Hasbro is offering a highly detailed representation of one of the most tightly held secrets in recent Hollywood history: the “Cloverfield” Monster. Following the January 18th theatrical release of Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot’s “Cloverfield,” (Cloverfieldmovie.com) fans will be able to order a 14 inch tall version of the beast online, beginning today, exclusively at Hasbrotoyshop.com.
“Hasbro is very excited to be working with Paramount and Bad Robot to bring to market a piece of the film for fans and collectors,” said Brian Goldner, COO of Hasbro. “The fan buzz on this film has been terrific and we are happy to take part in the excitement.”
The figure comes with two interchangeable heads, each depicting one of the Monster’s moods: calm or agitated. The head of the Statue of Liberty, the image which helped stoke lots of pre-release film buzz, is also included. The “Cloverfield” Monster, available now for pre-sale, will set you back $99.99 (retail price). I went online to see a picture, but none was available. Hmmm. Trying to keep things intriguing for anyone who hasn't yet seen the flick. This description from the press release will have to suffice:
... the fright inducing look of the creature lives on from the creepy people-sucking underbelly to the swath of parasites the beast lets loose to hunt citizens of the ‘Big Apple.’
