    Any Chance in Heck we'll ever get Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein Figures?

    I love the Universal monster line, was thinking the other night how awesome would it be to have Wilbur and Chick(Abbott and Costello) figures in this line. I'd love a whole line of figures from the movie. Glenn Strange's version of The Monster, variations of Chick and Wilbur. Abbott with Wolf mask, The Boys with their Uniforms on and Dr.Sandra Mornay, Joan Raymond,Mr. McDougal and Prof. Stevens figures. Both Dracula and the Wolfman already exist since they were already done.


    Heck I'll Take any Abbott and Costello figures.....lol

    The EMCE Frankenstein Monster is supposed to be Glenn Strange, so he's already done too. It'd be nice to get an older Lugosi Drac, but I can use my Flattworld version. I'd be in for this line as well, especially Wilbur and Chick in their uniforms.

      From what I've read, A&C are not available.

        I think Exclusive Premier 9" was the only company that ever did A&C figures

        They were limited editions (Who's on First) with baseball uniforms

        Love A&C but the figures were not my cup of tea

          We've already got Vincent Price's Invisible Man.

              I'd love those. Too bad we'll almost certainly never get them.

                The Bud & Chick customs are such a great idea.
                If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                    Love A & C. I have an animated model that does the "Who's on First" skit. I've had it packed away, may have to pull it out and set it up again.
                    It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                      That's a Shame......I'd Love to own A&C merchandise......it's no wonder modern kids don't know who many of the older comedians are. Our generation was exposed to them all the time and even if we knew they were from another time, the work was still funny..

                        I went to a nearby theater to see Oz yesterday, and was surprised to find they had named their snack combos after famous entertainers. I was even more surprised to find out that a medium popcorn and 2 medium drinks was called...the Abbott & Costello! I ordered it!

                          I have NO idea what your talking about. Surely Universal wouldn't debase the 'stein franchise with lowly post-war comedians. Humor has no place in horror, for proof of this watch [if you can] Scream or I know how lame this movie is.

                            Ummmmmmmmm you do know that, this Abbott and Costello movie actually brought back the Universal Monsters into vogue...they were completely out of fashion by the time this movie came out. Universal quickly repackaged their films and re released them, and then they found their permanent home on late night TV for years after that....and ask most guys here if they would make those figures from this movie they'd buy it in a heart beat.......

                            Also what made the movie work was the Monsters played it straight while Abbott and Costello went for the laughs....it is their most beloved film.....and Sorry they are NOT Lowly Post war comedians Please do you homework and read up on them.
                            Abbott and Costello were Universals top comedy act DURING the war....

                              Abbott and Costello were actually the highest paid actors in the WORLD back then, so there was nothing "lowly' about them. Still in a class by themselves.
