I fully intended to not buy any of these, as they aren't my thing at all. But the more I looked at them the more I liked them. I stopped at a Gamestop by my work at lunch and the kid had just put out the only box they had (so a fresh box of 12). They were only $4.99 (I expected them to be $6 for some reason). I bought 7 of them. Got Dracula (candle), Frankenstein (without flower), Wolfman, Mummy (this was my only double), Bride, Invisible Man (regular version). Not bad for a random pick of 7 of the 12.

I don't much care for the alternate versions of any of them. I do want the Creature bad and I'll find the Mole Man and Phantom somewhere I guess. I think I'll seal the box's back up and give them to my son for Christmas. He'll think he had the greatest luck in history of the world (he has no idea they come in blindbags inside the boxes).

How nice of you!

Found the Drac w/out candle and standard Invisible Man online for a fair-ish deal I leapt at. doubt any stores near me will hold a fresh case just so I can cherry pick it. The clear Invisible Man isn’t 100% necessary but I really do want that Mole Man.

I agree! When I first saw the announcement on these figures I thought "eh, maybe I'll get em", but now I really really dig em! They look great with the rest of my figures!

Went to a couple of Game Stops today. One didn't have anything. The other only had five boxes left. I risked it and bought them all. One Wolf Man, two Mummies, and two of the exact same Dracula later, I decided blind boxes weren't worth the money or effort. So, I reverted to Ebay. Just ordered Frankenstein, the Bride, Invisible Man and Creature for $50. Which is still fairly exorbitant. But I'm guaranteed not to blow a wad of cash on figures I already have.

and I can wait until the hype cools down to see if the prices for Mole Man, Phantom reduce any. And I'll get the variant Frankenstein and Dracula eventually. But they're the two I'm least concerned about.
The boys around here call it "The Black Lagoon"; a paradise. Only they say nobody has ever come back to prove it.

Ya know what's really odd about these and me: I hated the Sideshow Big Heads. Wanted nothing to do with them. i didn't want the Kubriks of Universal either. The first "Little Orphan Annie" random monsters I wanted nothing to do with. But this batch....I dunno, I like them for some reason. I just got The Mole Man in the mail today, and when i took him out and set him on my desk I just thought "Who's a cute little subterranean monstrosity? You are, yes you are, cute little mole person want a treat?" hahahahahaha! I've gone mad I tell you...mad!!!! Wonder what effect Wolfman will have on me?

Yeah, they really are well designed.  Love 'em!

Assuming you paid $5.00 ea., you got 3 different monsters for $25.00, or $8.33 ea.

I reverted to Ebay. Just ordered Frankenstein, the Bride, Invisible Man and Creature for $50.

That's $12.50 ea.  So, which was the best deal?  ;)

Kinda depends on the odds of getting the figures you bought.

I see B-I-N 1/72 Phantoms are listing around $50 right now.  One open bid Phantom is up to $29 so far.  Glad I don't collect him.

I was only going by what he got in this particular deal.

I'll bet if you bought 10 blind boxes (for $50) you'd get a Phantom and have 9 to sell!  :)

I already thought about all of that. But I already went to the two Gamestops that are even close to me(and one of them isn't actually close to me). The farthest one didn't have anything, so I don't know if they'd already sold their whole box or never got them. But the guy at the second Gamestop said people had been calling the store for the last two weeks about these things. So, I have to use my gas(I have an SUV) and time driving long distances for little or no return. It's more worth it to me to eliminate that middle part and put my money towards getting exactly what I want.

On top of all of that, I really don't feel like going through the hassle of selling these things(I've already got enough toys sitting in my garage I need to sell). Especially when my doubles seem to be the least rare, least desired of the whole set.

The only thing that would have made buying a whole box worth it to me, personally, would be if I got the Phantom out of it. But it's too late for that now.

But, hey, if someone is willing trade a Mole Man for a Mummy and a Dracula, which seems unlikely, I'm up for that.

I am going to go out on a limb and say there will be another series of these. They seem to be selling well, and since the first set has no Metaluna Mutant, I could see a series 2 coming about. As they are caricatures, I doubt any actor licensing is required. As such, I could see Werewolf of London, Dr. Frankenstein, Ygor, Metaluna Mutant, Creature Walks Among Us, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Lon Chaney Phantom, Mr. Hyde (with a Jekyll head as the chase variant), Dracula's Daughter (repaint her as a Dracula's Bride for a chase Variant), Monster on Campus, Frankenstein Monster in fur vest, and many others eventually being candidates. I cannot believe I actually like these little doo dads. ::) ::)

With a couple of exceptions, Funko has never done any of those characters in any of their UM collections and I don't see them starting, now.

*IF* they did a second set, who would be in it?

Creature from “Revenge” with chains
Creature from “Walks Among Us”
Lon Chaney Sr. as the Phantom
Lon Chaney Sr. as the Hunchback
Metaluna Mutant
The Monster from “Son of”
Werewolf of London
Kharis Mummy?
Mebbe a different pose for the Wolf Man?


Edit: Didn’t see the list above mine. Doh!

But if these are selling for them as well as I suspect (they got me off my wallet....a miracle) then they can't just make 12 Frankensteins. Plus Metaluna Mutant usually makes the grade these days. New territory. They did a Claude Rains Phantom, man....hope springs eternal, dang it....DANG IT....KHHHHHAAAAAANNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;)
