Most of the other Universal Monsters up to this point were dark and gothic, but the Creature went the opposite direction, being both grand and adventurous. The Creature's awe-inspiring costume and the film’s thick atmosphere also helped set a dreadful mood. While Creature from the Black Lagoon is arguably the least popular franchise in its universe, given it was the last one of the era to release in 1954, i t was one of the best films in the original Universal Monster run thanks to its revolutionary underwater moments. Finally, like all NECA figures, this fishy crossover comes in window box packaging that features illustrations by Daniel Home. However, Leo’s signature blue mask, knee pads and a fish net complete with hooks wrapped around this monstrous figure gives these two pop culture icons fresh life. Also, again, there’s so much textured detail on this beautifully chilling piece that, from a far enough glance, you could mistake this for being the normal Creature. The figure comes with two extra sets of hands, two rustic looking harpoon katanas (one complete with a fish on the end), wrist bone blades, and a pet turtle friend.

The green and scaly skin perfectly recreates the groundbreaking suit from the original Creature film while also staying true to TMNT’s turtle roots.

However, even though all those were amazing figures in their own right, the Creature is the best crossover yet simply due to the underwater nature of the character. We have so far seen Donatello as The Invisible Man, Leonardo as the Hunchback, Raphael as Frankenstein’s Monster, and April O’Neil as The Bride.

This seven-inch figure sees the leader of TMNT blended together with the 1954 film The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
