OK, so now we know what the Japanese version of Creature of the Black Lagoon would have looked like.

By which I mean, awesome.

Two thoughts:

* Talk about movies that don’t live up to the promise of the poster. Though saying that does talk down Creature from the Black Lagoon, which is a great flick.

* That remains one of the best looking monster suits of all time. The lady behind it did herself proud.

And he can even talk in the Japanese version, evidently!

Reminds me of one of the guys in our modeling club who to replicate a scene in ‘Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’ where the Seaview was attacked by some sort of ocean giant combined a figure of something, I think it was the Creature, with a much smaller Seaview kit.
Not totally sure though, this was before I joined so I never saw it, and I’ve never seen the episode so this is all second-hand.
