On the card, anyway. And he (Lugosi) is the only one with his name on any of the cards.

Chaney has his name on the Phantom card. Must be an obligation from their estates.

My predictions for series 3 (if its even happening)

Son of Frankenstein
Creature Walks Among Us
Werewolf of London
Hunchback

And the last two are up for debate I guess.  Would be awesome if Super7 surprised us.  Would LOVE either Ygor, Karloff Mr. Hyde, Ardeth Bay, Dr. Frankenstein, or Countess Zaleska.  But any of those seem very unlikely.

But they could also cheap out...maybe give us a fully clear Invisible Man variant or another repaint.

I hope that bride has better legs that the last one.


CCC.

If the SDCC exclusive is anything to go by, she does!

I wrote Brian Flynn asking about another toy line and mentioned how excited I was for these. He said that series 3 is "already in the process".

The paintings by Ed Repka are really fabulous! Hopefully they will offer more prints of these or better yet a calendar of this great artwork! It could be the modern equivalent of the Don Post calendar!

As of July they were working on sculpts. Creature Walks is definitely one of the sculpts. I'm almost certain Ygor is one of them as well based on a conversation with a guy. I was told they will probably wait until NY Toy Fair to show them because they want them complete. Ed Repka has been working on the art already as well.

Need an update on those Soakys!

When I was at the store in San Diego, the manager said that they were still on the itinerary, but he didn't give me a release date.

Well, of course not.  You wouldn't expect them to TELL anyone!

It would ruin the element of surprise, Adam.  Don't be a party pooper.    ;D

Ooh!  Maybe they could package them in blind boxes!

You know, for the extra Fun Factor.

I am stoked! YGOR WILL LIVE FOREVER!

i have said it before, and I will say it again: if ever there was an heir to Basil Gogos's monster crown: it's Repka. I am floored by his illustrations on thes little boogers. if he did a Werewolf of London...oh my. :o :o :o
