    Bad Monster News

    In a Q&A Diamond revealed this nugget:

    DSTChuck: Adam, we have been showing the monsters line a year ahead, so you can look forward to the Mole Person, Jekyll/Hyde and Hunchback for Halloween 2013. For Halloween 2014, we plan on Creature and Son of Frankenstein, as well as the Van Helsing figure you have seen pictures of. While it is an original creation, we feel it really fits in the mythos and works well with the line – it’s our thinking that something like that is past due. For 2015, to be honest we have not decided yet. I think we are done with retro figures in this line, and I’m not sure which banks we’ll do after Wolfman and Bride, but we’ll see. Glad you like the line, hopefully we’ll have lots more for you over the next couple years.

    and:

    DSTChuck: Richard, I think we’re done with retro, and I’m not sure where monsters will go after Son and Revenge, but it is not the economy or the line getting axed, it would be more a matter of us thinking we’ve done all the characters in that realm that we think can support an action figure line. The line has done pretty well for us, but more than that, it’s been amazing for all of us that loved these movies so much to be able to make products based on them.
    Bleah, I was hoping for one more wave, these were brilliant.

      Guess I can just pretend the Invisible Man is on my shelf. I figured this was coming.

        Major, major bummer...I assume we're still getting this year's wave, (Phantom and Metaluna Mutant...) Heck, we just saw packaged figures a week or 2 ago....? Should we start a petition for 1 more wave? 1 more wave of 4...? I can't imagine them NOT selling... Hunchback, Invisible Man, Mole Person & Mr. Hyde...? C'mon Diamond / EMCE.... do us a solid & give us just 1 more wave of 4....

          Thankful for what came out, dismayed that this may be the finale for this line.

            I'm confused--are these the remego Emce monsters, or the Diamond solid figures w/ diorama?

            From what they listed, and release dates, I thought the latter.
            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.

              ^Sounds like they are talking about more of the all-plastic 7" figures coming, and the Retro/Mego line ending.

                ^ aha, both. Bummer!

                I'm a bit miffed at another Creature & Frank with no Inv. Man, Kharis, or Countess Dracula. And why an original Van Helsing--no rights to van Sloan?

                  I was really hoping for four more remego figures, that would have made a perfect set IMO. But I feel very blessed to get a Phantom & Mutant.

                      Yeah, this sucks. But, hey, still excited to get the Phantom and Metaluna.

                          was really hoping for an invisible man,that would've been something but they came out with a good number of monsters so that's that.

                              This is sad news. This line is arguably the best of all remegos, hands down. I guess we won't get those other wish list characters, but am grateful for what we did get.
