Yeah. That's what I thought. Ridiculous prices.

...and who doesn't?

Well to be fair... it's a $5 towel with an image of the Creature on it costing another $10 to print in a limited run and then an enormous Universal licensing fee tagged on and then a profit built in from Super 7 and then an obscene profit from a smelly guy who stood in line for 4 hours to buy the towel and sell it on eBay.  'Merica!!!!

There are a few at $90 free shipping. Not that i condone supporting scalpers but $90 is a bit better than $150+

Looking forward to more Worst!

A few things that I heard from the Boodega (I know someone who went and spoke with someone who definitely knows):

Attendance
There were at least twice as many people on the opening night this year as there were last year (I went last year and there were a lot of people). This year there was a line all the way up one city block and down 3/4 of the next block before it even opened. There was apparently no small degree of interest.

Boodega Exclusive Reaction Figures
They look WAY cooler in person than in pictures. They actually look amazing. I usually don't like that kind of weird paint scheme stuff but they look like candy monster art.

Future Reaction Figures
I know they are making at least 2 of the Reaction characters on your list as part of UM Series 3 and I'm almost certain that at least one of the others is in Series 3. I've only only heard of three of them so some of the others you listed may be included as well. They are also in the early stages of working on a Series 4 (but of course that completely depends on how Series 2 and 3 sell). I can't say the characters quite yet because then people get sued and they don't get made. That would make me very sad.  They likely won't be showing the sculpts until Toy Fair because the want to have them finished before showing including card art.

Super Soakies
The Super Soakies are still coming.

Monster Puzzles
The back of the Creature puzzle box says "Collect all Four" and shows pictures of Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy in addition to the Creature. I believe those as well as the Creature puzzle itself will be in wide release this fall. I know the Creature one will be for sure.

Creature Towels
I'm pretty sure these will be sold out. Sorry. Keep checking their website after Comic Con but I can't imagine those aren't gone. Everyone was buying them. Then again, everyone was buying everything.

Thanks very much for all the info!! A series 3 (and 4) leave me hopeful! As do the Soakies!

By any chance did anybody say when Series 2 Reaction will be coming out?

I'm going to wait till the con is over.

I don't think they'll be as late as last year. They're further along at this point than they were on Series 1... but sometimes Chinese factories don't make things easy.

Mars attacks...Topps cards or Tim Burton flick? I love the one, hate the other.

Mars attacks...Topps cards or Tim Burton flick? I love the one, hate the other.

As far as the preview pic i saw, tops cards. It didnt have a prototype of the figure, just art from the old cards. But in reaction figure form i'm not sure the figure would look too much different no matter what source they went with. At least the card art will most likely be more appealing than movie stills.

[Anton Phibes]

It appears the puzzles are simply the art used on the cards and the prints in puzzle form. No Wolfman. Dracula, Frankenstein, Creature and Mummy.  Hmmmnnn...decisions, decisions....
