New Universal Monsters in 2014 from Diamond Select

[Mike Scott]

Did you accidently pour vanishing creme ' on the figure?

That stuff's not real. You've been watching too many cartoons!

Here's a picture of mine.

That is BY FAR the best likeness out of all the cloth figures.  It really captures the invisible man perfectly.  They really hit the nail on the head here.

Ha, Ha, Ha! Suckers! It's just a picture of an empty shelf!

Can I say, duh?!?! Lol.

Got all my favorites from this series...wasn't easy to do seeing as ALL the TRU stores i visited were only allotted one case of 4 figures EACH! I have NO complaints about these figures and am hoping Diamond Select reconsiders a new wave next year!

Great display, Gasport.

How can anyone not love this?

[Mord]

I actually love all 8 of them (even the goofy Dracula). I would have included the Mummy in your collection. It's one of the most screen accurate of the bunch.

I wish the packages were a bit more collector friendly say held together with a staple as o0osed to the heat weld. Minorgripe though

[Mord]

I guess that makes some of us buy doubles (DST wins).

You can cut through the welds with a sharp knife and open and reclose the clamshell package.

I know this is probably not going to happen, but if somebody wants to build the Munsters stairs, but doesn't want to buy the Uncle Gilbert toy, I can send you the Uncle G. stair parts. I only bought the Gilbert toy and have no use for the stair parts.

New pictures have been posted of next year's 5th (and final) 7" DST figure assortment. To be honest, the close-up of Son of Frankenstein bears no resemblance to Karloff. It's either a generic or bad sculpting. Very disappointing. The Creature fares better but the super articulation is the only thing that improves on the Sideshow version. The Van Helsing is....well, what's the point? I'm pretty glad these are the last ones. Though I kinda wish they would have ended on a high note with this years incredible assortment (7" figures and Megos). This year's Phantom may very well be the very best Universal monster figure I've ever seen. I'm going to buy a second one today.

Ended before arguably the best Creech fig ever? Surely you jest  I bought a second Phantom too, one of the best monster toys ever made (there I said it)

Check out the new pics from NY. The Creature is super-poseable but looks a little like the Toy Island one. The Sideshow 8" is less poseable but better sculpted (and more realistically painted, IMO).
