And listed at 4 1/2 inches tall..
I like the Monsters figures, but the Elvis stuff on page one is terrible!
Cool! New Creature toy!
Hey Jeff! You gonna sell these?
Good lord! The b/w ones are a hundred dollars more! Guess I won't be getting any of those!
That MUST be an error on those B&W prices! Looks like they got the decimal point moved over too far...10.99.....109.99!!!! Looking forward to seeing these monsters in the store....

They musta got it wrong on all of them, then?
It's probably a typo. If not, they'll be sitting on cases of unsold stock.

Fer sure! I'd paint a $10 one grey before I'd spend $110 on it!

Awesome find! Thank you, my dear!
Actually, those b/w ones are the chase versions, so I'm pretty sure that they mean $109.99.
But, like I said in the other thread, these are awesome and I can't wait to get them. I hope that they will show up in some major retailers.

:D
Personally, I don't know why they are selling the
chase figures. Where's the fun in that?

It was discussed by Brian Mariotti(Funko owner)at this years Funko Fundays.
And depending on sales, we might see 12" & 20" banks.
Eventually the price of the chase pieces should drop to $25-$30.

Or maybe you'll be able to walk into a retail store and find them for $10.
I'm not crazy about "silver screen" variations. I'm definitely not willing to pay extra for them.

I'm not even crazy about big-head stuff. I'll probably get a Frankenstein one someday but that will be all.

Oh! I thought maybe there were some proto pics up somewhere. Hope they do make them!
I like the designs on these guys, especially the Dracula one. Hopefully we will see those larger versions.
I just heard back from my Funko rep and indeed, the master case is 24 pieces, 23 of the color version and 1 black and white version per case.
The UMA price will be $10 each plus actual shipping - $40 for the set of 4 (plus shipping). Based on the wholesale price, that's pretty bare bones. Anyone interested, please email me at jeff(*at*)cjclassics.com or send me a PM. I'll be ordering one case of each so the first 22 interested parties will get one. Thanks everyone.
Creepy Jeff

Check this response from my Funko rep regarding these appearing in major retail outlets:
"These are not going to any major retail chains.
More questions? Let me know!
Thanks so much!"

Jamokes like me, and gemini collectibles, ma AND pa, Harry's All You Can Eat Classic Monster Emporium. Not: Walmart, Kmart, Toys R Us, Walgreens or any other store you've heard of. >:D

That is really weird... Why? TRU and Walgreens have both been on the UM bandwagon in recent Halloween seasons. Why not this year?
I don't know what life our monster friends will have if this trend continues.
Not an expert, but it could be that the price point is higher than the large chains would want to charge for something like this (which they probably see as strictly an impulse item).
And they'd want them in the stores in time for Halloween (which was probably two weeks ago)

I can see their release being too late for most retailers for Halloween, that is true; but you'd think that at least one retailer would want these guys.
