Or do they?

They've been selling those likenesses for over 50 years. Did I miss a lawsuit? No Chaney ever created the WM makeup. If Universal is giving stuff away, I'll take The Creature!

I'm just noticing that the Rock Rebel WM pin only has a Chaney copyright. Maybe they have an arrangement with Universal.
When times are dark, don't consider art to be merely a distraction; rather, think of it as a lifeline-  Neil Gaiman paraphrase.

Didn't Bela Jr. have something to do with getting past Universal stars families rights to their likeness on merchandise or something along those lines.

I think the way he gets around Uni, is in the costume. As long as he doesn't use the Universal "jewelry", a tux is a tux and a cape is a cape.

The Rock Rebel Wolfman, Mummy & Phantom pins all list only Lon Chaney Entertainment. Dracula just Bela Lugosi and Frankenstein, Bride & Creature are all Universal

This Rock Rebel wallet only has a Universal Monsters TM on it.

I think the Chaney Phantom has fallen into public domain, so all they have to do is secure likeness rights.  Wolf Man is a stumper though.  I figured they still owned him.

Everyone I see nowadays looks like they are dressing as the Phantom.

Come to think of it, most of them are sporting longer hair, too.

The movie has been PD for a while, that's why they never include it in any of the DVD sets. I thought, maybe, they had TM the face for merch, though?

I thought something had changed recently since Chaney Phantom merch had suddenly stopped happening and all of a sudden Universal started making Rains Phantom stuff, which I don't think I had ever seen merch for previously.

We got some of the Keshi blind boxes at work.  I got 2 of each wave.  Got a Bride, an Invisible Man, a Phantom, and a Masque of the Red Death! 

Pretty happy.  Gonna nab some more soon.
