Luv the new UM line up-and the card art!! 
The Munsters are great surprise, will have to add these to the collection too.
I also collect their silent card figs. so cool they honor these very old, and influential films.
So, Metropolis is getting the silver treatment this release correct?  Yea, Need it!!

Trying to see if anyone posted close up pictures of the Super7 booth. Is no one even at this convention??

Why do we have to depend on fans taking pictures (and making them good ones) - can't Super7 post pictures of their booth on their web site?

Why do they make it so hard to get actual information?

We'll see detailed pictures at Toy Fair. I'm just thrilled that Super 7's owner teased photos of his own stuff  from a comparatively obscure trade show on his personal Instagram account which Super 7 eventually posted. I think that was the point, simply to tease the new stuff before you fair.

Do you really want to know or is this another situation where the messenger is gonna be attacked? I've been pretty much off this board since the racial slur was levied at me but, as you may know, I do love me some monsters and I have been a member here since before it was even here.

Anyway, Adam, quite seriously, are you genuinely (and generally asking) or just venting?

I wasn't aware of any racial slurs.  Hope they were taken down by the moderators.

I just want simple what, where, when, how much and where do I send my money info - with actual pictures, rather than catalog drawings.   I don't care about the race, religion, politics or relative attractiveness of the person who pushes the camera button.

Unless it's Mike - nobody likes him.  (He knows why.)

I know my memory isn't what it used to be, but I don't remember any racial slurs being hurled around. Can you give me a link to that post? I'm not doubting you. I just want t see it.

It's not my conversation but I'll chime in anyway, even though I was attacked for a similar sentiment in another thread-- you guys gotta calm down about this stuff.   They're TOYS.   They aren't essential food items, it's not medicine to keep you alive.   They're plastic toys that remind most of us of things we had as a kid.   Getting obsessive to the point that you're driving around 4x a day or upset because some toy isn't just made and handed to you is insane.   

Balance life, guys, this should be a fun hobby.   Nobody is out to intentionally cause you pain.   I believe Super7's mission statement that they make the toys they wanted as a kid-- and they do a killer job every year with the Boo-Dega at San Diego-- it's worth a plane ticket just to go to that pop up shop.

Naw...

I think it's "Clearly because they hate us."  There's no other rational explanation.

It was around June 30th or July 1 of last year. You deleted the post at the time. I don't even recall who made it or in what thread.

I recall hoping at the time that the person who posted it and those who liked the post were somehow completely ignorant of the past 300 years of world history (I could even argue 6,000 years of world history) and didn't understand how incredibly offensive the post was to 99.999999999999% of humanity. It was beyond disgraceful.

This is very disturbing. Not to push the issue or prolong the pain caused, can you remember the general gist of the post? I can't believe than anyone here would post something like that, in this day and age. Further disturbing is that people would "like" the comment.
