I saw the thread title and got excited. Then I saw the picture and melted like a snowman in July. 

[John Pertwee]

Same here. I was thrilled, and then not thrilled.

Lol compared to other buckets these are very lackluster

Are we "this" far away from an animated 'Monster Babies" series?

[AndyFish]

Ditto.
Don't like the cutie versions of anything.   Happy for people who do because there is so much of it, but it's not for me.
When Ben Cooper was a client of mine two years ago I had a meeting with them and begged that they push some of their scary monsters with the Pez Company--they said it would be a tough sell-- they wanted cute.  THey told me the Pez market was like 7 and under-- and I said maybe that's because the ones they're doing are designed for kids-- do some like the old ones and I bet sales would go through the roof.

I also suggested that adult costumes of their classic 70s and 80s costumes would probably sell, and they were talking about "Mego type figures" which I assume is the Halloween Kid line from Neca. 
The success of that line might make them rethink reaching out to Pez.  If they can't sell the license to Pez maybe someone else will make a truly retro style line of candy dispensers with the real monster heads.  I think there is a lot of room in the market for scary monsters.

It's great that they're available now if AMC carries them. The convenience of getting them right away makes it even better!
