As I'm afraid this may have become lost in the main NECA thread, I am re-posting my recent article for Rue Morgue Magazine on NECA's new Remco-inspired Retro Glow-in-the-Dark Universal Monsters figures, along with some photos that I took for the piece.
Hope you like the article and images!

The Target in my area only has the Mummy and Wolfman. Thank you for posting the article.

Same here. I don't think Frank has started hitting just yet.

I'll be hunting at other Target store.
Great photos!
Did NECA send you a set or did you find them in the wild?
I'm down 👍

Thanks very much, I'm glad you like the photos!
Well, I usually pick up my NECA figures at my local comic shop or from Toys 'r Us (we still have them here in Canada), but as I didn't want to chance these ones selling out locally, I pre-ordered them online. But then NECA very kindly sent me a set which I used here. So, now I'll be able to keep a set still sealed in their cards, like my vintage Remco Mini Monsters. :D
I can't overstate how great these figures are. My brother (who is three years younger than me), also used to play with the original Remco figures, so I'm thinking to get him a set as well for Christmas. I'm hoping that NECA will put out the remaining three characters (Dracula, the Phantom, and Creature) in this style down the road.
Thanks again!

Awesome review and pics James. Posting to show how killer these look with the Remco playcase. Cheers

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't link the images here.

You had a page URL. You need a file URL. Should end in ".jpg". Right click on your photo and click "Copy image link".
Rad collection.
