Shanester Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 More monsters! Metalluna, Mole People, Phantom, Invisible Man, Creature Walks Among US. A Lon Chaney Phantom is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) That wood-painted coffin looks like it's alot deeper than the clear plastic one that I posted an image of... which I also found at Target. I've gotta get some of those coffins now. I'd say 4 of 'em, for Drac and his brides. Too bad the coffins're generic, so it's tough to pin down exactly what type they are online. At least now I know to be on the lookout! Does anybody who purchased them remember what came in the coffins? The GID skeleton in my above image was the too small one, whereas I've seen some online with a spider. I'm wondering if that's the same mold as the skeleton one or the larger type. More monsters! Metalluna, Mole People, Phantom, Invisible Man, Creature Walks Among US. A Lon Chaney Phantom is a must. I agree whole-heartedly! Of course, if we get a "Walks Among Us" Gillman... then I'm gonna want a fuzzy-vest "Son of Frankenstein", Ardeth Bey from "The Mummy" and even a mustachio'd "Son of..." and "House of..." Dracula. :tongue: Edited August 17, 2012 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 This line cried out for accessories....a lab table.... a coffin...a clear variant Invisible Man....a sarchopagus (maybe we're getting that one?).....a Van de Graaf generator type thingy do whatsit...... I would support re-releasing the monsters if each came with an accessory like the Mummy does (Drac with Coffin, Frankenstein with table, Wolf Man with tree, Creature with alligator (does he wrestle an alligator in the movie? I think he does) ). I'd also support the Phantom, Invisible Man, Metaluna Mutant, Mole People, Mr. Hyde and the Blob. And "Walks Among Us" Gillman, Son of Frankenstein, Ardeth Bey, and Dracula with and without mustaches. The point is, I would buy more Monster Minimates.

fwoosheyman Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Halloween arrived early at TRU. I'll post open pics later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Me too! I've got half dozens of these guys and would gladly buy extra's if they come with a swell accessory! I love the Marvel 'mates, don't get me wrong. But I grew up watching these movies just as much as I did reading Marvel's from the 1960s that were my dad's and then reading the stuff that was coming out. Getting the Monsters is an absolute dream come true for me as a minimate collector and I would be SO happy if the line continued. Heck, they could release one monster w/accessory for roughly the same cost of a 2-pack... or at least, I'd hope they could. I'd do anything for more monsters. Mail order, collector's club, from DST direct. I don't care, I just want more of 'em! Anybody else agree? Halloween arrived early at TRU. I'll post open pics later today. AH!

steviebabes Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) I agree! I'll keep getting these little beauties as long as they keep coming! The classic Marvel and DC lines have been superb and the Trek, Galactica and GB 'mates just as good. But the Universal Monsters are the mutt's nuts. I will now be stalking ebay all the time trying to find these! Edited August 17, 2012 by steviebabes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Opened pics as promised. The Mummy has bandages on the back of his chest/torso. Nothing on back of the arms/legs. If Frankenstein and Dracula couldn't sell I don't see how these will get us a fourth series. A final four pack with the Invisible Man, Phantom, Metalluna and another character would be a nice way to finish the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) WHAT THE WHAT?!? Any chance you have an item number fwooshy? Edited August 17, 2012 by Lobsterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks a MILLION for the pics! I dig that the Mummy has his scarab ring on! Can you possibly take a couple of pictures of his head from the top, back and side? I'm trying to determine how best to go about giving him hair. That's also great news to hear that he has details on his back! I'm SO glad he isn't blank back there. Oh man! I'm super jazzed and hope these show up asap online.

DSTZach Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 American Board Member gave me a coffin at C2E2, but I haven't had a chance to use it. And I told you guys TRU celebrates early. Now I have to play that most American of games... KETCHUP. I mean, "catch-up." To the sandbox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just about everything DST has brought out in Minimate form surpasses anything that Medicom has brought out in kubrick form.......I know because I have every blah blah de diddy blah blah Minimate Universal Monsters would be the exception. I talk some crap don't I ? Now that I've seen fwoosheyman's pics I must say that this wave looks incredible.....& who said that Minimates can't be sexy ? That Princess gal is gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthBurkie Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Saw these at my TRU and passed. Not b/c they're not awesome, but b/c I picked up the exclusive MvC mates & a set of Halo marines. Hopefully I can score them on clearance like I score Drac and the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Saw these at my TRU and passed. Not b/c they're not awesome, but b/c I picked up the exclusive MvC mates & a set of Halo marines. Hopefully I can score them on clearance like I score Drac and the others! I'd imagine scoring them on clearance is less of a chance we'll see any other monster mates the next year. I need to pick up the Mummy and sarcophagus next time I'm in TRU, that set looks awesome! I'd love to see an Invisible man set, also like to see any minimate head with a full face mummy wrap so I can make a Darkman custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yeah, waiting for clearance bums me out because it means they won't make more monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Just found the entire series at TRU, the Mummy set is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I wrote TRU.com to ask if they had any info about when they'd be carrying them. ... they don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) The regular Mummy and Quasimodo sets were up on TRU.com... but are already sold out. Edited August 23, 2012 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Were they ever verified in stock? Because they do put up a place holder that will say sold out before they are actually in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I was able to order a couple of the regular Mummy and Quasimodo sets yesterday from the whole "sample case" that sells out super quick. I got my shipping notification for them today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
