Resin Kit
Issued: 1999
This kit was made available through independent modeler Bill Ayers.
I guess he thought Big Frankie looked lonely all by himself on
the shelf. I found these pix at Buc's
Modeling World.

Here's a great mock-up of what the ad for this dream kit would
have looked like. It includes a great mock-up box.
Thanks to DICEMAN CREATIONS!!
Everybody knows that the Diceman is crazy about the Creature, so it figures that Diceman Creations should have the craziest Creech kit ever made-- the Big Gilluna! Originally conceived & produced by Bill Ayers and sculpted by the late great Rick Wyatt, this kit will soon be available from Diceman Creations! Standing over 20 inches tall, the model will consist of resin & vinyl parts, as well as a length of plastic chain. If you're a fan of the Creature, then this is a kit that you'll definitely want to add to your collection!
Kit availability TBA

Revenge of the
Creature -1955
Studio: Universal
Cast: John Agar,
Lori Nelson, John
Bromfield
Director: Jack Arnold
Although highly regarded by Gill Man genre fans, thematically Revenge is the least interesting of the trilogy. Certainly director Jack Arnold does a customarily good job. He quite effectively generates a pathos for the creature as it is chained up, starved and tortured with a cattleprod, or images of it standing by the pool window and looking out at Lori Nelson. Like the original it was shot in 3D and we get scenes of Gill Man swimming at the camera, prods emerging out the screen and the like. In the original Arnold created a memorable scene shot from underwater of the Gill Man following Julia Adams from beneath as she swims above. He creates a similar scene here of the Gill Man swimming along inches below Lori as she swims with John Agar, mirroring her moves and then reaching up to touch her foot.
The one other aspect the film is famous for is being the first screen appearance of Clint Eastwood. Eastwood has a brief comic relief part as a lab technician who thinks he has misplaced a lab mouse only to find he has put it in is pocket, a part in which Eastwood seems awkward and embarrassed.
