Who cares what YOU like?  You are only a potential customer.

Marketing genius.
You're right, Adam. Make a product EVERYBODY likes and make sure nobody gets it. Who would have thought of such an ingenious marketing strategy.? I hope nobody else steals that brilliant idea.

He couldn't give away any specifics, but I did hear from Ed Repka today and he confirmed he's currently painting the series 3 Universal Monster card backs for Super7, and that series 3 will be another six figures.

YES!!

YES!!

I hope there's a Werewolf of London and Dracula's Daughter somewhere in the mix.

Well, they're selling a lot of stuff so, objectively speaking, it's working.

Yeah.  Why try to sell more and develop a solid base of customer loyalty?

Masterful marketing.

Some of my wishlist:  Glenn Strange Frankenstein, Son of Dracula Alucard, Kharis, Werewolf of London, Henry Frankenstein, Van Helsing, Renfield, Dracula's Daughter Countess Zaleska...  But I'm sure we're going to get a Hunchback.  *sigh*

The only one I know they are doing for sure, is "Revenge of the Creature".

Good news!!! I'm going to the ESRI Convention at the SDCC next week so I will be right around the corner from the Super-7 store!!!  :)

Bad news!!! All the new Universal Monsters Boodega items don't go on sale until the following week!!! >:(

Now I know how Tantalus felt!!!

They're pretty popular. I think they have.As evidence this is page 86 and counting of posts right here dedicated to their stuff. I'm not even defending them. I'd love it if those creature towels were freely available, I'd buy 4. But I understand their marketing strategy and history proves it works. Convention exclusives are what every company does.

It would not surprise me at all if they did a Creature Walks Among Us. And I'll take a Hunchback as it's never been done in this scale. I would love some Human figures (Van Helsing, Henry Frankenstein, Bela the Gypsy, Ygor)
