::EDIT:: Also, there's no way this: http://www.cloverfield-movie.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/cheese11808wf3.jpg could be the toy. It looks nothing like MGP, not even slightly.


Yeah i'm not sure if it is but the source is strong. Some spy from Hasboro released it and said it was the bust for MGP. But whatever it is it looks freaking amazing...Anyone know for sure what it is? And remember, we still don't know for SURE what MGP looks like, it was so dark in the movie and we saw so little at a time with all those freaky spotlights going on.

I would so totally cry if that was the action figure for MGP, because we at least know he has 4 main legs with at least 2 smaller "people suckers." While this does look neat...it is, alas, not our MGP!

yea, that thing looks kinda dumb in my opinion... I can see similarities though... 2 fingers and a higher up claw... the "people suckers" could be pulled in...

My hope is that this was an early concept of it.

Very Happy Ty I shall go and tell the people I found this from....or will I? >Very Happy Maybee I will let the suspense and surprise get them...

Man if I could just see the scene where it shows the thing standing right in the street staring the main characters down right as the dude is saving his GF in her appartment, then I could almost get a slight idea...

I still don't see it... could someone PLEASE post a really blurry picture with frantic red MSPaint edits circling something so I can agree with you?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=qxQ24jnVcmI Here's a good vid where the scene featuring the sequence of photos pointing out the 'sucker arms' comes from. Watch the scene a few times; you can see he's NOT picking up a person. The sequence of photos is just blurry and makes it look like he is.

I know I'm alone in this, but I still say they're flippers.

Also, when the bombing run scene occurs later, you get a good look at MGP's chest; if you watch closely, you can see that the things on it's chest move in a sort of ripple, like the legs of a centipede. Think of the bottom of a shrimp or lobster... the imagery seems to mesh more with that than the whole 'mouth' theory. It could be said that the small, axillary legs lift people to this area, which tears them up and passes them up to MGP's mouth. Outlandish, I know, but it seems a little more plausible to me than MGP having a mouth on his chest.

they look as though they were meant to 'scoop' things up... perhaps a scoop/suck motion?

Honestly, I've considered that as well, but I think that a flipper under the right lighting might have the same sort of appearance, especially if it was fairly cup-shaped. Still, the possibility of a scooper is something I can concede to.
