Check Out The New Universal Lifesize Frankenstein Bust for $450&500

I'd need to be REALLY stoned for that to look like Chaney Jr.

How stoned for it to look like John Carradine?

Why modern collectible companies make limited editions?  Besides to light a fire under collectors butt to buy it faster.

400 of something isn't rare or hard to get, or all that limited really.  400 is enough for almost every Uni monster collector to get one, if they wanted it.   The Don Post Calendar re-issues were around 150 for the most popular characters, far less for others.    IMO for something to be rare the known copies should be around 10.

Just a catch phrase(!), as isn't everything a limited edition? (like the "vintage" argument)

You can make ten copies of something only two people want and still have a surplus. It's all relative, subject to change according to the fickle tastes of the collecting community. There are quite a few people on this site dying to find a color DST Wolfman figure. Thousands were made less than two years ago, but you would think we were talking about an AHI Creature the way the demand is now. In a few months, they will probably be glutting Ebay with no takers.

I have a color Wolfman.  It's so pretty!

I WILL END YOU!!!!

[Mord]

Hey, Blasko, I have one too. You're not cool anymore. You're banned from this site until you get one. Sorry, but we do have standards here.

Is the color Wolfman really that hard to come by? I had no idea he had become a rarity. Does anyone know why? I have all the Diamon Select figures in both color and black and white (which ones were done in black and white so far...) and I had no idea they were that rare.

[Universal_Adam]

We should start a club of people who have the Color Wolfman and not let Blasko in. Neener neener 

[Count_Zirock]

How about people who don't have the DST color Wolf Man because they didn't want it to begin with?

That can be a club too.

In a few months, they won't be. 

[Dr. Blasko]

My God I hope you're right. It really is the strangest thing, because I don't understand why its just THAT figure everyone is having trouble finding. Everything else I have had ZERO issues with. Minimates, retros, all the other selects, but this ONE friggin' figure.... ARGH!

I've noticed this happening with alot of modern toys.   For instance I was getting into the GI joe sized Marvel Universe and could not find Vision.   I saw on ebay how crazy the prices were for such a mass produced item.   I went so for as contacting Hasbro and they said the same amount were produced as much as any other MU figure for the most part.   And he's required to make a classic Avengers set, So I can see how not finding a Wolfman is frustrating when I'll bet a bunch are sitting in a TRU warehouse somewhere.
