NECA HAS OBTAINED UNIVERSAL MONSTERS!!!!

[batgirly]

I got the Creature, thank you all for the where to buy help. I couldn't order them all as I'm also waiting on the Monsterizer and I have to consider space and money. Very, very stoked on these and the Remco tributes. Everyday is Halloween indeed

I also preordered the creature costume figure. I may buy the rest of the set too. Those pictures sure brought some fond memories of Halloween in the 60's ! On impulse I ordered the Leonardo as the Creature figure at the same time. I don't really collect figures but NECA caught my attention with this stuff!

Are they less than $18.99 + $1.80 tax and $5.99 shipping? 

I'm asking if NECA will be selling these direct to consumer at all, or if these figures truly are specialty stores only.

Sorry! I thought you were announcing it.

I asked Neca the same question as I'm in the UK and I can't get them shipped to me from any of the 'speciality' shops.

Here's the response I received from them -

Thank you for contacting us about this. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we have not announced anything about this. Please keep your eyes open for any possible upcoming announcements about this or similar topics in the future on our social media.

Thank you,


NECA Customer Service

Make of that what you will lol!

Ben Cooper Costume Kids Collection – Series 1

It's always Halloween at NECA! Introducing the Ben Cooper Costume Kids Collection, a figure series based on the popular kids' costumes from one of the largest Halloween costume manufacturers from the 1950s through the '80s. Standing approximately 6 inches tall, these fully poseable figures wonderfully capture the vintage horror spirit and are ready to make some spooky mischief on your collector's shelf. Series 1 includes Creature, Devil, Frankenstein, Mummy, and Skeleton—classic Ben Cooper costumes worn by an inclusive group of kids. Wearing a mask styled after an original Ben Cooper design and soft goods clothing replicating the vinyl look of the classic costume, each playful figure comes complete with a trick-or-treat bag or pumpkin bucket accessory. Every figure is sold separately and packaged in a numbered, retro-style window box that pays homage to the original costume packaging.

So, like one day after telling Ian, "Have no idea what yer talkin' 'bout." 

[Anton Phibes]

I don't know when they responded to Ian, but I do know they posted this on FB two days ago. Maybe they were working out the deets.

I guess it's possible but I don't really understand why they wouldn't sell them themselves?! Maybe someone over here will pick them up, although I'm not going to bet on that.

Forbidden Planet shoppes are in your neck of the woods, aren't they? They might carry them?

Good idea although no luck right now. There are few online places like that which are good for Neca items but this one hasn't shown up yet. No idea if it will and even the Remco style energizer hasn't shown anywhere except the Neca online store (and they said that would get a larger European release).

Still time for this to happen though so I'll be keeping an eye out.

For people who got the Loot Crates, I've been keeping an eye on how much they're going for on eBay for my own curiosity. I've seen the Dracula Loot Crate go for anywhere from approximately $200 to $250. Just looked and a Frankenstein Loot Crate is on there (first one I've seen). Bid is at $355 with 8 days to go still lol. Crazy

[Dr.Terror]

Hundreds of dollars for slapped together tributes to kids meal toys you can get for $10..........
Even funnier when you see some had $25 BINs last month. (Loot crate necas)
