I haven't found him anywhere.  Even the GOOD Walmart about 30 mins out doesn't have him.

Been to two Walmarts' yesterday and nothing.

Has anyone been able to purchase the colored version of Frankenstein online from any sites?

I'm not aware of the color version being offered currently anywhere but in-store at some Wally's locations, and that includes a lack of wholesale solicitation. That said, this color version of The Monster is part of the "first to market" promotion, so I wouldn't expect it to be available anywhere but a Wally's until end of July, beginning of August at the absolute earliest (and that's probably wishful thinking).

Anyone reading have a NECA wholesale account and a rep they can and will ask about when general availability begins?

I wish they would put it on the website.

If they don't, they'll lose my trade.  I'll simply buy it from Target or somewhere else that advertises it for list price.

I was super lucky to have found my color Frankie at my local Walmart - only 1 there and he was behind some other NECA figure so I quickly grabbed him.  They didn't have a large selection on figures - a couple of Kongs, and some others I didn't want and can't even remember.  And the packaging was pretty beat up. 

Still can't find MaCready from The Thing at Target.  My local target had pretty slim pickings on NECA figures - a LOT of Back To The Future figures but nothing else. 

I looked on Target online and he's listed there, but they aren't taking website orders.  They list what local stores have him - every one is all sold out except one store - 50 miles away from me.

I'll wait until he pops up from online retailers like Big Bad Toy Store.  I have the B&W Frankie on pre-order there as well as the color Wolf Man.

That's probably your best bet.  Most of these are times exclusives thankfully.  I don't know if the color UM will get general release or not, though.

Yeah, my guess is that these will be exclusive to the stores for a certain length of time, then they release them everywhere.  NECA made a Walmart exclusive batarang that's now available for pre-order from other retailers. 

Can't believe these things would be available from Walmart only and then Walmart only gets a small supply of them. 

And it is quite likely that this is only NECA's 1st batch of figures, and more are on the way.  Walmart had a Robby The Robot exclusive from some company, and they flew off the shelf quickly once they hit the stores.  People were trying to find them to no avail, but then a month or 2 later they got in a lot more.  I just saw a couple still sitting on the shelf the other week.

NECA may be announcing some new stuff this Monday. Hopefully relating to the Uni Monsters, but also noticing that "Things" has a capital, so maybe some of that too!

That sounds like figures from Aliens. Mostly.

Probably more figures from John Carpenter's The Thing.
