Not my get
but someone took one of my Kolchak heads and made a doll out of it.
He pestered me for 2-3 years to make Mego heads and finally did. His Skorzeny and Vincenzo look good --I haven't seen the finished results yet.

Found a peg full of NECA Horror of Dracula Christopher Lees today.  I welcomed a nice one to my house.  Just need an Ardeth Bey and a Vincent Price and I'll be caught up.

Great Kolchak sculpt!

Bought the Mezco Tower of Fear playset recently; and ordered the TOTS Goosebumps figure set this morning.

The latest Cooper Kids wave has started hitting around me, so I picked up a Metaluna Mutant and a Visible Man.  Only other I've seen is clown.  I might get that one later, but Wolf Man is the priority now.

I have a set of the licensed wave on order from neca and that hasn't shipped yet and I haven't seen it in stores at all.  Weird.

NECA's distribution is whack a doodle since 2022 to be honest. I can't wait until The Metaluna Mutant is and exclusive to a Vape Shop and E-Cigarette outlet near you!

Series seven? Series six, which you've bought a couple of, is just shipping to retail now.

I don't get the connection, but I am very tired.

It was a joke. The joke being whomever they can get to carry their product first. Meijer got Vincent Price first. Mom and pops got the majority of Universal first. Best buy got Van Helsing before most. The distribution is wonky. Hence my joke about a random head shop carrying MM first, as an exclusive.

If I have to keep explaining my jokes to you, Mike, then they either aren't very funny or you're tired all the time,lol

If anyone likes the Tubbz rubber ducks, apparently some 5 Below stores have gotten Creature from the Black Lagoon mini versions.

While they're all currently sold out for 5B, they made minis of Frankenstein's Monster and Dracula as well.

Creature is the only one that made any sense to me.

I applaud the fact that Universal Monsters ducks make sense to you in any form. I still laugh at the fact that the first modern licensed Hammer items are... ducks. And they made a Curse of the Werewolf one, which no one has as yet unknotted the likeness issues on as far as a genuine action figure goes.

They come in 2 different kinds of packaging. In a tub with a with a bubble type lid and in a window box with no tub (which kinda negates the brand).
