Editorials > Hasbro to Release Cloverfield Monster Action Figure

Following the major success this past weekend of J.J. Abrams' monster movie Cloverfield, Hasbro has decided to sell action figures of the rarely seen creature that ravages New York City. Photos of the figure are not available yet, but according to Variety

The 14-inch figure is being aimed at the collectible crowd and will include sound, two interchangeable heads (one each for the monster's "calm or agitated" moods), 10 parasites and the head of the Statue of Liberty.

How much would you be willing to spend for such a potentially valuable and entertaining item? As much as $100? Because that's what it's already going for on Hasbro's website. The actual toys won't ship until September 30th (you read that right, eight months from now). So start saving your lunch money, kids 4 and up, as well as man-children 40 and sad.

being the collector that i am...

i honestly wouldn't pay crap for it, not only did i not enjoy the film but it made me motion sick. basically the success of cloverfield was based of the fact that so lil was none about it, its success is merely from all the hype.

The success, at least in terms of it's box office, may have to do with all the hoopla created about the movie but I must say I rather enjoyed the film. So much, in fact, that I'd venture to say it's the best monster on a rampage flick ever. Granted the competition is weak but it was a great flick. To each their own though. I still don't get people getting motion sick. I guess some are just more inclined to it than others.
That being said, I would not pay 100 bucks for this thing and I too am a collector. Short of Neca/Sota/McFarlane making it and making it huge, i see no reason to pay that much.
