I'm SO mad I skipped out on the Loot Frank because I was "trying to save money". My girl was telling me "but isn't it going to go for even MORE money after the fact? You should just get it!"

But I didn't listen...always listen to your woman, fella's.

Absolutely.

lol who knows! It does seem like people are more familiar with these Loot Crate figures after NECA included them on their one checklist, so I'd imagine more people are able to order the Creature and Wolfman figures.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Frankenstein and/or Dracula as part of these NECA vault releases too.

     FRANKENSTEIN - Figure - Ben Cooper Costume - 6 in. - NECA, 2024

I can't help wishing the kid wearing the Ben Cooper Frankenstein costume had on a long sleeve pullover to hide his elbow and wrist joints.

Also:  Wouldn't it be cool if someone with an original Glenn Strange Frankenstein Bucket and a 3-D printer could scan and print in-scale buckets for this figure to hold?  (I'd buy one.)

I was thinking of maybe trying to make some sleeves for my Creature. Maybe getting someone to paint the mask to match the one that came with the costume.

I paid $18.99 for my Creature and now ToyWiz is asking $39.99 for them?!

That's why I asked what was going on with these figures.  ToyWiz prices bounced all around on the day I bought mine.  Looks like we got ours at the bottom.

There are a lot of cheap Barbie clothes on eBay.  We might be able to cut the sleeves off some stretchy outfit of hers.

Or buy a similar sized figure really cheaply.

Nothing great in the vault drop today.

I was just about to post this. I'd be interested in the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood collectible lunchbox, but not at that price.

I understand why it was so expensive, and they probably just had a few left. I am unimpressed with the drops so far.

I got the Cloaked Berserk Predator for my daughter.  Kenner had a clear Predator mail in figure that I got for my daughter years ago, and it was recently found with my stuff, and I gave it to her a few months back (sadly it's not entirely clear anymore - some clear parts have browned over time).  So I'll give her this one as a Christmas present in 11 months.  During last weeks Vault I got her the Scorpion Alien figure as she has the Kenner one - again - another present for Christmas 2024.

For people who got the Loot Crates, I've been keeping an eye on how much they're going for on eBay for my own curiosity. I've seen the Dracula Loot Crate go for anywhere from approximately $200 to $250. Just looked and a Frankenstein Loot Crate is on there (first one I've seen). Bid is at $355 with 8 days to go still lol. Crazy

I realize in retrospect that I was extremely fortunate to get the Frankenstein Lootcrate figure on eBay for $20 (free shipping) about 3 weeks ago. I think how I got lucky is it wasn't listed as Loot Crate at all in the title or description. The seller actually had 3 of them but they were all sold a few minutes after I bought mine. Somebody probably bought the 2 they had left and then is now selling the one on eBay for $400+ right now because that's unfortunately how the world works.

Y'all see NECA's reveal of the packaging for their Monsterizer? Very fun, and keeping in line with mixing the 3.75 and 9 inch versions.
