The Cloverfield Monster is Coming to a Store Near You
By now you've either seen Cloverfield, or decided you didn't need to see NYC destroyed yet again. But with a sequel on the way, this monster just isn't going away anytime soon. To be sure of that, Hasbro has now created a Cloverfield monster toy (photos are after the jump for those who haven't checked this guy out on the big screen yet).
This is some bad news for Barbie! The 14" tall monster features authentic sound, 10 parasites and, yes, a Statue of Liberty head accessory. Thing is, it costs $99 and doesn't even look like the real monster.
Check out photos of the toy after the jump, and while you're at it, here's an I Am Legend action figure (accessory: Sam the dog!).

a sequel already? gggeeeeeessshh im so sick of cloverfield.
Yeah, that Barbie has some real competition now amongst the 4-10 year old female demographic.
Girls can use their imagination to give Barbie some parasites. No need to spend so much!
great. are we going to have to deal with gothamist promoting the action figure non-stop (like they did the movie)?
No remake - I want to see Cloverfield: Special Edition where they use CGI to fix the subway station scene, so that it looks like its actually taking place in an actual goddamed subway station. Bet it lost half a star from every NYC critic worth their salt because of that.
ugly shallow stupid
The Cloverfield movie monster looked like a green grumpy turtle. This Cloverfield action figure looks like an angry albino bat.
So that's what the thing looks like. The Bat Spider Rat from "Angry Red Planet." Maybe it's the same monster.

Lame. They obviously didn't want to spend the $11 to see the movie and get it right!
