You're the first one I've heard that mention the doll (legs) at the top of the picture being a monster high doll. that's amazing, they really did a good job on this one. Thanks for mentioning that, I think it's an important part to the box.
She reminds me of honey swamp,.. She gorgeous. Can we have a doll room/collection your Chad? I really want to see you're collection that will be amazing 😍😍😍😍
Oh My Gosh! Best box design. I think one reason I love it so much is the design of the stand. Making it a dimensional piece of the backdrop inbox is such a wonderful idea. Could all stands be an example of the vibe and story of each doll? What a fantastic idea!
I'm so glad you called out those horrid elbow joints. My Creature has the exact same issue. She's my first Skullector which made the fragile elbows even more disappointing. Overall though, I absolutely LOVE her. She's stunning and the level of detail is wild. Also, I highly recommend you watch the movie! It is delightfully hokey! 😆
I love her Im so happy I was able to get her! The date on the back is actually the date of the movie and the time 19:54 is the year of the movie, I don't know about the coordinates
I love Abbott and Costello movies meet the killer, meet the mummy , and meet Frankenstein and Dracula and the wolfman and the invisible man who is vouced by Vincent Price a old horror monster legend
The back of the box outlines the movie plot, the movie is from 1954. 📽️🎞️🍿 Oh! PS, try hooking the stand to her thigh, I saw that in the photos....🖐️ PSS 😬. Just to add, Esther Williams, Hollywood star and champion swimmer, wore similar hair ornaments in her movies, I wonder if it's a nod to her...🤔
I live her. Unfortunately i didn't get her. Creature from the Back Lagoon is my favorite Universal monster ever since I was a kid. I love her face and hair. I also love the unique stand. Geeat video
It's a classic creature feature and it's not scary anymore. It's really good. Would have been scary back then but our horror movie trailers are 5000 times scarier than anything in these old movies now. It's great and I love the characters. My grandpa showed it to me. Fantastic movie!! You should watch!
This is the first movie I ever saw as a kid; and I only saw two. I was so mesmerized! All I remember is the creature walking out of the water. The movie was in black and white.
The story on the back references the movie 🙂👍🖐️🍿🎥 I'm putting my black & white skull shores Frankie above the Creature, dangling her legs in the water as in the box illustration. 🙂👍
A lot ppl including myself complaining bout her arm. Like I got 2 to have one out of box and now I’m afraid to touch her. I had no idea this has BEEN an issue cause normally I don’t unbox them but I’m a huge creature fan so this one time I got 2
The stand is supposed to fit around her thigh! so that should solve the height issue you were concerned about, you can see how it works in some of the photos mattel provided on their website.
Just a little word about buying on eBay - there have been times when I have found the collector dolls for a really reasonable price from a seller who accidentally bought two, or got an extra one from a friend/family member. But yes, I agree with you Chad - the way over inflated prices are outlandish and a problem that I hope Mattel will fix in the near future. My pet peeve about these sales is this: I have money and want to buy a doll, but I can’t buy a doll because of the frenzy selling practices? It’s very frustrating.
Thank you for sharing! She is such a beautiful doll 💚 and thank you for bringing up the arm issue again! I thought it was me! Had issues with Jack Skellington but fixed it thankfully.
hello big fan of the film i'd like to put in that the skeleton hand is likely referencing the fossil found of creature (a different one was crushed by rock and they found a hand) in the beginning of the movie that caused the scientist to search for him to start :') amazing details with this one
This is another doll a passed on. In part becuz I told myself I wud and in part to be courteous to horror fans and completionists. But, in a world where this doll were widely available and in stock, I would have bought in a heartbeat. I've never seen the movie, but the way this was done is just soooo cool and pretty
I highly recommend you just take a weekend, and watch all the classic monsters movies from the 20's and 30's and beyond. Starting with Nosferatu (1922) starring Max Schreck; Frankenstein (1931) Boris Karloff; Dracula (1931) Bela Lugosi; The Mummy (1932) Boris Karloff; The Phantom of the Opera (1925) Lon Chaney; The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) Ricou Browning; The Wolfman (1941) Lon Chaney Jr...The Blob (1958) Steve McQueen; and an obscure, but FANTASTICALLY scary: Island of Terror (1966) 🙂👍🖤
I haven’t unboxed any of my skullector bit I did notice even on the creepros the joints just don’t move like they should. I wonder why the articulation somehow got worse with these issues. If I ever do unbox some skullectors I’ll be extra careful.
I do think they did a good job with this doll. Not for the price point, because she's in a BATHING SUIT, but the doll is nice. However, that wasn't my opinion of Frankenstein or Dracula so I'm not going to randomly purchase a doll of the Creature of the Black Lagoon, even if it was the best doll I've ever seen in my life.
Chad Does she glow in the dark? Or is it just the coloring? The box art is just awesome so many little nuggets for the fans I'm just loving it.Chad she is gorgeous 💚 Tnx you for another awesome detailed review
It’s getting so disheartening not to be able to have a chance of getting these collectibles before they are taken by scalpers :( it’s like the hunger games Mattel 2.0
Only problem, for me, I wish it was a male doll. The Creature in the movie .... while androgynous ... had more male features. Facial, more muscular, than this female looking doll. Just my preference.

