The Mummy looks like John Malkovich.  ;D

The sculpt is the Karloff Ultimate The Mummy figure, so it looks like him, but it's painted with dark lines around the eyes like the Remco 3 3/4 inch figure.

I was a little hesitant at first because Leo as the Hunchback just seemed so odd (I'd much rather have the same Turtle/monster pairings as the 90s figures. That said, I can kinda see how it would be difficult to do a Wolfman/Ninja Turtle mashup in a less cartoony figure. I've read a lot of rumors that they'll do a Shredder/Dracula figure, so I wonder if they'll work Wolfman and Creature in as well somehow.

I can understand that.  It seems like they're doing themed batches but not for everyone, which is interesting.  I was expecting Donnie to be a Mad Scientist to complete the Frank set, but they went in a different direction there.

It's all fun though.  Happy to get them.  Whoever is sculpting them is putting their heart and soul into it.

Target has restocked all versions of the UM releases over the last few weeks in the lead up to Halloween. No sign of the Remco Frank at this point but everything else is there

No Neca/Remco Frankenstein's monster at my Target

Did you see any of the black & white Mummy? Is that one even out yet?

I saw both color and B&W Mummy's at my local Walmart.  Just tossed in a group of misc NECA figures...they just don't care at my Walmart.

I haven't seen anything at my local stores in quite a while. My Target's NECA section is always a mess and rarely stocked. Pretty surprising since NECA's headquarters is only a little over an hour away from here.

I am waiting on Dracula. Repaints don't interest me in the least. Bring me the Lord of the undead. Preferably before Halloween. 8)

From whom? BBTS? They always get everything last. I hope we get him sooner than January 23. Ugh.

I don't think Silver Screen has ever sold particularly well.  Not sure why companies still produce it.  I get that it's an obvious choice, but Super 7, with all their variants, hasn't even gone that route... have they?  If they have, I haven't bought any.

They've had b/w variants of the ReAction figs.
