Just for the record, I only sculpted Dr. Frankenstein.

Unless I misinterpreted the post, it sounds like someone on Facebook found the two packs on the shelf in New Jersey.

I just want the Mego Coin! But the sets, especially this one, look amazing.

Anyone know which 2 packs will be available? I haven't really seen one I'm interested in yet, but if they do a Pennywise/Freddy Kreuger pack I might pick it up. I'd also like to know if there's a backer card for them or separate packaging. Will the regular carded figures be coming out later?

Update: So I just checked Mego's new photo album, and it appears the two packs are literally two separately carded figures in a box together. So, do you think they'll do a solo version of the YF monster with a more traditional costume? I figured they might keep the tuxedo variants as 2-pack specific versions.

Well guess I need to pay off my Wal-Mart card so that when they come availble on the website I can snage them.

The 2-pack is indeed $45. I picked one up yesterday. What a great set! I have the first issue Froderick Frankenstein, but to have them in their "Puttin' on the Ritz" outfits was a great variant. Of couse now I have this version of the creature/monster before the standard one, but that's fine by me. They both look great. I like the blue skin color of the monster. It really pops, and has a toyetic vibe about it that's pure Mego, but also matches what I've seen of colorized art and color stills from the film. Of course the Wilder likeness is spot-on, but the Boyle likeness is great too. VERY classic Mego.
