    My wallet isn't complaining either

      Does Quasimodo count as a monster?

      Sure, he had monster like qualities, but those were purely physical due to his deformities.

      It'd take a heck of a lot of tooling and sculpting to get him right, plus you have to consider which version to use.

      There's the Lon Chaney Sr. version; the Charles Laughton version; the Anthony Quinn version; and the Mandy Patinkin version.

      I'd like to see Charles Laughton's version of Quasimodo, he was by far the best.

        Hey will any of these Universal Monsters have Glow-in-the-Dark features like the Mad Monsters?

          With all due respect, I hope not unless they are new molds of the hands.

            Honestly, I hope not. I'd rather see something more movie accurate, like the prototypes we've seen

              i loves me the glow stuff, but i'm definitely in the minority, so we haven't even brought it up with the rest of the team. i think everyone's just set on doing a really good mego-ization of the monsters and correcting another historical wrong.

              won't stop me from painting them with glow paint, however :-)

                I'm agree with you on that. Loves the glow stuff but it doesn't make or break these guys for me.

                  and thats the point My congrats to Paul and his Gang for getting the Licence and the guys on the sculpts.I love them.
                  These are becomming more Like tonner dolls or work of art instead of playable actions figures.
                  But on the cost and production side it keeps them out of the hands of Children.\
                  I known I heard from the all the manufactures we'er aimming at the collector.
                  well that all and good , But the collector market is fickel and cheap bas****ers.
                  and they (WE) turned are noses up at hasbro's 40th line of G.I.Joe, and Playing Mantis Capatian Action Because of price gougeing,and Larands cheap cutting 12 inch figures & rightfully so.
                  I just have a bad feeling about these fantasticly done figures.

                    Diamond wants to release each set around September in time for Halloween.

                    I don't think the Hammer films are part of the Universal license.

                        Man, I'd love to see that especially with a "Glows in the Dark" logo on the card.
