Joe Hill Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Too bad DST had not previously released a female vampire minimate. One could use that head and modify it with the bride of Frankenstein body and dress to make a few brides of Dracula (if one was army building the villager). There are many talented customizers on this board, maybe one of them can make a few different female vampire decals/stickers for people on this board to use?

DarkRedShadow Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Right now I'm only a fan of the black and white ones,because as of now I only want the black and white set and the villager,but the villager won't fit in with my b&w Wolfman/creature and frankenstein and Dracula set,So I do hope they release a black and white villager(didn't they have him in a four pack with a bunch of other villagers?)

Lobsterman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Word is they were found today in the Nashville area. Get hunting, kids! It is odd that the AA blog said last Friday that they'd be out in October... I wonder if this is one of those isolated "preview" cases... or shenanigans...

boyd Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 No shenanigans or preview cases involved - these are indeed out in stores right now. Found them at my local TRU here in Iowa over lunch along with the new MAX Heroes Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Nice! Any chance you were able to get an item number for either one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I've got numbers off the receipt, if that helps any: Bride/Villager pack: 699788810132 Rest of the Universal Monster packs (dunno which is which): 699788810118 699788810125 699788810149 Max Search & Rescue pack: 699788731215 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) No luck at my stores yet, but I was able to get item numbers for slightly easier phone inquiries: UM wave 2 – 684870 MAX wave 2 – 675790 Updated in the cheat sheet thread as well.

Joe Hill Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 For those who were able to pick them up, would you be willing to help me with a couple questions? 1) Does The Bride's bandages cover her whole body? 2) Is Dracula's cape attached to his coat/vest? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I don't have them, but I'm pretty sure the coat/cape is one piece. Oh darn, I really want these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although those were both the answers I didn't want to hear :sad: I was hoping to use the Bride's body and custom head for a stand-in Mummy Minimate, and use Dracula's cape as a separate piece for another custom. Oh well, time to get creative. Neither of my local TRUs had these in yet, but one had two cleared pegs near the Universal Monster figures, so I figure they should in stock soon.

MINI_MYTE Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Boyd, can you post some pics of series 2? Edited September 8, 2011 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Boyd, can you post some pics of series 2? I meant to last night, but the evening got away from me. I'll try and get some shots tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Hill Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I talked to a ToysRus Employee today. She said that Universal Monsters Minimates Series 2 has been released to 3 stores, and the rest of the stock is being shipped to the warehouse next week. After that, it will take 1-2 weeks for them to arrive in most stores. So it looks like it will be about 2-3 more weeks for most people. I'm not sure how accurate the information is, but I thought I would share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Really? Only three stores? In that case, you must excuse me, for I have to go put some stuff on eBay... How about some pics of wave 2? Frankenstein's Monster and Dr. Frankenstein. Notice the thick soles on Frank's books, and the subtle bow sculpted on Frank's forehead. Dr. Frankenstein's back - they added sculpted ties to his skirt piece, and a tampo on his back. Dracula and Van Helsing B&W Frankenstein and Dracula Bride of Frankenstein and Villager The Bride is very plain under her clothes. Villager comes with all you see here.

MINI_MYTE Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well that sucks about the Bride not having any bandage tampos beneath her dress. Guess we'll have to wait for a spare Mummy mate next year and do some part swapping. As for the rest of series 2.... DROOL..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Question: Which forum member had posted pics of those nifty minimate sized clear plastic coffins? I'm looking to get my hands on one. Could somebody point me in the right direction or ask whomever posted the coffin pics to send me a PM? Thanks in advance.

The B&W Dracula and Frankenstein look great along side the B&W Creature and Wolfman, really wish they had done the Bride in B&W though.
