NECA HAS OBTAINED UNIVERSAL MONSTERS!!!!

[YoungestMonsterKid]

I'm excited for the Mummy one. I did not have "Neca does a Klaris figure" on my Bingo card.

I'm sad they didn't preview a single new Hammer figure.  Hopefully they at least plan on doing more Lee and Cushing characters.

 I think they underperformed. Best Buy clearanced Dracula for $14.99 before BBTS even got theirs in stock.

On another note: mom and pop shops are the first to get Metaluna mutant Ultimate Neca figure. He's out. Start looking.

I'm still waiting for my Kemp House Invisible Man from Entertainment Earth. Never received the B&W Bride Monster from them either but scored one at Target last week.

We still have October where they may reveal more horror figures.  Keep your fingers crossed folks!

And in October, New York Comic Con. I was told a number of SDCC exhibitors didn't receive their planned convention materials in time for the show, so hopefully NYCC will have an abundance.

If I remember correctly, the past two years NECA has put out those updated "checklists" in October, which often feature surprises. So hopefully we'll get sneak peaks at some new things!

If you are in Kentucky, Heroes Realm has Metaluna Mutants in stock. I have mine in hand. Nowhere, on this box, anyplace that I can see is a "copyright" for Universal, or anyone else for that matter. Did this film slip through the cracks and they forgot to renew the copyright?

I believe that's the case. I remember there was discussion of that back with the Metaluna Mutant figure from Super 7, since it also didn't reference Universal (from what I remember)

You member creckly.

Wait, This Island Earth is public domain now?

The latest DVDs (like the one in the Imprint "Adventure Collection") are c. Universal.

The film is not in the public domain.

I see. By the way, I just saw the copyright free Super 7 Mutant at a comic store. That's really odd.

NECA has the "Imperial" Monsters up for pre-order now-- it looks like they're only selling them in sets?
I ordered one.  Love this take, all new head sculpts too.
