Yay! I'm excited for the Actual Universal Wolf Man! Whoo! My hope, with the Son of Frank, Frankie...is that we may also get a Bela Lugosi, Ygor at some point too? I would love that (I know a lot of you monster fans would too...it's one Bela's best roles IMHO)!

Well, we can thank ME for the announcement on Dr. McCoy. Allow me to explain:
For about 5 years, I've been seeing the original Mego Dr. McCoy at a resale shop. Price $38.00. (Also a Cornelius, same price.) The good Dr. has been locked up in a case, so I never asked to see it up close.
When Mego came back, I thought there would be a good chance of a new McCoy release, so that helped prevent me from purchasing the resale shop McCoy. But when years went by with no new Mego McCoy, I started thinking about resale McCoy again.
Early this January, I won a whopping $20.00 on a scratch-off, so I decided to spring for the resale McCoy! I went to the resale shop to get him. As the clerk was retrieving him from the locked case, I actually thought to myself, "Now that I'm paying $38.00 for this old Mego Dr. McCoy, Mego should probably be announcing a New McCoy some time soon."
AND WAH-LAH!!! Now that I own that original Mego Dr. McCoy, Mego has indeed announced a new version!
YOU'RE ALL WELCOME!!!
I'll get the new version. He'll join my new Spock and original Spock, my original Uhura and my original Scotty. (I have bought all the available new Treks except the "Formal Attire" versions.)
By the way, at the resale shop, I also looked at the $38.00 Cornelius. He's got his clothes, but he's all broken up inside. No shoes, either. I'm glad I didn't purchase him. I will get the new Mego Cornelius to replace my long ago broken and now missing Cornelius. My original Dr. Zaius broke too, but my older sister put him back together for me, though he's loose and can't be posed.
All great news on these new releases. Now if I could only find them! The Crystal Lake IL Walmart near me had been emptied out after Christmas, but recently they had two original version Hannibals. So whatever other stock came in with them disappeared immediately. I'm at that store at least once a week.
I hope a Young Frankenstein version of Frankenstein's Monster is released eventually. Yes... "Pu-in-on RITZ!!!"Comment

Why does MEGO take so long to reveal product photos? It's frustrating pre-ordering the figures on BBTS and never knowing what they look like until pretty much when they come out.Comment

Went on the Universal Monster Army site tonight, and came across what seems to be pics of the carded upcoming Universal Monsters lineup - FRANKENSTEIN, BRIDE, SON, THE WOLF MAN and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. The photos are a bit blurry, but it's nice to see what they'll look like.

Dr Mego said a few weeks ago that the wolf man was a repop of the emce version. I like the screaming werewolf version better.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

Loaded up my BBTS Pre-Orders, but wish I could have seen the head sculpts. Hell, I don't even know if it's Hal Jordon...but I guess I can always cancel if it isn't.
