I've been waiting for photos and packaging (if any). This "blind packaging" crap is getting old! If you want something particular, you have to buy it from eBay, at 3 times the price.  :P

These retailers are getting smarter. They know scalpers will buy a lot of them and sell on EBay.

OIC "Bag Clip". Yes, you could clip it onto a bag, as long as the bag has a loop of some sort. You could also clip it to a key chain. Neither of which I'll be doing with mine. (Just bought one from eBay. Thanks, Adam!)

I thought the eBay seller was saying that they were intended to clip to the kids' backpack zippers as a "pull".  That's where I got my name for them - from his listings.  (I mis-read his listing.)

The eBay scalper I stole the pictures from has them early.  The Amok Tome announcement says, "Coming December".

Just got an email that mine has already shipped.  (Wonder how he got his so soon?)

Maltese Cross.  (Looks more like a German WWI Iron Cross.)

Probably too many tiny pieces to make the fancy snowflake-looking pattern Drac wears in the movie.

Looks like they used flash - did you?


The little purple "Horrified" game piece Creature looks all kinds of shades depending on the lighting, too.  That's why it was so hard to imagine before customers had them in hand.

I think the answer lies here, in the first image. It's not Rains. It's the Chaney Phantom. Just with a mask. I don't know why they made the change. I wonder about that.
Also notice that originally there was gonna be the Metaluna Mutant, before they changed it to Dr Frankenstein.

I ordered the popcorn bucket on Thursday through universals website, price as usual is crazy with shipping. Called and inquired how to get the B&W Frankenstein screamer since it was a park exclusive, they have no way of obtaining this for me they say. Universal only has a merchandising unit through the Orlando park (Hollywood park no website for merchandise.) Its not listed for sale on the Orlando website. So can not order it. Any know something I don't about how to get one. Im not even going to check Ebay Im sure that would be an arm and a leg.
