Creatureplica, the toy world’s
newest purveyor of original monster creations is full bore into their
series one pre-order! As production revs into high gear they’ve
released packaged pics of the Himalayan Yeti, North American
Sasquatch, Louisiana RuGarou, and HorrorHound, and teased a wave of
variants to follow series one throughout 2016.
Creatureplica is an amalgam of
creative and professional expertise headed by toy industry veteran
sculptor/designer Jean St. Jean, in association with
creative/financial collaborators, Jeff Beyers, Craig Deere, and Nick
Epley. The project, spotlighting cryptozoological mysteries and
folkloric beasts, has been in development for 3 years with a
projected ship date of January 2016. The figure line flies in the
face of the current trend toward low detail “retro-style” mini
figures, offering a highly detailed, realistic vision of iconic
creatures with extensive articulation in a range of 7-9 inches tall.
The figures will retail at 34.99, available though their website,
cretureplica.com. Wholesale pricing is also available upon inquiry.
And various websites are running their own pre-order deals on sets
and individual figures.
