Hasbro Cloverfield monster figure for sale According to several sources, Hasbro will be unveiling their Cloverfield monster figure today, Feb. 15. Two members of Unfiction have claimed to receive notice of the unveiling after they pre-purchased the figure from Hasbro Toy Shop. If this is true, as soon as a picture is posted I'll get it on here.

The Hasbro Cloverfield promotion page announced that the figure will play a soundclip of the monster roar.

Summary: Cloverfield toy monster coming to a home near you!


Hasbro has announced that they will soon reveal the product images for the most closely held secret in Hollywood this year: the Cloverfield Monster. But why wait? Starting today fans can pre-order the action figure exclusively from www.hasbrotoyshop.com.

“Hasbro is very excited to be working with Paramount and Bad Robot to bring to market a piece of the film for fans and collectors,” said Brian Goldner, COO of Hasbro, Inc. “The fan buzz on this film has been terrific and we are happy to take part in the excitement.”

The creature stands a substantial 14 inches tall and comes with the following features/extras:

  • -70 points of articulation and incredible life-like detail

  • Authentic sound

  • 10 parasites

  • Two interchangeable heads, one calm and the other menacing

  • Statue of Liberty head accessory (just for tossing around!)

  • Special Cloverfield collector’s edition packaging


This will be a hot collector's item, and would look great in my room. Over a number of birthdays I built up a collection of about 50 ninja turtles, the Power Rangers set, and plenty of Marvel action figures. I'd like to see the Cloverfield monster action figure tower over them as he did over NYC. Now, if Paramount can work a deal with the people at Fathead.com, that would make one really intimidating room!

They say there's limited number, and they won't ship for a long time, but you can order them know for about $99. Check back, I'll post the images of the toy as soon as they are available.
