Have there been any photos (or even an announcement) of a Bride of Frankenstein?

Not that I'm aware of. Only photos of Frankenstein and the Mummy, and an announcement for Wolfman and Dracula as well. Though I could be missing something.

Nope. They only announced Frank, Drac, Wolfman and Mummy. But on Twitter they mentioned they want to go "DEEP" into the UM library.

  Big News here The Neca Color Frankenstein is starting to show up at Walmart's in California as I saw a post online of it hanging on the pegs so he will start to show up more over the next few days. Also a seller on eBay has already sold 3 Karloff's  for $100! The scalping has begun! No surprise there as this always happens when brand new popular Neca figures  first hit Walmart or Target stores but in coming days/weeks more Color Karloff Monsters will suffice and I hope to find him if not he will be available through Neca Retailers and  online shops in July.

Just a heads up, the Velcro holding the window box shut on The Thing was very sticky and resulted in a crease near the closure on the ones I saw last weekend so be careful when opening them.

Been to 4 Walmarts in the LA area this morning, absolutely nothing. Not sure if they just weren't stocked yet or were already snatched up.

Anyone else been able to find the color Frank?

It's not on their online shopping website.

I don't have any desire to go to one of their stores.

Going into one of the wretched places is the only other option for at least a month. It goes widespread after that. Hang tight.

I just figured I would look since I saw people finding them. I'm never too lucky with these kinds of things haha.

Scalpers on the west coast always buy them all up and put them on ebay. For about a week nw they have been finding folks willing to pay 65-100 for the figure. Guess no one thinks it will be readily avaialble shortly, or just doesn't want to go to Wal mart.

Not even to save yourself a shipping charge and make sure you get an undamaged one?

Packaging is no big deal to me.  It's usually fine, but I also display items loose.

I pay Walmart $99 a year for unlimited grocery deliveries - at least once a week.  That also includes unlimited "no minimum" orders from the dry goods side of their stores.  I can order a single bottle of aspirin and it is delivered in 1 or 2 days - no shipping.

Been to the three Walmarts here, three different time the past two weeks nothing. Today had an employee run the UPC, he said they have none on order or in stock, which I hope is not true. Not really sure what Neca was thinking, having Walmart be the first to carry these. I think having them at Target first may have been better. But who knows.

You're joking. I pay twice that for groceries, every month! Where do I sign up?

That's just the delivery fee.  Works out to less than $1.90 a delivery - not including all the little "no minimum" orders from the non-grocery side of the store (that also sells non-perishable food items) that I might place in a year.

For that small amount, I refuse to drive to the store. find parking, walk allover the damned store and carry all the stuff in. They place everything just inside my door.

I ain't going on a hunt from store to store looking for a single Frankenstein item.  It takes all the fun out of collecting.
