I don't know, but considering the average PF is now $300, they've doubled in price in just a few short years. I remember when the Nosferatu PF went up, I thought nobody would buy one at that insane price of $150
Sound like my experience with my first PF. LOL.
How much does it run now ?

Here's an "Ask Sideshow" question from a few months ago:
https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?p=13565
Would you guys call this a "much more satisfying follow-up" to the dios? I know I wouldn't. I thought the dios were fantastic. Why would they stop the dio line if not for poor or low sales? I don't recall if edition sizes were posted right away for the regular dios, were they? It could be that, while the dios all eventually sold out, the ES was lower than Sideshow had hoped.
Listen, I'm not trying to piss all over this piece, it's not bad, but it's not great either. If classic monsters do continue in this form, then great, maybe the next one will be better. But I will say that I am seriously chapped that the dios are no longer going to be made in favor of this.

I remember seeing the SSE Wolf Man PF on sale for $112.50 and thinking "Even at 50% off, these things are really pricey!"
SS guages interest within specific lines, and acts accordingly. They do not scap an entire licence because one line within that licence is not doing well. Poor sales of the SSE Creature bust has nothing to do with the dio. or PF lines, both of which have been quite successful.
I said "line" not "license."Given that both the SSE dio and SSE bust for the creature are still there, I would say that's a pretty good reason as to why we haven't seen anything else in those lines, hence the pause while they developed the new statue line.
No, the SSE dio is not "still there"....and were not going to play those word games here, are we? Since we both know full well that waitlist items [such as the SSE creature dio, as well as every other UM dio., colour or otherwise] are sold out items, and being on those waitlists means nothing. There is no guarantee that anyone's waitlist will ever convert, and the longer an item is on waitlist, the smaller the odds are of it ever converting. There is also no time limit as to how long an item can be categorized as a waitlist item so I think we both know full well that item's such as the SSE Frankie/Wolfman, Dracula and Creature dio's are long gone. And SS simply not getting around to updating their webpages isn't going to change that.

Dude, why are you being such a ____? You jumped on me for a post you misread and now you're nitpicking the ____ out of every aspect of it on some unfounded tyrannical rant. I said line, not license. A license can have several lines, a dio line, a 12" line, a PF line, etc... so chill the ____ out. Bottom line is SSC gauges interest by how well the products sell. We know this based on what's been put on hold and what's been canceled across the many lines and in some cases, full licenses. They've stated as much in chat on numerous occasions as well as in several Q&A's. Knowing that, and knowing the Creature SSE dio (which, yes, is waitlisted) didn't fly out near as fast as the other dios (which I'm certain they expected despite doubling the ES), and the SSE bust is still rotting on the website, it's a no-brainer why SSC hasn't put out anything else UM until now and why it's in a completely new format.
I pre-ordered Nossy ex., and I dont even have a conventional 9-5 right now. Because I wanted to support the line. I can probably get someone to pay for this for me by painting commissions on kits. I think it's good. Not as good as the dios, but good. Honestly---the dio line was axed way too quickly. Too much more to offer that was scrapped. Just to name a few "coulda beens"
1. Phantom unmasked w/ Christine lying on the floor
2. Frankenstein with the Bride
3. Chaney Mummy carrying girl
4. Nosferatu on deck of rotted ship with dead captain tied to the wheel
5. Abbott and Costello with the three Monsters as a two piece set. A&C. One with the monsters and bases interlock.
I like it..might get one down the road.Was angry at first it wasnt Jason but still its a great sculpt.
I would have also liked to see a UM monster not done yet in the 1/4, 1/5 scale... "Son of Frank" would have been nice or "Lugosi Ygor" ... I would have really enjoyed a PF of either of those. A Mr Hyde PF, or The Invisible Man PF in his robe, or perhaps The Werewolf of London.. There just seemed to be more ground to cover but.. we shall see....
