Cryptozoological Gift Toy Set
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 16th, 2009
I’m getting so many emails about this from friends that I better pass this along so you all know I’ve heard the news! And you can have the info too!
There is an interesting, colorful multi-set of cryptid toys that is due in February 2009. It appears to be affordable for your cryptozoologists-in-training students, children, and relatives, as well as important for those who wish to collect popular cultural replicas of cryptids.
The cryptids represented are Bigfoot (Sasquatch), Nessie (resembling a classic Sea Serpent), Mothman, Chupacabras, and Jersey Devil.
The Entertainment Earth is selling the product, and websites like the Topless Robot are spreading the news. Here’s the product description:
This Cryptozoological figure set features some famous creatures that most people have heard of, but few have ever seen. Are they real or are they just figments of an active imagination? Each set includes five 1 3/4 to 4 1/2-inch tall, hard vinyl creatures: Chupacabra, Jersey Devil, Bigfoot, Mothman and the Loch Ness Monster. Bring them home today!
If interested, the recommendation is to pre-order for the February shipment, as they may sell out.
Thanks to JM, SW, and others sending me the alerts.

Yep, I’m ordering that.

I feel sort of like a geek, but heck, it comes with a Jersey Devil.
That’s just cool.

Thanks for the heads-up!
