Mystery Man Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Did they not release the regular Creature and Wolf Man sets on TRU.com last year when they did the exclusives? I don't remember... but it's awfully weird not to have the color Drac and Frank available at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlushyFrog Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 got dracula and frankenstein's monster. then i decided to go back and get wolfman and the creature... i've slipped on this slope that's so slippery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) EDIT: Now the numbers have gone from 275 to 273 and up to 276 on regular Dracula/Van Helsing sets on TRU.com. Curiously absent is the Frankenstein/Dr. Frankenstein set. EDIT: All night long these've stayed about the same, in the 270-area. I'm wondering if everybody else is waiting for regular Frank to show up too before buying. Edited September 16, 2011 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I got my ship notice on the exclusives today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Hill Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 They finally showed up at my local TRU. They had 3 Dracula/Van Helsing, 3 Frankenstein(s), 1 B/W set, and 1 Bride/Villager. I was a little surprised by the distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 So I didn’t like how bulky the Bride ended up being, I mean, she’s accurate and all so I’ll keep the box set one unaltered with the universal monsters, but still she was a little bulky and could have been handled better since she’s blank under her gown, so since I have an extra since I needed the villager I did this: drew the chest folds onto her undertorso and gave her Sand Sarif’s dress (actually it’s the black lava ghost from the Amazon Ghostbuster’s Videogame set dress painted white, but saying “Sand Sarif’s” is easier) so she’s much smaller now, unlike her husband who’s altered Hulk parts to be one of those modern revisionist giant Frankensteins you ear so much about... now they can hang out with the Ghostbusters and Darkstalkers or something as a generic Frankenstein set.

MINI_MYTE Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I can just hear what the Monster is thinking in dr baghead's picture: "Conventional exercise bad, steroids good." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Bah! Still no ship notice! 48 hours after ordering, and mine are still showing up as "located in stock..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrossx Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I picked up Drac and Frank, still looking for the Bride/Villager set. Awesome sets! Hopefully they'll sell better than series 1 with the bigger names. Bring on series 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkRedShadow Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ok punished,I gotta admit the monster black ops version,looks beast! And baghead that bulled up monster looks amazing!I wish DST would have added parts like that to bulk him up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Picked up the Villager set tonight. Can't wait for the box sets to drop. Can someone post a link to the Invisible Man 'mate? And did DST ever say what their plans were for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never really announced him as part of a line or anything, but showed him when they showed off Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, Wolfman, and Creature sets.

Valo487 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Thanks! I really hope he gets released at some point, I think his design is just as strong as any other Universal Monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Love the Black Ops Monsters. Thinking about picking up some extras to make my own. Got the B&W Drac & Frankenstein tonight. Wasn't going to do the B&W mates, but they looked so sad on the shelf I had to get them. Now I need to find the B&W Creature and Wolfman. Man, I'm such a sucker for Minimates.

groundhog7s Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Love the Black Ops Monsters. Thinking about picking up some extras to make my own. I love the Black Ops monsters also, but my extras have been used to make fancy dressed monsters (suits, ties, tuxes, ect). I'm thinking of them as like a 50's monster Rat Pack. Once I get an extra Frank and Drac head I'll post pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm really enjoying having these, especially this early before Halloween. I hope the 4-packs make it on time before Oct. 31st too! Having these is great, but it makes me really wish we had the Mummy right now. Also, I think it'd be neat if DST did some kind of spooky monster/ghost series. Just generic, classic looking characters in the same vein as the MAX and Pirates stuff. A skeleton, a ghost in a sheet, a lady ghost in an old gown, a ghoul, a gravedigger, etc. I think that'd really be fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the movie Ghostbusters line, the Pirate Raiders line (skeleton on the way!) and the upcoming zombie line, I think we've got most of that wish list covered already.
