Default Cloverfield Monster?

HTS released a 14" version of the monster from Cloverfield. It has 2 heads and 70 (?) points of articulation. It also comes with 10 Parasites.

Everywebsite I look at has the crappy pics Hasbro used to promote the damn thing, but no one....not even the scalpers on ebay have posted pics of the parasites....

Does anyone on here own one? Or know someone who owns one? At 14" tall, I can figure the scale of the monster to Joes, but how big are the parasites? any clue?

Thumbs up Cloverfield Monster

I read a figure review of this online a while back, and for what it costs it's not worth it, some have also reported that you get 10 parasites while some have only received a box version with 5 or 7..
For what it's worth the other review pictures also pointed out the joints are painted differently from the figures body, so he either looks anaemic or just sloppy paint job.. the whole review left me feeling rather blah at hasbros pathetic attempt at recreating clover.. I'm massively disappointed to see the price stand at a whopping $100 too, imagine me shipping that thing over

It did sound awesome to begin with.. but every review i've read so far has said to the contrary..
Cloverfield

^ there are some pictures, including a city scale diorama and stuff on that thread there.. i'd agree with Fengs comment, it's not nowhere near worth $100

I saw pictures of that cityscape dio on youtube. someone took that footage at Toyfair 08. They had one shot of the parasites, but they were too far back to see any detail and they didn't include the monster in the pics so you could get an idea of the size of the things.

I don't mind that the monster won't be as big to the Joes as it is to the people in the movie, but how big would the parasites be? Man, this sucks! I Love Monsters and monster movies...not Slasher flicks (Although I kinda like the "Saw" series) and I would love to see the Joes mobilize to fight something huge that attacked a city. I'd just like to see one film that accurately portrays what would happen. In Cloverfield, the guys were shooting indescriminantly. I would think they would stand off a little more and pour artillary and big weapons on the beast. And they got there TOO fast. the nearest base is Ft Dix and it is pretty much shut down. At first, you know there would be Chaos and no one would know what was going on....but then what? Would the Government destroy a city to kill one large animal? hmmmm...makes you think......

Reminds me of a M.A.S.K. Episode where they battled a big blob thingy

But yeah, Mindbender experiment gone awry or Alien Invaders all fall into the periphery of Joedom me thinks

I was going to buy him for something like an experment gone horribly wrong or moster from mysterious origins but when I saw the pics I thoght no way. Read a few reviews (that only had the press pics on HTS and nothing new) that kind of confirmed my suspicions about it. so even if I had the money sorry. Cut the price down and we'll talk.
