I aint buying them....but there are friends here who still do (right Nickie). I am passing along the info. like a good little freak. The Phantom on the organ is a neat idea though, and one I thought SSC wouldve done as a diorama had they not lost their license.

You probably wont see decent pics until all of the popular stuff gets covered first(He-Man, transformers, G.I. Joe, Sta Wars, blah, blah, blah). Since the Classic Uni-Monsters are always an after thought they post stories and pics on them pretty much last.

I will absolutely buy them. Where are the pics!?!?!?

 

[warmachine]

I buy ALL THINGS invisible man or jekyll and hyde. Lab table is a BIG plus!

Only phantom i;m interested in would be a claude rains version.

I find this post offensive.

Its Chaney for me too. Or Herbert Lom as a second. I like Claude as the Phantom, and the film is good. But Chaney's Phantom is beyond compare, and Lom's mask is creepier than his scarred face. I think It inspired Jason Voorhee's look in Friday 13th part two. Very similar concept. Blank non descript face and only one open eye hole.

Even though I aint that keen on these, that Phantom at the organ has piqued my interest.

Pictures are courtesy of our own Michael Crawford's coverage of the event. Posting here. I dont THINK Mike would mind. (Hope not anyways).

I wish someone would get better shots of the Phantoms. They look the most interesting.

WOW, Stephen Dorf as Dracula, Mickey Rourke as Frankenstein and Kristen Bell as the Bride...trying to pull off vintage UM's? These look like ass.

Heh... I'd actually like to SEE those first two as movies...

I wouldn't mind any of them taking a crack at the roles, I just don't think a company should be trying to pass them off as Legosi, Karloff and Lanchester aka "the original monsters." Either put the money into doing remakes or stop cheaping out and pay for the likeness rights. And if they already/still have them, then WTF?!

Saw all three TRU exclusives today. Couldn't pull the trigger and buy any of them. The Dracula is so generic it evokes nothing. The other two sculpts are much better, but Frankenstein's Monster and The Bride of Frankenstein are almost the identical poses as the superior 8" Sideshow figures, and the paint apps on Frankstein's Monster seemed to be particularly sloppy. The Bride's paint apps were better, but not enough to justify the $14.99 purchase price. Might pick-up the Diamond Select Frankenstein's Monster with lab table, but it is a definite maybe.
