Super 7 "Official Universal Monsters Thread"

Says "Bela Lugosi" on the sticker, so it has to be licensed by Lugosi Ent.

Oh, yes it certainly is. That's why that is the only sticker with an actors name as well as the monsters name...but I don't want to get into that.

Oops! I forgot I ordered it from Entertainment Earth. Now they say they won't have it till June. Hopefully early!

If your outside California you may be better off ordering direct from Super 7 depending on your total order $ amount and if you have a discount through EE. For example, if you ordered 2 flats (one of each series) you would be better off ordering from S7 to most areas because the sales tax from EE exceeds the S7 shipping cost. If you order one flat the cost is probably about the same if EE is offering free shipping otherwise S7 direct is definitely less expensive. Direct S7 orders shipped this afternoon.

I'm not a proponent of one over the other, I just did the math on it yesterday so it's on my mind.

I pre-ordered from EE. $102.95 w/ tax. I'll just wait it out and hope it isn't too much longer.

I really want one of each of the Keshi figures. But I didn't want to go all in on two full cases. I was just going to order one pack from each series so I'd be guaranteed two different figures. But I gambled a bit and ordered to packs from each series. Here's hoping I get four different figures and only have to rely on eBay for the other eight.

Nothing on eBay, yet, but I'm sure it won't be long.

I went totally random and ordered six from each series.  We'll see if I end up with all the same character.  If so, you'll see 'em posted here!

I'll take any extra REVENGE CREATURES you have!    (Open the boxes from the bottom.)

[Dr. Acula]

I started off with just 4 boxes from each series, which I ordered direct from Super 7. They came fast; I received them yesterday. Here's what I got:



A few duplicates; no Frank, Drac, Wolfman, or Creech. Looks like I need to order some more!

[Mike Scott]

Only 2 exact matches, so that ain't bad.

Perfect!  I'm curious to see who I'll end up with.

 The 2 creatures in green are gonna be some of the highest priced on the aftermarket. Supply is equal but demand wont be. I would like at least 1 of the gillman sculpts (in green especially) but i doubt it'll happen. I can see them fetching $20 or more each pretty quickly.

Shame they dont offer them as MUSCLEs anymore. 4 x 3packs would net ya all 12 sculpts at 1/2 the price they are now. Yeah, blind boxes are great for the company but suck for the consumer.

I think the Green Franks will also be popular. 

Not crazy about the other colors.  The Purple is too dark to show detail very well and the White (glow?) is funny looking.  I kinda wish they had stuck to the industry standard of Blue, Green, Red and Yellow - with the White as a chase figure.  The Orange is OK.  I wonder why they chose the colors they did. 

If these sell very well, they may offer them in other colors in the future in the time-honored spirit of "never give up on a sculpt until the market has been saturated and the collectors exhausted."
