Quoted from AlexSMendes:The "swimming creature" is the good ol' burger king toy you find plenty on ebay for less than 5 bucks, right?
NO!! NO!! NO!! Not even close! But thanks for valuing our item for under $5.
If you ever got the Burger King creature, even though it looks good, it does not fit well anyplace in the game. I think is 4.5 inches tall, and is just to big. I think the only place that fits is next to the snack bar in front of the super jackpot sign, but that blocks the sign. It just does not fit well in the game. Also because of the plastic that it is made of light does not transmit well through the Burger King creature. It just looks like a light in it's belly.
We hand made this creature and it is closer to 3.5 inches. We made 2 versions, and swimming and a standing creature. Ours are made of a light transmitting resin. When they are light up, everything lights up, including the arms and legs, but it is not a bright light, but more of a glow.
When we designed our creature we specifically designed it to match the scale of the swimming creature on the ramp. You can see the legs kicking and the arms swimming, which are positions that the Burger King creature can not move into.

We also specifically designed our creature to look very similar to the swimming creatures that are pictured in a few locations on the game.

On our standing creature, because of the height, it can be mounted nearly anyplace on the game. Nearly anyplace their is a plastic in the game, you can mount our creature.
Our spinning creature does not light as well as the creatures that don't move. On the fixed creatures we can embed lights inside giving a very nice green glow. On the spinning creature we are forced to mount the light below.
It is so frustrating when we spend many, many hours to design an item that matches a game nearly perfectly and we have someone come along and say, that is what you can get on Ebay for under $5. It is because of this that we are not on the forums often.
I am pretty sure you can pick up the Starlight sign on Ebay for under $5 also.
Quoted from AlexSMendes:Well, kudos for the figure! Though it looks like pretty similar to the burger king one, it really looks smaller... and you're right, the burger king creature lights only in his belly!
Thanks.
Here is a picture of the Burger King creature. Much, much different. Taller, different color, odd chest plate, only standing and you have all of the odd looking joints.
