I recently re-read through some of the pages of this thread. I stand with my original assessment (since they fixed The Wolfman) that these figures are going to hold the crown for some time in this scale. The Lugosi is just fantastic. Even the growling head is good, the detail inside the mouth is insane for an action figure.

Just a heads up to anybody on here that lives in South East Michigan, Big Ben's Comix Oasis out in Allen Park has Dracula and The Invisible Man in store for pickup. They have a direct line to the NECA company

So does my local guy in Ohio. It actually seems the mom and pop shops are getting the stuff faster than the big chains. Good for them! If at all possible, support your local business!

Saw both Dracula and The Invisible Man figures at my local comic shop a few minutes ago, both are EXCELLENT! I'll wait for my Collector versions to arrive from BBTS, in no rush to have them. Just got accessory packs for Frankenstein and The Mummy.

I was thinking about this image the other day, its the Halloween image Neca teased last year. So far we've seen mostly everything teased in this photo: Dracula accessories, TMNT UM figures, Invisible Man...but there are two things I'm not sure we've seen...that lantern and the small brown mug next to the Snickers bar.

That lantern looks an awful lot like this one:




As for the mug:

The Lantern might come with the London After Midnight figure

Having painted many models of LAM for people over the years, and having the Sideshow premium format figure, I knew automatically it had to be something other than LAM. Something I had seen before. I originally thought perhaps Renfield.....but his lantern is the same era as LAM. The lantern in the Halloween candy tease definitely bears a nice resemblance to Rains. I'm hoping for Rains myself. Here's some shots of Renfields, and its really close to LAM's and different from Rains in design.

I really hope we get to see Werewolf of London. Give him the same treatment as the Talbot Wolfman figure. It wouldn't be that difficult to ask Cortland Hull. He wants to keep that legacy alive.

I also would love to get him. As the first werewolf movie, Werewolf of London deserves more love.
Him, with Dracula's Daughter, Ygor, Renfield, Kharis and non Universal Monsters movie (but Paramount) Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. 
Lugosi Enterprises and Chaney Entertainment (if they decide to make Kharis with Lon Chaney Jr's likeness) have the rights of the likeness. Also probably Cortland Hull for Henry Hull's likeness.
Dwight Frye, Gloria Holden and Fredic March's likeness are subject to a familiar Enterprises?
