    So far it's just the first three, on the spectre toys website, they are asking for a vote on subsequent characters.

    I was really elated to see Adam at SDCC, one of my favourite characters I doubted that Spectre would think he was worthy.

      Did anyone actually purchase Barnabas Collins at SDCC? I have yet to see pix of him in the packaging or any detailed review. Thanks,

        I just got an E-Mail from Entertainment Earth saying my Dark Shadows werewolf was "back-ordered"....At least I think that's what it says..... under "status" it says "one item on back order"....... does this mean that it is currently sold out through Entertainment Earth? I ordered it through Entertainment Earth because apparently it helps out the Mego Museum if I order it that way, but should I order it through Spectre Toys' website instead to insure that I get one? Anybody here an expert in this area? Any advice would be appreciated...Thanks-

          Never saw the series, and not really a fan, but these are phenomenally well designed. Even though a bit is lost on translation from resin to poly, they are still amazing.

            I got my Werewolf last week, he looks pretty cool. If anyone wants to see pictures I can try and take some a little bit later tonight.

                These items are just not yet in stock. They'll be shipping soon. (BBP answering on behalf of our friends at Spectre and EE).

                    This message goes out to Zemo and Palitoy. Someone on the thread had mentioned that they wanted to see what the packaging looked like for the figures and I must say that I am very impressed with all of it! I bought these two at the DS Con this year, last month. Special side note to Palitoy: I don't want ya to think I'm steppin on all the awesome, hard work you did on the site I just wanted to share the pics with a member who asked to see what the packaging looked like so please don't take it the wrong way, but here are the pics!

                      That packaging is perfect!!!! I can't wait for these to arrive. The Quinten prototype looks incredible. I recall him being a werewolf but don't recall him ever changing into one.

                      If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                            Yep...that's why I preordered two of each.

                              The artwork was done by Harold Shull - former MEGO art director - who
                              also did the new art for EMCE's Night of the Living Dead and
                              Star Trek lines.

                              The card layout was done by my partner Joe Sena.

                                Tracking down the original art director is how you make the packaging perfect. I wish I could have listened in on that first phone call to Harold Shull. He must of thought he was being pranked.
