Astoundingly, it seems Mego is releasing a Creature FTBL figure plus...

Im a little bummed Frank has combat boots and Dracula's lined collar.    Why niot the black KISS boits like the 8"?

Like the dark hands on the new apes,  Mego makes some head scratching decesions.   

Do you have pics?

Morning, noon, or night, Anytime . . . . the count may strike. If you're caught you have to linger, Cause Dracula may bite your finger!

Not great for me but I'll still get The Creature just as one off.

The prototype Drac looked beter IMO.

After further inspection this appears to be a scaled up version of that terrible "Pee Wee Hermen" Emce Drac head.   Im really fed up with Mego reusing those sculpts.

Picture is tough, looks like Abe Zapruder took it from a  grassy knoll.
Frankenstein is a million times better than what they showed originally-- be nice if he had some bulk and yeah what's up with the combat boots?   Dracula's outfit is pretty impressive, I'll hold judgement on the face until I see a better pic and then I'll judge the hell out of it.   Creature still looks cross eyed.

I'll grab Frank because at 14" tall he will tower over my 12" Batman Mego figure.   Not a completist so every one that looks weak saves me money.   They are just toys, guys.  I know that hurts to hear for some of you but move on, spend some time with your kids and enjoy the Summer weather.

They are just toys as long as they charge toy prices.  When they get into collector pieces prices, I demand more of the likenesses.

I think Frank looks a little emaciated, too.  But, I'll probably get him.

But aren't these toy prices?   I wouldn't give a kid a Hot Toys figure to play with nor would I expect to find one at Wal*Mart-- but Mego ain't Hot Toys.

Toy prices ain't what they used to be. A "Mr. Potato-Head" costs 20 bucks!

That wasn't directed at any specific product line - Just a statement of general policy.

Cheaper to purchase a bag-0-potatoes.

My Mr. Potato Head was just the attachments.  Mom supplied the potato.

It was kinda wet and sticky after a while.

And McDonalds is cheap fast food but if it's prepared incorrectly you don't just blindly accept it.   Frankenstein is wearing the wrong boots.  Thats like accept8ng Batman with a leather belt instead of utility. because it's a toy.  Wrong is wrong.

I know this may be  hard to hear but not all of us have kids......by choice..
