! I love the extra heads.

Yeah the price isn't outrageous, but I wish they double boxed instead of shipping it in the shipper like Sideshow.

And for the complaints about the grey one...this isn't like a color movie, paint still gets applied, exclusives are always a little more. It's not like they're saving money on the paint, it's still a good B&W paint job with greys etc and not just slapping black and white paint on it. If you stripped the regular version of paint, you wouldn't find this version beneath it.
