Loch Ness Monster or Stretch Serpent? Or both? Awesome Toy's new figure pre-order!

Taking initial inspiration from the Stretch Serpent (aka Cecil The Stretch Sea Serpent), released in 1978 by Kenner as part of their Stretch Armstrong line, Awesome Toy's "Nessie (Loch Ness Monster)" (ネッシー(ネス湖の怪獣)) soft Japanese figure obviously also calls forth elusions to the famed cryptozoological beast of the Scottish Highlands. This 4-inch tall figure is available now for pre-order, with the two versions pictured being offered for $30 apiece: unpainted green (above) and unpainted flesh (below). These should be shipping in March, so expect many online sightings to appear around then…
