They are at a pawn shop (incredibly) he said he could do better but probably not good enough.  He hemmed and hawed and wouldn't give a "reduced" price, so I left.  Seeing them was pretty cool
I did get a Castle Frankenstein vs Wolfman in NM box for $5 though

Were they sealed and case fresh?

No, they were boxed, but opened and not painted

These are the full figure ones, then, not the busts.

Even in prefect shape, that's quite an ask. The Creature, because people often pay a lot for Creature stuff I could see possibly fetching that price. The other two, not half.

Well, don't encourage 'em! Talk it down, if anything. "Creature? Are people still interested in that?"

I doubt it, so I keep offering to take that stuff off their hands, clear the Creature clutter.
