I tried to watch this movie after this figure was first leaked, but I will admit I was only able to stand fast-forwarding to Chaney's parts. Having said that, I REALLY want this figure! It's a werewolf...and it's Chaney. And it looks nice!

This toy is so cool and so awful and so wonderful. It might just be at the top of my 2018 list.

I think it's a fun toy based on a crap movie, which is like peanut butter and chocolate for me.

[TRDouble]

I'm confused. Is peanut butter the fun and chocolate the crap? I prefer the chocolate; not a fan of peanut butter ...but I'll still buy this figure!

[PNGwynne]

I like this; I'll be a little pickier about a mummy.

[MysteryWho]

I am really hoping we get a Chaney Mummy. The Emce Mummy was a perfect Karloff Mummy, although I don't think it was a licensed likeness. Did anybody ever whip up an Ardeth Bay custom?

[palitoy]

The EMCE Mummy was Karloff and licensed. EMCE wanted to do Kharis but at the time Universal had Karloff and insisted that direction.

The original figure EMCE did had the Aurora head but they got Sean Sansom to do Imhotep.

[Krypt0nite]

There's something that just feels like pure Mego in the Screaming Werewolf (love that name, too). I can very easily imagine buying this figure in the early 1970s.

[MysteryWho]

Oh I see. I'd love a Kharis to go with it, but if we're doing b-monsters how about an Aztec Mummy?

IDK, I never liked the hair on the Aztec Mummy, to me that just throws it off stylistically. I'm not saying it wouldn't be a cool monster figure, though.

But it's just personal taste, I have really set opinions about voodoo zombies vs. ghouls vs. NOTLD "zombies" as well.

The Gorn is a beauty no doubt, hope my local Target gets this guy along with the Romulan, that would be a nice one-two punch pick up for me.

I saw this movie the other night and had the best belly laugh I've had in a while. Any director who dares to place a werewolf on the interstate as a dramatic moment clearly had more than one sip of the good stuff while filming this. I guess I should be grateful he didn't have Lon chase the cars. But what really takes the cake, is the scene near the end where a scientist is pounding the werewolf with every prop he can get his hands on. At point he runs out of chairs, so he goes for... wait for it... wait for it... a pillow. Yep. He actually throws a pillow at the werewolf. Eh... it worked as well as the chairs. Lon had no dialogue in this film unless you count growling and howling. Somehow I find that a blessing. This Werewolf figure is a must-have for everyone. I would consider passing on a hard copy of the movie as a companion piece. The figure has higher production values.

I distinctly remember my friend who discovered this movie calling me and laughing about the pillow.
