The "Paper People" are all $25. The Fiend glows in the dark, as well.

Wow!!!

I know, right??   At ten bucks a pop, I'd just about pay admission for those card backs alone!  Gorgeous!

I'll be needing at least two of each.   And here I thought ReAction was DONE with UM.

The 6 universal monsters reaction figures including card art...

Ok, the art is phenomenal. The colors are vivid. The figures look good. The character choice is great. The art on Mutant and Creature is the same as the bottles of soda. The Mummy is the same as the Boodega art print. Assuming artwork we have seen on other Super 7 products will be used for figures and vice versa....if a set of glasses is made using this art, I would snag them. Puzzles too.

Now, using this same logic, we should probably expect to see the following character choices for figures, and this artwork used **Hopeful** (sorry for Dracula and Invisible Man low quality, but you get the idea):

I love the Wolfman art especially (duh, right?). But if they are waves of 6....I would love to see Werewolf of London and Phantom of the Opera in his normal regalia make up wave 2, second batch of 6 with the four I just pictured. If these are 10 each as another commenter suggested, that's cheap, as these things tend to run15 each these days. I will have to buy two sets. One for the grandkid I will have one day and one for me,lol.

Where is that price estimate coming from? Super7 charges $15 each for most of their ReAction figures, and Monsters in Motion has them listed at $14.99.

I think he the poster erred. Although I did get my Nosferatu on clearance at FYE,lol. $15 a pop is ok with me, as the card art is stupendous. Love that Wolfman....green shirt and all,lol.

i am not gonna kid myself though, the cards are what I am buying these for. The whole retro figure thing is a blip I am ok with indulging in because they are comparatively inexpensive....but the figures are primitive (as they are deigned to be.). If we could've gotten this artwork on Sideshow's figures back in the day....those thigns would be even more paramount in their significance than they already are.

Incidentally, if we are looking for someone to lay claim to the Classic Movie Monster Illustrator crown left vacant by Gogos....I nominate Ed Repka. His artowrk is stunning. Great color choices. Much the way Nathan Thomas Millner (sp?) has grabbed the crown to 80's and modern horror. I like Joel Robinson's art also. He kind of covers both. But I digress....Ed Repka rocks.

The artwork is great, the figures are more of the same. Easy pass. It's not the money, its just collector fatigue. From now on, everything has to be spectacular before I lay any more cash down.

I can understand this to some degree. One can only have just so many of the same monsters before we go: "I got enough if this stuff",lol.  I have to get them though. The card art alone makes me want a set for myself. The idea of giving a set to a grand child I will hopefully have one day compels me to get 2,lol. If they do play sets, I may indulge in those as well.

Seriously?!   How much more spectacular can you get?   These are the greatest UNI monster figures I've ever seen...they captured the Remco mini-monster and Famous Monsters nostalgia 1000%

I'm buying at LEAST three of each.

The Creature head-sculpt looks much different from the previous Reaction Creature. Almost reminds me of the REMCO Creature.
