Let's just hope that they make it big enough that the velcro parasites arent a choking hazard. Then I'll have a new toy for the little ones.

There's probably joints for each individual finger or something. I remember there was a huge Spider-Man figure awhile ago that was like that.

Question to all the guys out there: If a hot girl was walking down the street wearing a revealing top and holding onto a Cloverfield toy, would you gawk at her cleavage or the toy?

Me being the uber gay female that I am, would stare at the cleavage.


I would look at the toy. Being that I am rather fond of collecting action figures, that's the item that my eyes would naturally gravitate towards.

Yeah it would have to be, something like 6 for each foot, 4 for each leg, but that would still leave 30 joints! I bet the tail must have quite a few, and his dangly bits.

wait if you want!

If anyone's unsure about this figure, Hasbro said its puttin up an image "soon" though "soon" could mean weeks. oh btw who thinks they should include a live parasite for $100? At the least make the smaller ones go "wawawawawawawawawaaa" like they did in the movie!

I'm getting one. I don't care if I have to eat a small child to get one, I'm getting one.

btw, is it just me or does anyone want a Hud action figure w/ handy-cam accessory?

Or a Marlena action figure w/ interchangeable abdomens... and a rod.

Each action figure should get their own parasite.

does anyone have any experience with hasbro action figures?
i have no idea when it comes to figures, but i definitely want an MGP watching over my desk.
i can definitely justify spending $100 on a realistic figure of MGP, but i am not so sure on a toy that has "realistic noises" and 5,000 joints. sounds kind of more for play than display u know?

can anyone convince me otherwise? Very Happy

definitely for play... and I'm glad it is. It's all a tribute to Godzilla... which is also for play... It would seriously cheapen Clover's roots if it was just for display.

Might as well just wait for a poster of Clover to come out and hang it up, if you just want something to look at.

$99 seems very expensive for just a toy

for that price they better throw some robotics in it with a remote control. It would be kind of fun to throw the statue of libertys head at the push of a button

For a hundred bucks, the damned thing better be able to demolish little miniature cities on command.

Just thought it whould be mentioned-

I used to work in a store where we sold alot of these limited-edition, collectible-type figures.
First, there is no image up yet probably because the prototype has yet to be completed. I think that is why the release date is so far off- time to perfect the prototype, make molds, etc.
Second, the steep price is due to several things- the limited edition aspect (it did say that, yeah? Or anm I making things up?). The more made, the less the price can be because the inital manufacturing price will be made up. The less made, the more expensive.
Third, well, think. You are getting a 14" tall (or 14" from head to tail?) figure with I'm assuming lifelike (hah) articulation, and a gaggle of bonuses. And it makes noise! This all makes for the hefty price tag. If it was just some little Wal*Mart thing it would be very limited in movement and be smaller, and no one wants that, yeah?
