got my Universal Monsters today!

[puckace]

Those pictures are so sweet. Very well done. Just like the entire Universal Monsters line.

[mikey1974]

yeah,i certainly hope we get more! so many more to do...as an example:

Series 3: Phantom of the Opera and Bride of Frankenstein
Series 4: Invisible Man and Creature from the Black Lagoon
Series 5: Quasimodo and Dr. Frankenstein

i also wanted to say,the Dracula kinda fills a childhood void i had...

there was one toy i was obsessed with getting back in the early 80's - Remco Dracula! i love Drac,always have,he was always my favorite of the Classic monsters...

that said,my parents absolutely refused to buy me one! they simply wouldn't...i remember standing in this old department store here in town with it in my hands,and they wouldn't buy it, but WERE willing to buy me the Mummy! figure that out!

so i always wanted a "mego-esque" styled and scaled Dracula in my collection...and this one more than made up for it,with better clothing and tooling,but a much closer look to Lugosi than the Remco one ever had...

Nice photos! Brings out the spirit of the Universal classics!

I wish I could show you what we are working on now.

Diamond Select may decide to show something at NY Comiccon,
but I can't promise anything. From what I hear, they have been
pleased with the response to wave 1 and 2, so hopefully they
will want to whet the retailers appetite before showing them
at Toy Fair.

[mikey1974]

that's okay...just knowing you ARE working on something ( more?) makes me happy!

Awesome news Paul!! That monster line is one of the best ever... if not THE best.

[mikey1974]

since it seems Series 3 is likely,wonder what 2 figures we'll get? personally,i feel if anything is a "lock" ,it would be the Creature...be interesting to see how they would do tthat...a one-piece costume/suit with perhaps some overlaying,sculpted rubber or plastic pieces?

as far a a second figure....my gut tells me Bride of Frank,though i think i'd prefer the Invisible man first, with the Bride saved for any potential Series 4...

[MIB41]

My thinking is Creature and Phantom. Would be so cool if we can get Dr Jekyll!

[mikey1974]

damn! never thought of Dr. Jekyll!

1st 2-pack, Jekyll and Hyde?

YOU BIG TEASE!!! Great news Paul . . can't wait to see, hear, whatever!

[PNGwynne]

Phantom (please!!!!!) & Gillman. Monster's Bride & Quasimodo. Inv. Man & Metaluna Mutant. And Jeckyll//Hyde is a great idea!!!

These are wonderful--I hope the line is a continued success.

(I was going to suggest Mole-Man, but the Mutant is just soooo much cooler!)

I dig this series so much. I've bought some of almost every re-mego line that's been released for the last couple of years, but I haven't bought the complete series of ANY line. Except these. In fact, not only have I bought all four characters released so far, I've bought multiples of all four characters released so far! How many waves can we expect? Since this line is doing so well, and is so popular, would it be a good or bad business decision to increase the count to 4 figures per wave? I only ask that cause I count about 7 or 8 Universal Monsters still to do. Is there an expiration date on the license? Also, I'd love to see Hammer Monsters and characters continue this line when we run out of Universal Monsters....

[mikey1974]

i'd say increase it to 3 per series (like the 6" figures)...4 might be too much and clog pegs....

Metaluna Mutant is a great idea too PNG!

i'm kinda basing my thoughts/predictions on thinking they'll want to do the "bigger" names first,before going into somewhat lesser know characters...i figure if we get at least 2 more Series of these, Creature,Phantom,Invisible Man, Bride are the most likely...

then,i think the next group would be Quasimodo, Jeckyl/Hyde,Metaluna Mutant,and maybe Dr. Frankenstein....

[mikey1974]

Paul,you guys (or DST) ever think of making some SDCC exclusives,or other store exclusives, of these?

B & W box-set of Dr. Frankenstein, the Monster,Fritz,and the Bride in some type of collectible packaging would sell well,i think!
