CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON REBUILD

[mickthepin]

Especially for a hologram that doesn't have much detail and some would say looks more like a green mummy that the Creech.

Thats a bit exy for a holo

If it was an exact replica no worry's

Approx: $445 at today's exchange rate.

I have seen this in the flesh.
BEFORE we knew it was 'the' replica , my mate and I laughed at how GOD DAMN AWFUL the particular 'green blob' was that we were looking at.
THEN we were advised we were looking at a repro.
It was truly tragic 

I wouldnt pay ONE buck for it

Beautifully understated.
That substitute holo price is outright extortion 
For that kind of coin, I would rather undertake Hoopstar's idea and build/adapt a full mechatronic model driven from the existing motor/cam plus servos.
When my holo eventually fails, I problably will . . .

I have seen a green Creature Toy placed inside with the right LED light facing onto the hologram toy and have seen results so close, u wouldnt even know. But it did take a good 3 to 4 hours of mucking around. If it meanssaving some money, why not experiment. (how about a pink or multi coloured halo just to be different (disco creature.lol  )
The reproduction that Daz (Cow Corner) used on his CFTBL before he sold it cost only a few hundred and it was also very good. From the USA from memory.

I think some people place too much importance on the hologram, its only on a little bit during gameplay and if u blink, u always miss it. For $445, it would want to wash the car and make the breakfast every day for that money. A good playfield and some nice bling/upgrades/mods on the Creature make for a far better investment. Hasnt CFTBL come up in price. A few years ago, u couldnt get any more than $1800 to $2100. These days, they seem very liked indeed.

Certaiunly a nice looking a machine thats for sure.
