Sorry for those of you disappointed, I'm all in.  Can't wait-- this is the only line I'm currently following.

Oh I'm still all in. It's growing on me.

Any idea what Universal monsters Neca will do after the Karloff Bride figure?  Wondering if they will do a Karloff Son Of Frankenstein figure and Lugosi Ygor.  After the looooooong delay Super 7 had in releasing their Werewolf Of London figure, I'm not holding my breath for that one.  Would be nice to see all the actors who played the Frankenstein monster (Chaney, Lugosi, Strange).

I don't think they've announced anything past the Bride set and London After Midnight other than the REMCO Monsterizer.  We're still a few figures deep though, with Nosferatu, Bride Frank, Man in the Beaver Hat, and Remco Dracula.

My guess is they'll pad things out with the Hammer releases. Which I am very much looking forward to.

I don't mind the different pic of Bela they used for the card (in fact I kind of prefer it to the original one), but I do wish they didn't have the Lugosi logo so prominent at the top of the card. Feels like they could have limited that to the back of the card, or down below by the Universal logo. Not a major concern though.

MrDark1

Yes, I too would Luv to see the line continued with those most desirable figures.
Wishing that it may be more possible with Lugosi, and Chaney heirs, since we got great Dracula, and Wolf Man items through the years, that wasn't through Uni Studios too.

It's been each heirs rights per settled laws in CA, that they can sale, and use their estates images, both in, and out of make ups.  It was ruled that each party was to share equal half.  Just the studio wants all, and continues to fight them on it, as Ive not heard, or seen any announcements that they have settled.
The actors families are exercising their rights given to them some time ago.  That is why we are seeing Lugosi, and more so Chaney items licensed through their estates, and not the studio too. 

So how about Chaney Hunchback from Neca (Laughton too), Ghost of Frankenstein, Frank meets Wolf Man monster, a two pack of them in fright, er uh, fight...and posted other where, that Strange's heirs are going it solo too under their rights, and I'm cleaning off shelf space as I post this!

A Laughton Hunchback would be cool.  If they did that I'd want a Dr. Moreau though.

Anton Phibes

Now, it isn't Universal....but if Sideshow could pull a 1/6 off ages ago, there's no reason NECA cant do an Ultimate. Fredric March Jekyll and Hyde with multiple heads. Just sayin'.

Lazarus

They'd probably do the Karloff one like Diamond did.  But I would definitely buy a March Hyde.

I'd enjoy more characters from the films we've gotten but won't hold my breath for Van Sloan and Dwight Frye "Drac" figures.

Other versions of the monsters would be nice. I'd really dig versions of the characters/actors from "A&C meet Frankenstein"!

Those are great, but what's the one with the two pallets in it?

Maybe he knows there's a figure coming that we are unaware of? Perfect backdrop for Mad Ghoul or Rondo Hatton.

Were there pallets in any of those movies?  ;D
