Deadman's Toys - The Gillman (Silver Screen Bust)

When it comes to toys/figures/statues, the deadman has a soft spot for all things zombies, but the one thing that can top even that (and is also my all time favorite horror creature) is "The Gillman" from The Creature from the Black Lagoon. 

I love everything "gillman" related, and Sideshow Collectibles have really out done themselves this time with the Silver Screen Edition Life Size Bust of the famous Universal Monster.

Here's what they had to say about this upcoming release:

"Sideshow Collectibles is proud to bring you Silver Screen Edition of The Creature from the Black Lagoon Life-size bust. Recreated from the original screen-used mask, each piece is individually painted and finished to exacting standards, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product. The Silver Screen Edition of this fully detailed bust is painted and costumed in grey-scale, true to its stunning original silver screen presence. The bust is mounted on a decorative base, and each piece is individually hand-numbered."

You can purchase this now for $499.99 and it has an estimated ship date of the 1st Qtr, 2010.  Geez.. with this price tag, I'm gonna have to make more than a few runs to the local blood bank.   Pretty much, all of the Sideshow collectables come with a steep price tag, almost too steep for the average collector - but they do make some quality pieces and this one's just AWESOME!
