I got one of those.  He does look better in person.

[Mike Scott]

There are so few Creature items.

Really? Seems like I've gotten a lot of Creature stuff the last few years.

[Lazarus]

And maybe a Chaney Mummy?

Wasn't Kharis a full mask because Lon didn't want to do the long makeup times?  They might not get away with that one.

Yeah, there is never a shortage of Creech stuff.

Maybe it was a sarcastic comment?

The Creature pail is the star to me.  It seemed to come out of nowhere.  There are so few Creature items. And from a company that is losing its Universal license at the end of the year.  The handsome Karloff Frankenstein pail comes in second.

Toys are year-round, but items made strictly for Halloween are much scarcer.  I hope next year brings some Universal Monsters Halloween decorations.

I agree, and include both Frankenstein Karloff, and Creature pails as Treats of this Halloween season.
Also the Karloff injection 1/2 mask, for its top notch construction, and durable heft, adding to this years Halloween fears, er uh cheers.

Was this mask released in any other color other than green?

That mask IS a handsome issue.  I like that it is so thick and rugged.  Even though it is big enough to be worn comfortably by an adult, mine will a wall hanger.[/list]

Don't follow you here.  I don't believe it matters.  As I understand it, Pierce made the mask for long shots, and quick turn around scenes, (saving Uni $$, though they claimed he never did).  Otherwise Chaney Jr was made up for the part. Per ruling of CA courts the families share equal rights to image in, and out of make up.  The mask is Chaney's image, they are cleared to use it.

The estates are currently exorcising their granted rights and is why we are seeing Chaney Ent items licensed from them, and Lugosi estate, and Witches Dungeon, the Hull heirs for Super 7 Werewolf London figure.  Hope the Strange heirs do the same, more goodies to collect.

So we could see monster pails of Chaney Mummy, Phantom, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Lugosi Dracula, Strange monster, Hull Werewolf...Uni can still share in this, but appears to not want this.
As far as I've gleamed, Uni claims ownership of the Post Halloween III masks they used in movie.
That's why TOT is in courts now, and it's monster license ended.  Hope they work it all out, and get back to releasing monsters upon us.

Yes.  By Curse it was just a mask.    Its a mask, but it's still Lons face.

I changed my mind.  These are my favorite items this year.  3ft hanging decorations sold exclusively at  The Big W in Australia.    About 3ft tall with wire in the arns.

I'm afraid the green coat has finally won.

They are 3d interpretation of style guide art.   Drac's sculptor put some Logosi in there with the hairline and eyebrow which oddly makes him the best of the 3.   Strange they chose Mummy instead of Wolfman.   Big W had a bunch of stuff based on that art.   Same artwork the Imperial jigglers were based on.    Paper plates and other party stuff.  Also ceramic mugs , snow globes.   All based 9n that art.   No Creech.        These were the only toy like items.
