By now you've either seen Cloverfield, or decided you didn't need to see NYC destroyed yet again. But with a sequel on the way, this monster just isn't going away anytime soon. To be sure of that, Hasbro has now created a Cloverfield monster toy (photos are after the jump for those who haven't checked this guy out on the big screen yet).
This is some bad news for Barbie! The 14" tall monster features authentic sound, 10 parasites and, yes, a Statue of Liberty head accessory. Thing is, it costs $99 and doesn't even look like the real monster.
Check out photos of the toy after the jump, and while you're at it, here's an I Am Legend action figure (accessory: Sam the dog!).
