Creature from the Black Lagoon (Costume Colors) from Super7 at an FYE last year when I found a clearance figure, and bought it, and the guy at the counter said "Yeah so all of these guys are on mega-clearance, you should bring anything up you might want to check prices." I think I bought 20-30 figures for under $5 each, and while I didn't get a Frankenstein's Monster I hope to remedy this at some point. If you're a toy person, this is catnip for any of various reasons. It was reportedly sculpted by the ex-Kenner Stephen Geddes, who brought us the Dewback and Walrus Man. The colors are said to be inspired by old Halloween costumes, and they are - kinda, sorta. The ones I saw from Ben Cooper had a green mask with a yellow shirt with red sleeves, and green highlights on the Gill Man. Maybe there's a Canadian variant or something, I'm not an expert here but it's a pretty out-there color scheme that may appeal to kids who missed the rubber band mask era, because this is the kind of neon nonsense 1990s kids enjoyed. He also has purple lips and claws, and is one of the best things I have standing around in my Orbitdyne Space Bar Playset .

I got the yellow one before the green one - heck, it's what drove me to look up the "real color" ones - because it's awesome. The body language of the sculpt should immediately strike a chord with Kenner kids of the Star Wars generation, because he stands very much like some of those Cantina aliens. The texture of the rubbery suit is incredible when reduced to plastic, with cascading scales and lots of bumps The bent elbow and extended fin hands look great, and the paint masks are a little different from the main release. I like how they highlighted the bellow, the gills, the webbing. The orange freckles on the head are a nice touch.
This 3 3/4-inch scale action figure is a very bright yellow that gobbles up a lot of the plastic detail, but it also makes it look like a weird alien monster instead of a familiar movie creature. That's a neat magic trick, and the purple lips certainly don't hurt.
The figure is well-constructed and feels a lot like an old toy. The shoulders and hips swivel, the head turns, and he stands without any fuss. It's what you want of an action figure, as it's great to not have to find a toy's center of gravity when you're done messing with it. It's a no-fuss, low-frills collectible.
Given that I got one on clearance I can only assume it wasn't a huge hit, but the only "sold" listing I see on eBay is above retail price - so it must have done, at least, adequately. I don't know why you wouldn't want to pick up one of these if you're a fan of old toys, or monsters. There are other color variants too - a glowing yellow one, some clear neon ones, standard green, another green for SDCC, and so on - so you've got options. They're all good for different reasons but this might be the weirdest, and for that reason I would push it toward you to consider.
