Here is an excellent representation of a Universal monster so popular that even folks who don't like monsters love.... Serving as evidence of not only the fatal result of trying to capture indigenous animals from the Mesozoic era but also the hazards of studio politics what with Bud Westmore getting credit for Millicent Patricks elegant monster design, The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) remains one of the most popular monster movies of all time. And this 12 Billiken kit from 1989 serves as an ideal representation of the amphibious human hybrid predicably victimized by profiteering colonizers.
