Neca has universal monsters!!!

[greygoose]

I would think Bride and Creature would be among those 7. It’s a toss up on phantom or invisible man after that. I want both of them!

They should do a good job of The Creature. Looking forward to seeing that one.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Maybe it's a Bride of Frankenstein Frankie.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

They plan to do more than 7. 7 is just what is already more or less in the bag. 15 has a nice sound to it to me. Just sayin'.

 

[Buttmunch]

I assume we’ll get countless variants too. Color, B&W, Basil Gogos, plus we’ll probably see Channey and Lugosi among the Frankenstein variants. Other than torn sleeves in bride and that fur vest in Son, his outfit was fairly consistent and I would expect them to get made like Sideshow did in the 1:6 line.

I am hoping for both Raines and Channey phantoms and hopefully a Channey mask of the red death version as well. I can see (ha!) clear versions of the invisible man happening too. They loved that with the predators. Although a naked body is a bit less marketable lol

I want Werewolf of London, Maleva, and The Mad Ghoul. They'll never happen....but I want them,lol.

 

[pixletwin]

Vampire from London After Midnight (also probably won’t happen).

 

[Buttmunch]

I could see that happening. I figure anything Sideshow made is possible with Neca. Sideshow went surprisingly deep over the years in 7” and 1:6 scale.

Now that all the Universal Monsters films have been cleaned up for blu ray, I would totally buy color versions of these films after seeing what one fella with a coloring program can do. Granted, not all of it is perfect, but he makes Creechie and Wolfie look great. That scene in the carriage from Dracula was nice too.

 

[JacktheRipper]

Some of those were beautifully terrifying while others seem like they were done by the unskilled understudy..

Yeah, hit or miss to be sure. Yet I think this is just one dude with a program. If a major studio would get involved, it would be better tinting I'm sure. While no one is clamoring for yet another release, and a gazillionth dip into buying the flicks again....I would do it if they colorized them. For the novelty of it if nothing else.

 

[JacktheRipper]

No, I'm with you. The look of the better colorized ones made them mesmerizing.

 

[burtial]

I'm loving much of those colored clips. I'd totally be down for those films in color.

And color or no color, Elsa is hot af.

 

[Buttmunch]

It’s amazing how even nearly 100 year old films can still look amazing with just a bit of work cleaning them up.

 

[DeathComesRipping]

Finally found Frankie! Only 2 left at my local WM.

Overall it's the best Frank figure out there, but I still think that the Mezco 1:12 might have the better relaxed faced head sculpt. The main problem with the standard head is the Rob Lowe jaw... Karloff's face was much thinner. The alternate heads have a better Karloff likeness IMO, but you can still see Karloff in the standard, too.

Here's a look at the B&W Monster.

Not a fan of the box on this one compared to the poster of the color version.

Pics from Aliexpress.

That's a strange box.

Was it tho?
Looks pretty wide in behind the scenes pics.

One thing that made Karloff's face look gaunt was the hole in his right cheek, which he accomplished by removing his false teeth.

That ain't Karloff, Sally....that's actually a sculpture!

I know it's a bit of a nitpick, but that standard head's jaw needs to be a bit more narrow. Compare it to Mezco's nearly perfect Karloff likeness and try to ignore the eyesore on the far right...

Colour looks much better (not not seen in hand because Canada Walmart do not carry NECA exclusives - thanks for nothing NECA!!!) Still not feeling the relaxed sculpt. Looks too generic.

This is the black and white version, it is not a Walmart exclusive and is up for order from BBTS,EE, and other retailers.
