No TMNT in the photo NECA posted concerning monsters for the 6 months until Halloween upcoming sneak peeks.  Classic Universal monsters and modern ones like Elvira, Jason Freddy, Leatherface shown.  So I could perhaps seeing Universal Monster Turtles among the monster previews, but hopefully there will be at least 1 Universal monster in the bunch.

Maybe since their 31 nights of fright last October included things that weren't necessarily all that scary/horror/monstery (Disney Gargoyles, TMNT monsters, etc.), this will make up for that by being all authentic horror related items. They have a Hammer license. Rumor has it there are other monster/horror licenses they were negotiating. Perhaps "this is the big one, Elizabeth." :angel:

FYI the photo used is actually a fan's photo.

I don't doubt we will get more TMNT UM reveals since that seems to be NECA's big sell these days.

Since they are working with Lugosi I would love a White Zombie Ultimate figure.
They also did a Nosferatu Toony Terrors, so that in Ultimate form would be fantastic as well!

I would be thrilled if they did a few Toony Terrors of the UM gang!

Invisible Man!!!




Lazarus

Not my preferred version, but still lovely.  Hope we see that smoking jacket version.

What's that black thing on top of his head - looks like dead leaves?

Surprising, but mice none the less.

The "leaves" on the top of his head must be the eighth sticking out of the bandages.

The character never wore a smoking jacket.  In one scene he's in his pajamas and another he has his pj's and a bathrobe. The Werewolf Of Lindon had on a type of smoking jacket in one scene as I recall.

Sure hope the Lugosi Dracula and Creature From The Black Lagoon are close behind

NECA likes poseability in their figures, I imagine adding the "robe/jacket" would limit that, unless its cloth. So maybe they'll have it as a cloth accessory?

aura of foreboding

The Invisible Man is cool.  Pretty sure we were all hoping for Creech or Phantom before him, but he's a nice addition.  I'd like to see the robe as an accessory.  Hope Dracula is released before him, though.

Hair from the wig most likely.

If they do a bathrobe they'd have to have him in his jammies.  Not very scary.

Not the baby blue ones with the cute little bunny rabbits all over them.

Maybe his Hopalong Cassidy PJ's.

Hair of course. It's that way in a lot of the stills.
