Phantom

Doh!

Even though BBTS is a bit higher, I just trust their shipping more than I do Neca's. Ordered up the whole set.

I kinda like these.  Dracula is Lugosi likeness Cool!
I agree with the calls on the others, Frankenstein is really off, I've never seen him sporting the stitches neck choker.
I know these are toonish, surprised Uni O-k'ed this, as it's not something seen in any style guide I've seen.

Probably Phantom. That's the big 8 everyone usually does.
I'd definitely buy a Creature though!

They're neat-- I only have one Toony Terror-- the black robed Crimson Ghost.   It's a fun little item.  I'm not sure I'll get these-- I think they're fun but I am being much more selective about things.   Frankie looks better with the black coat that's for sure, what's up with the Wolfman's moustache?

I dig the Mummy and Dracula

The 7" Wolf Man had the same goofy mustache, they fixed it on the final release but all the production photos (even on the box) still have the mustache. They may just leave it on this toony version though.

I'm stopping with the first 6 released and Monsterizer, I'm sure there will be many happy they're continuing with this line but I only wanted the original tribute range.......although I might have gone for a non-stop creature if they ever released one.

Is anyone besides me getting a "We are doing all these variants because we aren't making any new characters in this series" vibe? It's what happened with Defenders of the Earth/Classic Heroes stuff. They repainted and repacked them a variety of ways then....flatline,lol.

TheMadScientist

I've never collected Nosferatu stuff, so I'll pass on that. I am happy that it looks like we'll get GITD Bride of Frankenstein and Invisible Man. Maybe we'll get more figures after all

That could very well be. Even if they were making new characters, it would make sense to release other versions of existing figures though. I'm hoping we get more fun stuff, but who knows

I really wanted Werewolf of London and Kharis. :'(

Count Zachula

I vowed to purchase at least one of every UM/ Classic monster NECA figure, even if I don't really like it.  I just want to support them so they make more, but also I see it as an investment for the future!

The Orlock is kinda cool but its nothing new compared to the Super7 reaction figure.

What's a "non-stop creature"?
