I concur. DD discussing things like a John Carradine Dracula in 1/6 makes my "interest barometer" tick up several readings. Martin coming back around to chat is awesome. It's one of the things I like/liked most about DD.... and the time I spent slinging paint for him. The conversation. The enthusiasm. The insider  info being shared. Ideas for figures we would like to see. Sharing interest in the hobby that brought us all here to this place.

Real life issues have been getting to me a bit. I haven't been as enthusiastic about my collecting as I have been in the past. At the very time I could use a bit of good old fashioned "monster kid"-ness, focus and interest have waned a tad bit. Primarily because I feel that I am spread so thin these days,lol. I am hoping DD can change that. No one else seems to be bringing anything of note out save for a few smattering of items here and there. Mezco's Myers/Halloween 1:12 certainly has a wow factor.....but there isn't exactly a ton of stuff coming from any other venue. Apparently we need another Monster Craze of the 1960's.

Anxiously awaiting whatever information/conversation Martin chooses to share here. Like a traveler through a desert searching for a refreshing oasis. 8)

It is the enthusiasm that brings to life future horror figures. Also when these lifelike figures are up for preorder it's only about proximately 4 weeks that they are shipped out, not like other manufacturers a year. So our anticipation is filled quickly and another happy customer😀

I agree. I am getting tired of this showing a figure that will not be released for a year. In some cases, it drags on for years.

Without question, a world without Distinctive Dummies would be a very dull one for horror & sci-fi figure collectors.  DD gives me that same excitement (twice a month, when releases are announced and when I get my figures delivered) that I had as a kid seeing the Aurora models and Remco monsters stocked on the shelf at my favorite toy store.  It truly is the only consistent thing we've got going for us right now, so god bless you, Martin & crew.

Has anyone started getting the last pre-orders in? They usually start to pop up just around the time the next newsletter hits the in box. Just curious if anyone has theirs yet? :angel:

All orders were shipped between Tuesday and Friday but guessing Labor Day may slow some down. But all will be with you soon :)

Great news and can't wait to see the Mego offering up close and personal, I know it won't disappoint!  ;D

Can't wait to see what the next email brings us as well, always a highlight of my month.

Oh Lordy....my Cushing 7 Golden Vampires arrived today, and....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my second favorite DD 12 inch figure.

The first prize goes to a tie between Theatre of Blood/Salem's Lot.

The Cushing rocks. I wouldn't fence sit long if you want one. It's sure to be a big gun later.
