You could very well be right, but what makes you think they'll make non-glow monsters on the Remco cards? So far they've only released GITD versions like that, and don't think they have any other types announced.

Maybe he's thinking this way, Creature is the most noticeably different from the glow vs. no glow. Maybe?:

That was what I was thinking although I hadn't actually noticed that the other releases were GITD for some reason. It feels odd to me that Neca would only release the carded Remco style creature as an exclusive and not give everyone the chance at it in some form carded but maybe I'm giving them to much credit.

I guess we'll all find out in time.

Neca and McFarlane like to squeeze every drop of revenue they can from their sculpts. So it may be they see release sans glow. Time will tell.

As does Super 7.  How many variants of their Universal Monsters have they come out with??

Speaking from experience, Creature merch moves so many more units than the other monsters.  If they're smart they will use every possible avenue to get product for him out there.

Same! Very surprised as it said August which usually would be October for them

Enjoy them peeps, they are things of beauty that 10 year old me would've probably begged my granny or aunt for til the cows came home with each release. ADULT ME JUST BREAKS THE LAND SPEED RECORD EACH TIME ONE IS RELEASED. Then grabs a sandwich and a coke afterwards.
