NECA HAS OBTAINED UNIVERSAL MONSTERS!!!!

[aura of foreboding]

NECA did the Bride with red hair previously, so I think they will again.

[Hepcat]

Wow! This thread isn't even two years old yet and it's filled over 100 pages!



I would never have guessed that it would prove this popular.

[TheMadScientist]

Yeah, the bobblehead they did years ago had reddish hair

[Anton Phibes]

The actual head knocker didn't get to entirely keep that glorious red hair though.  Despite their trying to get it passed. Unless they just couldn't nail it at factory. Mine has heavy black washes that tone it down to the point that it looks muddy brown unfortunately.  It doesn't look as red as the proto photo. That's why I am hoping NECA gets their way with the figure, and Universal doesn't object. The sculpt looks just like her, and I hope they get to keep the hair tint.

If the Bride's hair is black we can always repaint it.

Would be nice if we get a Werewolf Of London figure. 

[YoungestMonsterKid]

Honestly, would be really nice to finally get a figure of someone we've never gotten before.
Henry Frankenstein, Dr Pretorius, Mord from Tower of London.
There's only so many times getting a figure of the same character again is gonna interest me.
Not to be negative, I still love these figures.

[MonsterBaker666]

Yes, I too would love to have a whole gaggle of different figures - Dr. Frankenstein, Dr. Pretorius, Fritz, Ygor, the monster from Bride, the monster from Son, heck, Lugosi's monster, Chaney Jr.s monster, Glenn Strange (both House film and A&C versions), etc, etc, etc.

But NECA might want to tread lightly with these characters - they may not sell as well to the mass market as to the ones already released / announced.

If they are making a figure from a film 99% of the living population has never seen, I don't understand why we couldn't get Henry Frankenstein, Maleva, or Renfield, all of which are better known commodities than Professor Burke.

Maybe, but they're not "monsters". People want monsters on the shelf, not "Ken" in a lab coat.

I get that.  But Henry Frankenstein has much sharper angles than Ken.

Actually I believe Ken dolls/figures far outsell all monster figures put together.

[Mike Scott]

But, does Universal want to deal with any more relatives of dead actors?

I'm sure they do!

I'm glad to see the bride's arm bandages are white (or grey) and not yellow.
