boyd Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Asked on Facebook and answered about the Ardeth Bey: "It does not appear so. Only in his mummy form." Disappointing. Wonder why he couldn't be part of a TRU two-pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Asked on Facebook and answered about the Ardeth Bey: "It does not appear so. Only in his mummy form." WTF!!!! It's Boris Freakin' Karloff!! It's like getting another monster in the set, he's so creepy & cool! Plus Ardeth is a recognizable character! He's more important than another generic Man in Tux or Woman in Dress (I would gladly give up BOTH for Ardeth!) Plus, I would have bought several for customs if he had his fez! Zach, can you tell us what happened here?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah, I'm really bummed by no Ardeth Bey. I was hoping I'd get a "we're still working on him" from DST or something. Between this and no classic Rhino pieces, I'm a little let-down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach, can you tell us what happened here?? "He SAID I looked like BORIS KARLOFF!" I wish we COULD have gotten him. I want to try to make QCs of the brothers from Arsenic and Old Lace as I'm in that show at my college and he'd be a great base of Jonathon Brewster. But oh well... I'm just glad this line made it all the way to The Mummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 While unfortunate, I can see a classic Rhino being released somehow later, but I'm pretty sure this our only shot at Ardeth Bey. :sad: can't believe he won't be in the specialty store 4 pack, but the Sarcophagus is the exclusive in that right?

Mystery Man Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 -No, I think Zach said the sarcophagus comes in the 4-pack and the TRU 2-pack. -LOVE Arsenic & Old Lace. I've never seen it performed, but I love the film with Cary Grant and Peter Lorre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 really, wow. figured that'd be the selling point for the 4 pack. very cool though, as I certainly wouldn't mind having a few of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach, can you tell us what happened here?? We made him as The Mummy? The way he first appears, rather than as a dude in a fez? It's still Karloff, and I guess they wanted more supporting characters, rather than multiple Karloffs. The set exclusive is Helen Grosvenor, and the TRU exclusive is Henry Wipple.

boyd Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks for giving us the info, Zach. Have we ever seen an Ardeth Bey Minimate? I know we've seen the Mummy set for years at Toy Fair, but have they ever shown the man with the fez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just a monster freak, especially concerning Universal stuff, so I was holdin' out hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It's still Karloff, and I guess they wanted more supporting characters, rather than multiple Karloffs. Why was the decision made to make two Quasimodos? I don’t know anything about Universals Hunchback, but from know of the actual story a major driving point is the attraction towards Esmerelda shown by Quasimodo, Phoebus, and Frollo Now it looks like looking over a synopsis the character is in the Universal film (it sounds like he was spilt into two characters with “Jehan Frollo” being more the one I’m referring too with “Claude Frollo” being a good guy) but instead of Frollo we’re getting Festival of Fools Quasi Now, again, not familiar with Universal’s version so maybe it’s as simple as “Jehan’s a much smaller character in this version and FoF Quasi would just looks cooler” (I have no clue what Jehan Frollo looks like, but FoF Quasi does kick SO much ass) but it still seems a bit odd to me as a fan of the story.

MINI_MYTE Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 DST did a great job IMO in capturing the look of the 1920's actors for the Hunchback set. Wonderful work guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I do wish we could have a Frollo minimate (Either Claude or Jehan) as Frollo is usually my favorite character in any version of Hunchback... And a bit of a dream role of mine... But oh well. Someday we'll get a MiniPriest and I can make a Frollo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It's still Karloff, and I guess they wanted more supporting characters, rather than multiple Karloffs. Why was the decision made to make two Quasimodos? Not sure. I read the book, but I know the cartoon more than any of the movies (it's one of my favorite Disney pics). It may have been a simple case of priest avoidance? Also, he may not play as major a role. Not sure if likeness comes into it, but we definitely have Chaney.

Mystery Man Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I asked over on the DST Facebook page about the Mummy having tampo detail on top of his head. They said they believed so and that these could hit as early as August, with TRU maybe even getting theirs sooner! Fantastic news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 We should call this year Minimate Rising with all the dead Minimates we are getting this year. Mummy, Mum-ra, Walking Dead...heck even Phoenix Force is rising in Marvel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
