I don't think they're gonna sell this in the stores.
The website says, "The Cloverfield monster is available exclusively through HasbroToyShop.com".

On the odd chance it does end up in the stores, it won't be until way after the Oct release from the online store.


ultimate bumble bee was supposed to be an exclusive from hasbrotoyshop.com as well but after it's release it popped up in stores all over the place... so perhaps it will later all

14 inches tall, though? 10 parasites and lady liberty's head? a little more than a toy.

i just ordered mine, haha... i'm thrilled about it.

i'm thinking the interchangeable heads will be awesome. the monster's mouth seems to unfold outward, and look more dragon-like when it roars. i'm thinking that will be the "agitated" head. when its mouth is closed (like the scene with hud), it has a much more rounded, humanoid face... i'm thinking that will be the "calm" head. i can't frickin' wait.

It's been talked about a lot. There's even a thread somewhere were someone posted a picture of what he thought they were, and where they were.

jj said that MGP had abilities/features that they couldn't work into the movie, so yea no one "saw it" so to speak.

i think that what i personally mistook for little t-rex arms on his chest are the people sucking tubes. but who knows, i just can't wait to get my 3 foot tall mgp vacuum with (no nevermind there are way too many bad ways that this could end)


but i will say that one of the first things that i thought when i read this is "DAMN I HOPE THAT THEY MAKE IT SO THAT YOU CAN PUT THE SOL HEAD ON THE MONSTER BODY" wouldn't that just be friggin classic?!?!!

The 'people sucking underbelly' came from 1-18-08.com. ::EDIT-- no wait, it came from the 1-18-08 debunking blog. My bad:: There's nothing about it on the Hasbro site, and I think people are taking it waaaaaay out of context. The little stubby arms are either flippers or claws, because they have joints. Tentacles do not have joints. Most likely, they're spade-shaped flippers, like the fins on a ceolocanth, or some sort of marine dinosaur.

I might be wrong, but the idea of MGP somehow absorbing people through his chest is just too far fetched, especially where the monster was designed to be 'realistic'. If you watch the video of the bombing run on youtube, you can see that there IS something that moves on his chest around the sternum, but these look more like little centipede legs; like the little wavy things on the bottom of a shrimp or a lobster.

At least, that's my 2 cents.

Was thinking the exact same thing. Her line " why was it eating everyone?" sure is telling. think she witnessed some messed up shit. I still hate what happened to her. had the biggest crush on her Crying or Very sad

Yeah, but... it has a mouth. And hands to carry things to said mouth. And little flipper-arms to carry things to said mouth as well. The whole idea that its stomach somehow eats people just doesn't fit for me. So, until photos surface or we actually get to see the toy, I will only sadly shake my head and wonder why people would WANT it to have such a stupid feature.

True.

However, it has been stated that there are things the monster can do that he didn't do in the movie. Stated by the producers.

Yeah. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense that this 25 story, many-limbed, ocean-dwelling, monkey-dinosaur-satanic vampire bat thing would have a self-feeding stomach, right?

Evolution-wise, I mean.
