Is there one for the Creature?

Not that I know of yet, but NECA did tease the fossil claw and a harpoon gun on their instagram last year. So maybe we'll be getting one???

Drac, Mummy, and Frank.  The only thing coming up that's similar is the Bride Frank with the Chair, which I think they originally teased as an accessory set but is gonna be a boxed set instead.

I'd like an Invisible Man set with his makeshift lab and the chair so we can hopefully pose the smoking jacket version in later.  I'm also hoping for a proper Bride set with that couch they sit her on next to him when they first interact, and maybe some lab equipment to go with the table.    We are sorely lacking in Tesla coils and Jacobs ladders.

I ordered a Creature from Best Buy and it was delivered yesterday. For others who are particular about box condition, I'd warn against ordering from Best Buy (though maybe store pickup is better). The figure was shipped in a padded envelope, so the box was really dented on one side. Thought about returning it, but decided I'd take the figure out of the box, and keep it on my work desk (ordered another one to keep in the box from BBTS). It really does look incredible.

As for the BK style NECA figures, I like them. I was already a big UM fan by the time they came out, but they're definitely a part of the UM stuff I really love from when I was a kid (TMNT figures and stamps too).

Padded envelopes are just worthless for shipping something in a cardboard package!  >:(

I hope one shows up at the local WM (Target at least 30m away), so I don't have to pay for shipping.

With The Creature From The Black Lagoon coming out now, I'm guessing that the Karloff Bride Of Frankenstein figure should be up for preorders soon.  Wonder what will be next after that?

Nosferatu...although not Universal, still a classic, and up for pre-order already.

I was talking Universal monsters.  Maybe Metaluna Mutant or Mole People.

As to the Creature and to fossil hand and harpoon, wouldn't surprise me if they come with the B&W version and not an accessory set.

NECA just posted on their Facebook page that they're doing the limited amounts 3 day release schedule for NYCC exclusives.  It's starting tomorrow, the 13th, and goes until the 15th.  I need to get a Phantom for me and a Ghostface for my brother.

MonsterBaker666

Yep, the Glow-In-The-Dark Phantom Of The Opera is a NYCC Exclusive - so order it ASAP 9/13/23 or you'll miss out.

Do you need to pre register with Neca to get the Glow Phantom?
Or can you buy the figure tomorrow, and check out as a guest?
