NECA HAS OBTAINED UNIVERSAL MONSTERS!!!!

[Hatchet53]

Major restock at my Target today in Colorado Springs of color and b&w Frankensteins. No Mummy or Wolfman insight! Still waiting on a release date of Dracula.

Still waiting on a release date of Dracula.

And The Creature!

Something tells me my Wolf Man order from BBTS is lost. 

It was shipped out on April 14th from Osceo MN.  The Fedex tracking said that the tracking label barcode couldn't be read and it was replaced.  It departed that location on the 17th.  Then it was "in transit" to 2 different locations - Thorntown IN AND Concord NC (!!!).  Since than the tracking said it's been "in transit" to Thornton NC on Sunday, Monday and Today (Tuesday).

Shoulda sent it out via Pony Express.  Woulda been faster.   

Why is it I think either I'll never get it, or if I do the box will be bashed up? 

On a similar note, the US Post Office recently raised the price of a stamp, and just yesterday said they'll be slowing down deliveries.  Guess that's the (new) American way - raise costs and give you slower service.

My brother has been having similar issues with FedEx.  Apparently his stuff has been arriving, but it's incredibly late and the tracking has not been reliable.  Hopefully your stuff gets to you soon, but don't be afraid to file before that window closes!

Well, some good news.  My Wolf Man figure from BBTS shipped via FedEx is in North Carolina.  So it took 7 days to get from Minnesota to North Carolina.   Wonder how long it will take from North Carolina to Florida where live??

Fedex should get rid of their trucks and planes.  It would take less time if they had "a string of poloponies."

Then they'd beat the crap out of your packages with those mallets!

As UMA is my go to source for all monster toys news, was wondering if any of you could tell me when the Frankenstein lab table will be released?  Also when will the Lugosi Dracula be due?  I looked for weeks for the Mummy fig at Target, until I seen here that it is due in summer.

Thanks for any info you give.

Neca says August 2022 for the lab table

[MonsterBaker666]

But NECA said The Wolf Man was due to be released November 2021, and that didn't get released until March/April 2022...4-5 months later.

I figure most stuff is 3-6 months after their estimated release date.

There are 3 of them at my local WM.

No news on Dracula either, although on Twitter NECA said he would be the next release.

[MonsterBaker666]

Weeeeell...some good news on my end.

FedEx says my Wolf Man figure is nearby, so it is likely to be delivered to me tomorrow.  That would be 8 days after it was shipped.  Normal FedEx shipping from NECA to me is 3-4 days, so it's very slow FedEx service.

And NECA just sent me an email saying the Mummy figure should be in stock soon.  I usually get this type of email a day or 2 before they receive them.  So with Luck I'll have the mummy in my hot little hands this time next week. 

One can hope that they'll announce Lugosi as Dracula soon.

Thanks for the info, I got the color Mummy-when is the b/w Mummy due?

Weeeeell...Neca says it's due to ship from them to distributors in May 2022.  But  they are notoriously late in shipping things to distributors.   The Wolf Man was due November 2021.  Hit stores in March /April 2022...4-5 months after their estimated release date.

I got The Wolfman on February 2nd. At a comic and collectibles store. Mummy around the same time. I think most of this craziness with releases has a lot to do with China and the shipping delays from overseas. Then add in the supply chain debacle with cargo not getting unloaded.  Like I said, you can't swing a dead cat in collectibles shops in Kettering or Monroe Ohio without hitting Neca Universal Monsters stuff.

They haven't talked anymore about Dracula or B/W Mummy because they're probably languishing at sea.
