Movie was great…I agree that the color is off and the details aren’t the same as in the film/photos. Id like to see something a bit closer to the color and detail. Id definitely buy it.

actually the monster is a pallid white. straight from the horses mouth in this months special effects magazine Cinefex, the production team uses the term albino giant. the reason you never get get a feel for the monsters true color is because hes so freeking pale that he is absorbing the colors of his surroundings and its night time. and having seen the movie twice, other than the monster isnt hunched and a lil bit thicker the monster does look like this, there are more detailed pics on some other website that give you shots of every possible angle of this toy, he looks just like this and does have his tail.

I Remember The Monster Being More Of A Greenish Brown Color. I Hope This Pic Is Just A Prototype Of The Action Figure, And They Are Painted

I wouldnt say spoiler either, the movie has been out a month, It is barely even showing anymore at the theater here. I say it is amazing the toy didnt come out before the movie like with many other toys from movies. A google image search for the “cloverfield monster” to this day will not even give you a glimpse of what the monster looks like.

This looks way off from what i remember from the movie. It looks like they were in a rush to finish this and spent a few hours on the paint job before having the toy stolen from their desks before they finished. It just doesn’t even remind me much of the monster from the film. Terrible job if this is the final product.

I have not seen the movie but the head of that thing reminds me of Bram Stoker Dracula movie from the 90s with Gary Oldman… not really sure why.

The color is really off. In the movie the two sacks on its head were red. This toy kinda looks like a rehash of the Malbogia toy from the Spawn series.

@ Jackson Alsop:

“You donâ€™t like being called an asshole or a fuckwit?

I hate you so fucking much.”

I actually don’t mind. Your opinion is meaningless to me for a number of reasons. Mostly because of your immaturity and seemingly lack of intelligence (though intelligence is arguable so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt).

And to put it quite simply, grow up. Let me know when you actually are old enough to have a conversation without having to resort to immaturity. I’d be surprised if your even out of Middle School yet with the way you are acting. It’s also interesting how you so freely use the word “hate”. It’s a strong word to use, and your immaturity is also shown by just how easily you throw the word around.

This comment box area is meant for intelligent and mature discussion. And it seems like you really can’t abide by those guidelines with the state of your comments.

I have to agree with most of the posts here and elsewhere…this looks horrible.

Even assuming that the images we saw of the monster in the theater were distorted because of the “handycam”:
(http://gizmodo.com/347463/the-real-camera-behind-cloverfield)
I still don’t think is worth 100 bones. I was hoping this was a joke until I saw Hasbro’s online store page:
(http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?ID=21030&BR=863)

A few thoughts on the pics:
1) Where’s his tail? Looks like it could be in the first pic, but it’s noticeable absent from the third.
2) Where are the air sacs? Assuming they’re at the top of the head shot, the color is way off.
3) The detail on the model is just plain bad for that kind of price. I expect more from McFarlane models that are half the price and actually have very complicated color paint jobs.

I’ll reserve final judgment for the actual release with the parasites and the SoL head, but I definitely won’t be pre-ordering now.

@ JJ Abrams:

An excellent post. The idiots saying this looks nothing like the monster must have seen a different film, because this looks EXACTLY like what I remember from the theatre and what I’ve seen elsewhere online.
