If we see any more classics/Universals I will be happily surprised. I've seen them rotting at Ross, clearanced at Best Buy, and not doing well in some of the smaller shops. I don't know why, because they're great!!!

I guess TMNT, Muppets/Sesame Street and those Ben Cooper kids are their main bacon these days.

Neca announced two more Hammer figures. Curse of the Werewolf and Phantom of the Opera

Is this a premature April Fool's thing :angel: , or did you actually see an announcement someplace?

Only a low-down dirty dog would do something like that.

Whatever you're smoking, I want some.

Seems like it just came from this random Facebook page. No source, just screaming words that form into sentences. I'd like to believe its true, but this doesn't seem credible.

I am usually fairly quick to find this stuff out. I haven't heard a peep.

Anyone pick up the b&w Monster and Bride two pack from the Haulathon?

Damn. I got fooled by a NECA page I thought was the real thing. I'm officially too old for the internet.

I'm starting to think maybe NECA's Universal Monsters line is gonna go from a steady stream to a drip.  If not finished altogether. Their 12 days of downloads last Christmas didn't even show a black and white Red Death version....but DID show b/w versions of Ardeth Bay Karloff and Metaluna Mutant. Those two weren't shpwn at the New York Toy Fair for release this year though. Ardeth color has been seen at clearance all along the Walmart watch tower.

If they are done: it was a great run. If they aren't, I hope we get Kharis and Werewolf of London at least before they quit.

Thats why I hate when these lines start with the boring "big 4" usual suspects.    Lines always die before we get new versions of characters like Glenn Frank or Kharis Mummy.   Im tired of the same old boring wave 1 stuff.   Frank, Wolf, Mummy,  Bride.   Creech

Because they did other characters in BW and some folks want a whole set like that.

But there's still no regular Black and White Phantom.
