I can't do B&W stuff when it comes to figures.  I don't know why, really.  It just doesn't appeal to me.

The only time I do b/w if its the only option available. The movies may have been filmed in black and white, but in life they were in color.

Found Regan and Jet Jaguar at Target and the NECA Halloween 2 set at local comic book shop.  :)

I've wanted this piece for nearly half a century! Now I can set up my very own Epic Universe Monsterland in 1/9 scale!!!!

More affordable than the Mego playset.

Looking for the Wolf Man and that new Mummy too. I'd like to get a Lugosi Dracula figure, but I didn't like that original packaging. I hope they release another Lugosi with updated board.

Great set of Mego's and I was wondering if the new darker Creatures body looks so different to the head and hands at it appears in your picture? The first release seemed a fairly close match for colour on the body suit to plastic parts but all the pictures I've seen so far look a little different on this newer version.

I also have all these figures and Wolfman and can't wait for the Mummy to arrive :)

Never say never and all of that but, given the open statements Mego Corp employees have made regarding their difficulty in dealing with the estate and subsequent cancelation of the Lugosi 14 inch Dracula, it's highly unlikely there will be another, imo. Did you ever see the second release, with the cape lined in red? The card still uses the "Mark of the Vampire" image, but no longer in a circle and without the Target mandated horizontal color fields. Here's a link with a good photo (I know nothing about this seller).

Hey Ian,

Not to speak for Geezer, but the new release of the Creature does indeed look in person pretty much as it looks in the photo: head, hands, and feet are darker than the jumpsuit.

Best,

Shannon

Thanks Shannon, it seems a shame that the shades of green differ so much from the plastic to cloth parts as it didn't seem so noticeable on the first release. The 14" also looks to have a more similar colour throughout although I'll have to wait for mine to arrive to see how it looks to eye.

Still great that we have mega creatures though so can't complain :)

Here are some great photos of a production example of the 14 inch Mego Creature from the Black Lagoon.
