I saw these on Instagram several days ago and just assumed they would be posted about be someone here but unless I missed it there has been no mention. Killer sculpts on these, hopefully there will be another assortment next year.

Wow, these are as awesome as it gets! Thanks for posting this (I had no idea).
They're great likenesses. It's nice to see Universal licensing all these classic monster products. Thanks, zombiehorror.
Just ordered the Creature! Thanks, ZH! :)
On Black Friday I ordered Michael and Leatherface; I don't think the Universals were available at that time. Anyway, those two showed up yesterday and are of excellent quality so I just ordered Creech, Wolfie, Phantom, and Invisible Man.
I really like The Wolf Man and Creature ornaments. Only problem with the Creature is green ornament against green tree doesn't make for a very stark contrast. But next year, I plan on starting a new tradition of setting up a black "Halloween Tree," and these ornaments would be perfect for that.

I hope they look as nice as the photo. Doesn't say how big they are. I hope they are at least 3" tall.
I realized that the Wolfman and Phantom pieces must be dual Universal/Chaney licenses. Does that mean the lawsuit is settled? I also noticed that only the Creature and Invisible Man ones are on the ToT site, right now.

I missed hearing about these as well. Probably because I never check the "memorabilia" section of the forum. Aren't these considered toys if they're sculpted?
Anyway, I ordered one of each, they look amazing!

It doesn't say, but I'm hoping at least 3".
The Meyers boy is 3.75"
Tip of the day: don't drop these, folks! I dropped Mikey and chipped his shoulder. I was able to glue most of it back together, but these are definitely fragile. In any event, well worth the $20 bucks they're charging. They do look just like the pictures online.

Grabbed photos of Mikey and Leatherface. Note that I didn't like Mike's eyes showing so I painted them in black myself. Great detail on these, especially Leatherface:

Blurry photo, but here is the window box for the Trick or Treat ornaments.

Love it. The ornament looks great in its window box. Might have to get these (at least, Creech).

My ornaments arrived just before Christmas! They look awesome! Here's some photos with size comparisons to the Super7 figures...

Years ago, I picked up the DVD set that included the mini-busts. Here's Wolfie for comparison (the bust is quite nice, but I like the sculpt on the ornament better):

Hey, how come the Creature box doesn't have a nice photo on the back? Anybody have the IM ornament?
Check the spelling of the word "Creature" on the bottom of the box. ;D
That is just the standard art for the UM's now. They would have probably used it for all of the ornaments but for the fact neither Chaney nor Lugosi characters exist in that art style. That being said, I would hope we would eventually see all of the other monsters, including Dracula, since they have that license as well. These are the same monsters we got on the cutouts. Would love to see the others, but the box art is just standard protocol for all UM releases. Weird to not have all the monsters represented, but Uni made its bed. Now it can lie in it.

I know, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have used a photo of the Creature on the back of the box.

They could have, but they probably had to pay more for that. Uni's great like that. ::) It could also be that they were going with this box art design originally and then shifted gears later, and Creech suffered from being the first one out of the gate. Would love to see the Invisible Man box to see what they did there.
Could the Chaney license be the difference? I noticed that Wolfman and Phantom have the Chaney name as licensor (no mention of Uni). Creech is licensed exclusively by Universal. Maybe they impose their crappy artwork on all their new products. It sounds like something they would do.

None at all? Universal owns the WM character. The Chaney estate just owns what little of Lon's face shows through the makeup. I could, maybe, see then arguing PD for the Phantom.

Its true. Both Wolfman and Phantom boxes have zero mention of UM copyright. Just Chaney Entertainment. But Creech and Invisible Man have it.

I got three of them today. As stated earlier, IM and Creech are uni. PTO is Chaney. Did not get the Wolf Man. Hopefully soon. These are beautiful. Really hope to see the rest this coming year.
These ornaments are fantastic. I had them shipped to work and a co-worker even commented how amazing they were when he saw them on my desk. I sincerely hope they come out with the rest. Crazy good sculpts.
This would get expensive real quick, but I'd love to see them expand their Twilight Zone license to ornaments. Would kill for a Serling!

Did you have them in the box, or do they stand on their own (like busts)?

I doubt they stand on their own. There is a window on the box so you can see them. I don't keep them at work I just had them the day they arrived.

Yeah. I went back and read through the earlier posts.
I like the way TOTS has you sign up for their newsletter. You enter your email and are taken to a page where you enter your email again and put in your first and last name. Then they send you an email with a confirmation button to let them know it is really you and not someone screwing with you.
Where I used to work, we would get bundles of 100 or so postcards to send in for catalogs and samples. We used to fill out all the postage paid ones for people we didn't like and check the "Please Call Between" times during the most inconvenient hours.

They have some horror based rings (I think about page 87) for Michael Myers, Leatherface, etc. Size 9-12.

Wonder why they're waiting so long to put Frank out? The others came out before X-Mas (despite the photo that says they are "New for 2020").
