Not sure if it is 1:6 or what?

I’m doubting 1:6 with Kaustik Plastic having the 1:6 license now. Sounds more like statues to me.

Hmnnnnnn.....interesting.

 

[Buttmunch]

Sideshow’s original universal monsters is what really got me into collecting this stuff so I’ve got a soft spot for them having the license again in any capacity.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Whatever it is, I will at least look at it and consider it. Certain to be fewer hoops to leap through for stateside customers.

It does say “RSVP for Universal Monsters Collectible Figure!”

The closer I looked at that the more it looks like a generic placeholder. Sixth scale figures with RSVP options say that as do statues and premium format figures. Probably nothing to glean from that generic placeholder until they say more.

I’m hoping pfs and life size busts.

More Karloff Frankenstein is always good news for me!

With KP doing a great job so far on 1/6 monsters. I'm hoping its statues. Sideshow had some really good UM PFs back in the day.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Well, I have almost all of Sideshow's original presentations from their first hey dey. I shudder to think at the prices of what they have coming. Not to mention size. We shall have to wait and see if I...."bite".

 

[D'oh!]

If they go 12" again, I bet they'll be more than $20 bucks this time:

[Buttmunch]

Yep, got mine at Toys R Us back in the day for that $20. Still not sure if that was the best $20 I ever spent or the worst investment I started with countless dollars spent on this hobby since

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Wonder how long before we see something?

Probably take a long time to make the perfect prototype that they have no intention, or ability to actually put into production...

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

This announcement crawl into a watery grave or what?

 

[Buttmunch]

I don’t expect to see anything until next Spooktacular, sadly.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

I don’t expect to see anything until next Spooktacular, sadly.

When is that? October 2025? Have mercy. I will be a grandpa by then. For reals,lol.

 

[Buttmunch]

Congrats!

But sadly, yeah, unless they tease us with something in the next 10 days for the 12 days of Sideshow I wouldn’t expect anything until October. Plus we’d likely have another year wait on anything actually shipping. Sometimes it’s worse when they announce a license rather than just surprising us with some new items out of the blue.
