    Universal Monsters - Retro

    The more I see these, the more I am in awe of the overall packaging. Just a fantastic looking set! Probably my favorite set for 2012, now that I have had time to really evaluate it. I am going to have to break down and pick up a set or two. Would love to have a set opened.

            the only thing I think is weird is they gave Drac flesh colored hands and the pale white face,other than that they are aces

              They're exceptionally well done all around, no question. These and the Zica Buck Rogers are my fave re-megos.

                I have the ZICA Buck & Tigerman coming to me shortly. They look fantastic!

                  yeah, get all 4, they look great on the shelf with the Graveyard Zombie and Barnabas Collins.

                    The Universal Monsters EMCE retros are some of the most fantastic figures in the last years. I own some of the Sideshow Universal Monsters and i have to say the Retros just as good as the Sideshows, maybe even cooler.

                    Dont think twice, buy the Monsters

                      I finally got my Dracula and Mummy for Christmas and I agree that the monsters are terrific. I also have a lot of the Sideshows and I got the Legosi Dracula for Christmas last year. This may be the start of a new tradition. Maybe Nosferatu next year?

                      Thanks to all who worked so hard on these (Dr. Mego and Brian L spring to mind) and I can't wait to hear the next two.

                          I was wondering: I have two Dracs, and they both have a cape lined with red on the inside, but the collar with the red on the outside (so the reverse).
                          Is that "normal"?

                              Mine are this way, too--I assumed it was some confusion at the factory.

                              Perhaps it can be remedied in another run?
                              WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.
