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.
