This life-size prototype is a pre-production sample which the design company sends out for review and ultimately it is reviewed by the product development department for Universal Studios and perspective manufacturing companies. This is a fossilized paint scheme varation of the standard green version of the creature molded from the original head piece Ben Chapman wore in the 1954 film.

The cast is a hollow plaster shell roughly 1/2 inch thick and is unfinished on the backside. Each piece is hand signed, numbered and dated on the reverse. It has a sturdy wire hanger on the back so it can be hung on the wall or it can stand on the table and has felt pads on the bottom. This unique cast comes complete with a Creature from the Black Lagoon plaque attached on the front.

The paint scheme is a bone colored creature head washed with browns and greens to replicate ageing and moss growth. The Creatures base is painted to look like rusted and aged aluminum with built in rivets. This cast is weighs between 12 and 14 pounds.

Value: $100.
