[SPEC][DEBUNKED] The monster action figure?
Sorry, this may be previously discovered.

This definitely looks right. In the movie, look at how the legs are slanted. For them to be that slanted, the monster would HAVE to have hands like this one.

I believe that is a figure of a modernized version of the Id monster from The Forbidden Planet.

Yes, artist's reimagining of the id monster.

These are the official Cloverfield action figures. (Notice they support the waterbear theory, also don't ask what Jamie is doing in front of it.) Smile

While we're debunking action figures, anybody know the source on this one?

http://gojira04.deviantart.com/art/Cloverfield-monster-70600610

Seems to incorporate features of the ogre fish, octopus, and crab, at least. I could stretch and say that the jellyfish aspect is covered by the multiple eyes, but...!

I'd probably take it more seriously without all the random arms sticking out of its back. Also no part of it really resembles the glimpse we got of it in the trailer.

The model in that picture is an HP Lovecraft one, I've seen it on Lovecraft merch sites. I think it's meant to be a Shoggoth, but I can't be certain.

It's Dagon, I believe. They were slated for some Lovecraft figurine line, but were cancelled for some reason or another.

An alternate view:
