    I really like these, I can't believe I don't own a set.

    Part of me wants each monster in a different color lol. Did Marx ever issue painted ones like they did with the Marvel heroes?

          I have the glow versions from the 90s, but never feel like they show the details well. Although the glow effect is great with a black light.

          Anybody ever paint these?

              I had an orange Wolfman as a kid. He looked cool and saw a lot of action with other figures in that scale. I still have him somewhere. I bought a couple of the glow figures but they seemed to lack detail.

                You know, it's funny that you mention it because I've considered a few times buying a glow set and doing an acrylic wash on each one, rubbing away the excess to reveal detail. I was thinking of doing each in a different color, similar to what I mentioned above: Green Creech, purple Phantom, orange Wolfman, blue Frank, yellow Mummy, red Hunchback.

                      I forgot these were being re-released! Wait, does the "Out of stock" mean sold out or have they just not gone on sale yet??

                        I'd say it means the site is sold out, as the 'Bay was sick with sets a few days ago.

                        G'luck!

                          You can buy these cheaper on ebay.

                          A few years ago, someone made a limited run of Marx-style Dracula.

                          They were being sold on the UMA forum.
