Found the color version of The Wolf Man at my local Target today. Immediately cancelled my BBTS order. I'm not interested in the B&W versions, has anyone had any luck finding The Mummy at Target?

I hope that means that they are selling and not that they are stocking only that many.

The Target I found them at only had the 1 Mummy and the 1 Wolfman and it looked like they just recently put them out. Maybe they had more in the back.

$32 each.

interesting to see these regional differences in product distribution. I wonder if there is any rhyme or reason. I'm in the metro Detroit area.  When the Frankenstein Monster came out, it literally took months before I saw the color versions in stores. But the Mummy---I scored one like 4 weeks ago at local comic book shop. And he had a few. Meanwhile i bought color Wolf Man like 3 weeks ago at comic book convention. I wonder why those arrived in this area so quickly but took forever for the Monster🤷‍♂️

So I decided to run out and check 2 other Targets and 2 Walmarts for The Mummy. No go, barely even any collectibles at Walmarts near me

Yep, nothing in my neck of the woods either. 

Ya know, I kinda miss the good old days when I'd go to the local store and be surprised..."Wow, Aurora re-released the old monster models - with Glow-In-The-Dark parts!!!". 

aura of foreboding

Target had 4 Mummy and 4 Wolf Man.  Now there are only 2 of each.   ;D

I found the Mummy and the Wolf Man today at Target. Happy Birthday to ME! 🎉

I wonder when we'll see solicits for Dracula? I also wonder if his cape will be fabric or plastic?

Count Zachula

Probably fabric. Other caped figures by NECA had cloth capes with bendable wires inside.

Lazarus

I don't know how I feel about bendable wires, honestly.  Do they leave a opening so you can replace the wire if it breaks from fatigue?

I've probably spent so much money on gas driving to all the different Walmarts and Target stores that I could buy one of these figures...maybe 2 of them.  I'll wait for BBTS to get 'em in.

EGGGGZACKLY!     If Im out and see one, cool.  But you'd spend the same on gas as you would shipping driving back and forth looking.           
Morning, noon, or night, Anytime . . . . the count may strike. If you're caught you have to linger, Cause Dracula may bite your finger!

Do you not like mailorder? Places online (Amok Time) and the local shop I promoted here in this thread have them. I understand if you don't like mail order (a ton of stuff can go wrong, I know first hand).  I hate spending gas hunting the crap too. I think I hate the wated time more. or at least i used too. Gas ain't exactly cheap these days,lol. :angel:
