Just wanted to share my customized DSTs. Repainted the monster's head and jacket, as well as  Woflman's face I made a bit lighter. Also sculpted this Lugosi Dracula head out of sculpy, and painted it as well. The eyes were a little difficult and it didn't do so well in the oven, but I like it better than Twilight/Snarly Dracula.
"What kind of animals are there around here that can kill people...?"

Really loved these modifications! Dracula makes this set. I wish you worked for DST.

I went to my local TRU yesterday and still nothing at all. So I caved and ordered the Mr. Hyde and Mole Man from their website. It sucks because that way I have to pay for shipping. It is unfair if something is exclusive to a store and they don't carry at least 1 of each item and then tag you for shipping. It should be free shipping if you have to go that route. I will check my local comic shop for the cloth figures. They usually get them. If not EBay here I come. My wife got the rest through Monsters In Motion so that will save me a lot of the hunt but I found out she did not order the Hunchback so I will get that at the comic shop. They have one on the shelf. I hope the banks are easier to find.

That's the thing with TRU. EVEN if they do get them it's like 2 of each figure it seems. I found the whole pile at mine. 2 each of the retros and only one left each of most of the series 4 figs. Once I left all that was left was a couple retros and a Hunchback for the lost soul after me... :(

Do they have a "ship to store", like Walmart does? They ship it to your local store and you pick it up and pay no shipping.

Is that a b/w Metaluna Mutant? Don't they know the movie was made in color? (Sideshow didn't.)

Their web site offered no ship to store because it was sold in their stores. Go figure!

I like Von Helsing's weapons back pack...
A positive comment about DST Van Helsing may incur the wrath of "Helsing Hater" Mord.  :laugh:
ALWAYS MONSTERING...

It's a cool figure, just not a movie accurate one. I'd rather have movie accurate also but I'll still buy this one

Looks like he's wearing a Star Trek Next Generation uniform with blue jeans and Uggs.

Which is fine, for the first person to get there!  :P
