With the images surfacing of Lon Chaney as the Screaming Werewolf, it seems one way the new Mego can work with likenesses is in fact to make deals through the estates of the actors and not through direct licensing of Universal Horror. If this means getting some unique offerings, then I think that makes for a nice "work around." Besides Lugosi as "Broadway Dracula" and Lon Jr. as "a Werewolf, not the Wolfman," what might we be able to see through similar inventive steps? Personally, I'd like to see the John Carradine Dracula, and his look in the two house films was repeated in Billy the Kid Vs. Dracula. Also, if they can work with Sarah Karloff for the rights to her father's image, I'd love to see a Baron Victor Von Frankenstein from Frankenstein 1970. That would give a very distinctive looking version of the mad scientist as well.
