Super 7 "Official Universal Monsters Thread"

[Mike Scott]

Got my Invisible Man Soapie replacement. 

Does it have the liquid in it?

[MonsterBaker666]

Yep.  This one didn't leak.

On ebay presently. No Universal Monsters copyright or reference to his being part of the collection. However, it is licensed via Witch's Dungeon, which is ran by Hull's estate/relatives. Are we dealing with another lapsed copyright like Metaluna Mutant? How is this available here, but no mention on Super7's website? Seems bizarre, but here it is.

Nice looking card.

The card artwork only emphasizes the poor toy likeness.  It reminds me of the Bea Arthur look of a certain Bride of Frankenstein figure.

[Anton Phibes]

Of course the card art is the selling point of these somewhat overpriced doo dads, but that's why i bought the others too, lol.

Yes, odd that there's no mention of Universal anywhere.  Could be that Universal just doesn't really care anymore about these lesser characters.  Might take more money to fight for the rights than they'd make in profits.  Odd it's showing up on ebay and not on the Super 7 site (yet??).  Not a fan of the smoking jacket / bathrobe, but, I'll still get it if it shows up on the Super7 site.

Did the glow in the dark Metaluna Mutant figure ever show up there? I saw those at Target recently.

[MonsterBaker666]

Super 7 released 2 glow Metaluna Mutant figures.  A blue glow one released on their site with a slightly altered card and a yellow glow one on a Remco ste card that is the Target store exclusive, not available for sale on the super 7 site.

Ok, that explains that one. Target Exclusive.  I wonder if werewolf of London will show on their website, or if perhaps he too is an exclusive of some sort? hmmmmnnn?

No, it's on their general wholesale site.

[Anton Phibes]

Thanks, Shannon.  So I assume it will be available at every retail who carries such.

[MonsterBaker666]

So far Werewolf Of London isn't on the Super 7 site.  Possibly (hopefully) soon as some retailers like Amok Time and Entertainment Earth lists it as an August release date.

[Anton Phibes]

From what  I gather, retailers are getting theirs early.

[MonsterBaker666]

I would have thought Super 7 would want most sales directly to themselves.  Tho oddly,  if you order a book from Bear Manor books it takes forever for them to send it, but order the same book via Amazon...zippo it's there in a flash.  Then when you finally get your book from Bear Manor...Amazon shipped it!!!

We'll see if Super 7 does add Werewolf Of Lobdon to their site.

Good news for me - I got their SDCC Godzilla with train exclusive figure.  Very nice.

In case they don't, that's why I linked the listing. I asked the fella/outlet selling about them and he stated "Super7 hadn't even gave clearance for pics of the officially finished figure to be posted at online outlets yet, and then the next thing I knew they were invoiced and mailed. It was weird."

I am gonna go out on a limb and say it might be part of the ports fiasco inbounding and unloading product backlog/log jam. At last I am getting Werewolf of London, and he might just be the last we see of Unis Reaction entries.
