The Mad Monster Party Figure Line Thread
« on: June 23, 2012, 07:03:59 AM »
Just for fun I put together a list speculating how each wave might break down if this line goes long enough to do all the characters. You can do it in 5 waves with some compromises. There’s no room for variants (Francesca had 2 outfits. I like her street clothes version where you see her legs rather than the party dress as it would allow for more poseability. Yeth could have a pig head variant and there could be a cream pie face Invisible Man, etc….) and I’m not sure if they’d ever do Felix Flankin since he’s not a monster. I’d like to see the Skeleton Band as a box set of 4 figures so we can get the whole band. It’s only 1 figure with different wigs and band equipment so perhaps it’s do-able? I’m not counting on it though. I also assume each figure comes with another creature from that Baron One Step Ahead song since everyone in Wave 1 does. And when/if they do the Zombie Bellhops how many people here will buy more than one? It is an army builder figure. I’ll get 8 or 12 of them so I have the same number that was in the film. (I did the same thing with The Year Without A Santa Claus to get the 6 mini misers; each figure came with 2.)




Wave 1

Dracula
Frankenstein Monster
Baron Frankenstein


Wave 2

Francesca
Yetch
Monster’s Mate


Wave 3

Jekyll/Hyde (A variant so each can be done just like the upcoming Universal entry)
Werewolf
Creature


Wave 4

Mummy
Invisible Man
Hunchback


Wave 5

It (as a figure the same size as the others just so we can get him made)
Zombie Bellhop
Chef

Felix Flankin


Skeleton Band Box Set


That gets everyone out and the only way we could get It is as a carded figure. I don’t think they could do a large scale one of him. But this is what Playing Mantis did with Rudolph. The Abominable Snowmonster came out at the small scale the first year and then in a larger scale later. I’d like to see a PVC set too very early on so we can get all of the Monsters even if we don’t get them as action figures. Perhaps PVC sets of 3 per set for 9.99? Then they could be good quality sculpts. Just a thought.

I would hope they make a Felix statue much sooner than what you have listed. I would think he should be in the 2nd series. If you recall he is not a human, though not a "monster" he is likely a robot created by the Baron. Of all the kits over the years Felix has been badly ignored -  he is one of the main characters of the movie after all..

There's about 3 threads on these toys already. Seriously, "Search" is our friend. Just because a thread is two months old doesn't mean it's dead. It gets confusing, bouncing between 3 or 4 active threads on the same topic.

I did do a search and nothing came up.

If the thread was active it would be up on the main page. How hard is it to look at the thread where it says "New Posts"?

Lighten up and don't be so cranky. :D

You mean like this one, that's a little over a month old, last had a post in it 3 weeks ago, and came up immediately when I searched "Mad Monster Party figures"?

It didn't come up when I searched. I am using Netscape of a dial up connection so that may have been why but it didn't come up.

Generally speaking, it is best to try to find original topics to comment in rather than to start new ones.  It keeps the boards cleaner and more organized.  Occasionally, if two threads get created for the same topic, it's fine.  But it is both a rule of thumb and common courtesy to seek out old discussions, so you know what has already been discussed and what hasn't.  So if the discussion in an old thread is related to what you want to talk about, just reply there and it will come back to the top.  It's fantastic to see the "old" threads pop up again, because they are filled with insightful information.   

As an aside, the very fact that dial-up is offered in your area also lends to my Twilight Zone theory.  But that belongs in another topic.   ;)

Not only that but they only offer high speed on Route 6. My boss lives on the corner of Route 6 and a side road but they wont service him because he has the side road address. Because of that he's changing his address. They really should use that tax they STILL collect that was begun to build rural phone lines in the 1920's on and put in high speed internet. Instead it now goes to what is called by the government as "the Obama Phone" (It has a website and everything) It's a program to give people free cell phones. Let's work on infrastructure first and do something nice like that only AFTER everything is up dated.
