Transparent Gill-man

Many of the 9-inch Universal Monsters figures by Sideshow Collectibles ended up as peg warmers back in '99. It was sad seeing so many of them hanging around, because they were all very cool, and very well made.

Predictably, I do have a few favorites from the line, and one of them is the somewhat odd transparent "special edition" version of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

The figure itself is actually very nice, but I can't understand why they needed to do a transparent version... as if the Gill-man was ever transparent... or even slightly transparent.

This toy does manage to meet two simple criteria for making my list of most awesome action figures though. Firstly, it's made from clear plastic. Secondly, it's the Creature from the Black Lagoon. That about does it.
