If it's convenient enough, I'll pick up the Nosferatu. That issue of Toy Collectr will also feature an interview with Randy Falk, VP & General Manager of Product Development at NECA, who's passion project this is.

I wonder if they will interview the guy that was making these before NECA took the idea and ran with it.

There were a couple fellas. I forget who the first one was. I know Brentz won a custom award for hi. I painted a mess of them for him.

Still no word on the Frankenstein figure and chair being shipped.

I think this is a very cool idea to expand the line. Although I am seeing a lot of overlap with what Super7 is doing. I hope both companies are friends!

In Toy Collectr? Doubtful, they have so far focused mainly on mass produced items.

People are posting photos of the Monster from Bride that they received today from NECA. Anyone on here get theirs yet?

Also being reported is that wave 2 of the Ben Cooper Halloween Kids is showing up in-store at Target. Photo of the Phantom and the Vampire Girl is on socials.

His name is Alexsander BK Toys.   He was doing them first and they are much, much better than Brentz imo.   I didn't like Brentz versions at all.  Alexander even makes the Tomland style bodies by hand.   They are customs.    They are original from the ground up.
Morning, noon, or night, Anytime . . . . the count may strike. If you're caught you have to linger, Cause Dracula may bite your finger!

I really want the TRON one that he makes. Any idea what he charges?

I passed on most of the Ben Cooper figures, but got the Snoopy version from Super7. Got a shipping notice this morning, which is exciting.

Still no Frankenstein & Chair for me.  No shipping notice, either. 
I logged onto my Necaonline account - no shipping info listed there.  It appears mine hasn't shipped yet.     My previous orders that were shipped have a tracking number listed for them, s