My late husband loved that movie.

I love her , hi Chad Marvelous
I love her Im so happy I was able to get her!
The date on the back is actually the date of the movie and the time 19:54 is the year of the movie, I don't know about the coordinates
February 12, 1954: That’s when the movie came out. It’s awesome that they included that detail! 💚🪸🪼
She is so green and I love it 😁
Scary i got the shivers when you read it , don't watch it at night
She is stunning and her stand is amazing!! So happy you were able to get her.
The problem I have with these dolls is that they look like playline dolls at a collector doll price.
She is stunning so happy you got her and great review btw. I'm looking forward to the Addams family skullector that is gonna drop on the 9th. 😊
Instead of hidden mickeys trying to find skullettes in the background is fun!
I love Abbott and Costello movies meet the killer, meet the mummy , and meet Frankenstein and Dracula and the wolfman and the invisible man who is vouced by Vincent Price a old horror monster legend
All comedy horror funny movies
Lon Chaney wolfman , Bela Lagosi Dracula I forget who plays Frankenstein

Your reviews are so in-depth and detailed. I really appreciate that ❤
I try my best 😋
This is the first movie I ever saw as a kid; and I only saw two. I was so mesmerized! All I remember is the creature walking out of the water. The movie was in black and white.
I think my first was Wizard of Oz and the flying monkeys gave me nightmares 😳
Chad you are happiness.
💛💛💛💛💛
I watched the movie when I was a little girl and it scared me i mean I was afraid of my pool i was afraid of lake water
Thanks for pointing out the jointed knee! What a clever detail!
Of course! 💚
What a stunning doll! 💚💚💚
Yes! As much as I like some of the M.H. accessories, I appreciate the aesthetic 'purity' of the collector M.H. dolls.
She is really cute, and I would like to have been able to get her. I'm not going to pay scalper prices though, to get her. Thank you for the review :)
Chad she looks absolutely gorgeous 😍
I think the reason why the pegs are looser on this doll is both the weight from the hand cuffs and also the strain from the pose
Got me some more ILY for ever Dolls in mail on Sunday! Chad ! Sophia MARIA 💚
I've seen the stand sit on her upper left leg, gives her the swimming effect
Chad you make me smile every day when I see your videos thank you for making my day ❤
🤗
The story on the back references the movie 🙂👍🖐️🍿🎥

You got to see the movie. just to say you saw the most cheesy campy movie ever! LOVE HER I WANT!
Thanks for the heads up on the elbow joints! I'm going to snip the ties if I keep them in box, to relieve the tension/strain on the plastic. 🖐️
The stand is supposed to fit around her thigh! so that should solve the height issue you were concerned about, you can see how it works in some of the photos mattel provided on their website.
Shes gorgeous! I’ve not watched the movie for decades so can’t really remember it - I’ll have to watch it again now!

A detail that nobody noticed is the joint on the end on the back of the outer box
Seen mixed reviews about her! About to watch the video - excited to see your thoughts!
Thank you for sharing! She is such a beautiful doll 💚 and thank you for bringing up the arm issue again! I thought it was me! Had issues with Jack Skellington but fixed it thankfully.
I’m disappointed i missed her 😢 I’m really pleased you managed to get her 😁 the coral in the middle reminds me of ghoulia
Aww, sorry you weren't able to get her
The fabric is:Tulle 😍

Oh cool!
You need to watch the movie. It's super campy and fun. It's a classic. Loved your review!

But, in a world where this doll were widely available and in stock, I would have bought in a heartbeat. I've never seen the movie, but the way this was done is just soooo cool and pretty
She looks amazeing
to me one of the best these days
Personally I feel there is too much green, I know the original character is green and all but I think it blends too much
Yayyyy i just got mines today about to open her and do a quick TikTok vid 🙌🏽💚
She is pretty
She’s pretty ❤❤❤

She doesn't seem to glow in the dark that I was able to find.
Oh I send something for you. The box should come by May 6.
Aww yay! Thank you. I usually check my mailbox every Thursday or Friday
@@ChadMarvelous Your welcome ^^ I hope you like what's inside.
Hi Serena!
@@marilynmcfall7637 Hi marilynmcfall!
I don't understand why they stopped giving each of the collector dolls their own individual names.
It’s getting so disheartening not to be able to have a chance of getting these collectibles before they are taken by scalpers :( it’s like the hunger games Mattel 2.0
