I am wondering if they have more reveals up their sleeve, but are playing their hand close to the vest. Or, conversely....if they are getting shy about going too deeply into Kharis, Werewolf of London, or other monstery realms for fear of waning sales and ever rising prices. Don't want them to turn into Hasbro, now, do we?
Most likely, yes. First was Frankenstein, then Dracula, and now Creature so assuming there isn’t a sudden change of plans Wolfman should wrap up next crate.
Their Gargoyle wallpaper was missing MacBeth so these certainly all inclusive but perhaps just more what is currently in production or in hand already?

I hadn't seen the Monster from Bride with the accessories before, but, that doesn't interest me as I only want classics in B&W. I did also note the lack of a B&W Phantom, which annoys me. I hope we might get one later. Just a case of wait and see....

Has the Creature Crate offer expired? Don't these usually go to the 15th of the month? In the rush of the holidays and multiple family issues I forgot about it until now when my Drac came. Hopefully I'm not too late but when I go to order there's no mention of him.

I picked up Nosferatu from my local retailer/specialty shop today. It's a work of art.

Really hoping NECA keeps this line going. They teased the BOF Monster some time back, but it's been a while. I also want Henry Frankenstein, Dr. Pretorius, SOF Monster, Igor, and Chaney/ Lugosi/ Strange as the monster also.

any in-hand pics of the Nosferatu?
Got my BK Creature from Loot Crate today. Never got a shipping notification and it didn’t come in the usual Loot Crate box. It was just in a plastic bag with a Ben Cooper scarf and an Exorcist pin. It looks like it came directly from China. Very strange. The fact Loot Crate hasn’t updated their site with current monthly themes is making me worried they’re going through financial issues again. Hopefully Wolfman is still on track for this next crate so I can drop them.

Mine arrived today in the same way. Not very inspiring.

I got my Count Orlok from Target.com. I actually had to order a second one because the keys that came with the first one arrived badly bent, and there was no way to straighten them out. Plus, one of the heads had a badly misprinted eye. I returned the defective one.
Despite that snafu, I really like this figure. It was nice opening a brand new NECA figure and having no stuck joints for once. Everything articulates smooth. The accessories are all very nice and well detailed. The feather pen is the only thing that is sloppily painted. Should be easy to repaint and fix.
Parts swap without too much trouble. The hat can fit on all of the heads; however, it fits best on the one with the ears flattened down. I do wish he came with the picture of Ellen, or a couple rats. He really needs a coffin. I might have to make one if we don't get an accessory set.
Likeness seems good, all 3 heads look great, very minimal paint slop. I will try to darken up the inside of the mouths a little bit. Especially the one with the fangs out.
Overall, I think he's another solid release, and I'm glad I finally have Nosferatu in my collection.

Nosferatu by scarrviper II, on FlickrI added a dark purple paint wash to his mouth so his teeth stand out more. Now they look more like fangs and less like chiclets.

Citadel's "blood for the blood god" paint did the trick for me. Then I painted those pesky frog loop buttons too.

Walmart has the London After Midnight Edward Burke listed as a Collector con Exclusive on their website. I'm not sure if this will get a wider release later in the year after Walmart has had their availability window like other Neca Universal Monsters exclusive releases or, if this is truly limited to Walmart.
You might want to pre-order it when it becomes available next Friday.

He’s been up for preorder for a while now at BBTS and other places so I’m sure it’s just one of those first to market limited time windows they do with some figures.
