Speaking as someone who wants this stuff as soon as its available, in order to get them off the "forthcoming" list and into my hands, I cant order from BBTS.

BBTS is happy to string you along for months until the item is sold out everywhere at retail and you're at the mercy of secondary market pricing. I'll never order from them again.
ALWAYS MONSTERING...

Doh!

Got my Silver Screen Toony Terrors directly from Neca today: sweet! So glad I got them instead of the colorized versions. Will post pictures... someday.

It is an issue with BBTS or NECA? The wait times with them is annoying, but I'd still rather order from them and know it will arrive in pristine condition.

What's that Frankenstein figure/Bride of Frankenstein box on the second shelf? I believe the box is new, at least...the figure looks like the color Frankenstein from Bride of Frankenstein. I wonder if they're releasing the figure individually too, outside of just the set with the chair.

Red Death and Mutant! The line lives on!

I believe thats the box for the Black and White version without the chair. Already saw a few folks on fb finding him in the wild.

Also I know not too many of you care for the TMNT Monster "nonsense" but I thought these new additions were pretty cool...I guess Krang is a combo of Metaluna Mutant, Robot Monster and Invaders from Mars?

I was just looking at that.  NECA is taking pre-orders.  It is $60.00.

I think you're right. For some reason I was thinking the B&W box was already released, and was different.

I like the Shredder/Dracula figure. It's turned out better than I imagined it would be. 

Not sure about the others (particularly the two headed monster one). Maybe they just did that since they did a second Leo and Raph, so now there are doubles or every turtle. Might grab them too, to complete the line though.

Still seems odd to me they went that route, instead of doing more villains, but oh well.

Doh!

Just pre-ordered the Jaws game and ultimate figures twinpack directly from Neca! The merchandise itself is a bit cheaper than BBTS, but shipping was a lot more ($23 vs $4). However, I'd rather not do the waiting game with BBTS this time around.

I can't believe they actually did the Krang as the Mutant. That's what I was hoping they'd do! All three of these look amazing!!!!!!
