I don't use credit cards, so I don't have to worry about that. If I can't afford it, I don't get to have it.  :(

VERY cool! Glad they're finally doing Wolfman.  Is that Invisible Man a real costume or made up one?

Their 12 Days of Christmas 5 for $100 sale is interesting. Vincent Price is offered among them. He has barely had any distribution at regular retail. Weird.

I forgot to mention it until now, but VP was available at my location-ish 2nd and Charles two or three weeks ago.

But yeah, if I had the money I would take advantage of this. $20 each is very close to wholesale price for a lot of smaller shops.

I found him at the grocery store. Not even kidding. Meijer's. Went in for Vanilla Coke, went home with Vincent Price,lol.

And not part of the pre-order for that wave, which makes me wonder if it will be an online or convention exclusive (or both).

After missing out on all except the Two Walmart kids, I finally saw some Wave 2 at Target. Grabbed the only Phantom, and left the piles of Vampire Girl and Devil behind. They were hidden behind other figures on a shelf by someone, and I moved them all to the front. I just wonder if the NECA rep that stocks these left them in the back room all this time or if they sent wave 2 out late.

A heads up on this topic in case you don't look at all postings:

Walmart is restocking it's Bloody Disgusting Neca shelves (electronic/dvd dept) with Ben Cooper Kids-

Nosferatu
Capt Spaulding
Krampus



John Pertwee

and the Glow wave, but all my local stores got 4 figures. Two Frank, One Vampire Girl and One Phantom.








John Pertwee

At this point, if I don't get anymore I'm fine with it. I was dragging my feet on these because I didn't think I would ever get a Frank, and now that I found a glow one the line is pretty much over for me. I might grab a Wolfman or a Spiderman if they ever do one because I wore that costume two years in a row back in the day. I definitely won't chase them anymore. I will have to see it in person at a store.

MrDark1

My Walmart does not have the glow versions, what's up with that?

I need the Frankenstein, as I never found that one on shelf.

Oddly, just a week before they restocked the Neca, my Walmart pegged up the old Mego shirtless Frankie, Glow Nosferatu, and Hammer Lee Mummy...go figure indeed.

The non-glow version of the Frankenstein's Monster costume was never distributed to big-box stores, it was available on through specialty or direct from NECA.

On the Mego, Wally World ordered them due to a current dearth of available product.
