    Series 2 Universal Monsters are here!

    Super7 has done it again and I was stunned by the announcement Series 3 is already in the works!

    This has to be the greatest monster packaging art ever. Even trumps the Remco Mini-Monsters for me.

    They do look great but I find these things a bit overpriced for me.

      I'm all in, they're gorgeous.

      I recently heard that they are seriously close to another Apes wave, not sure if that's true but i trusted the source,

        It is true...I've messaged back and forth with Ed Repka, who paints the card backs. He's working on them now.

          I like these, I was a little surprised at no-cape Phantom and another Creech, but they all look good. As noted, who can beat these cards?

          I'm already wondering about wave 3 lol:

          *Son of Frankenstein
          *Hunchback of Notre Dame
          *Mr. Hyde
          *The Creeper
          *The Ape Woman--she finally deserves a nod
          *Daughter or Son of Dracula

          I'm sure we'll see a variant mummy, Ardeth Bey, or The Creature Walks Among Us, but I advocate variety.

                Thanks! I bought an extra Red Death, but otherwise I'm keeping these carded and opening my Funko versions.

                  They did more/cool/monsterific re-packaging recently at SDCC too… quite a good run they have cookin'!

                  It's Ed's work really makes these and the Apes special and it's great that the S7 team values the art.

                    Absolutely! I was lucky enough to get a set of the signed lithos from last year. I got matching set #2.
                    When I saw them I had to have them. Probably spent more than I should have but they are just so gorgeous.

                      Those all look really nice. Super7 does their best work in the Reaction style.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        The card art is fantastic, wish we could see the backs too. I hope my local comic shop gets these since they had the first wave for sale.

                          I gotta get Drac, Frank and the Bride for sure. I was lucky enough to get my carded Creech from Series 1 signed by Ricou Browning himself!

                          Also nice to see Lugosi's likeness used here. And note the "Bela Lugosi as Dracula" title. Bela Jr. wins again!

                            I wish they had more articulation for their price point, though. I'm going to pass, until they offer some newer characters...well, if they do.

                              These are gorgeous but my local comic shop sells these for $25 a pop which I can’t justify for a 3 3/4”.
                              I’ll pay fifteen tops.
