If he's bringing back the old Movie Maniacs line (which based on that slide, looks like these are labeled as), I could see WHY he would go back to the old style. Even if consumers have shown him that the articulated figures he's been doing are well received for the most part.

The McStatues have their diehard fans who complain about the added articulation that the rest of us wanted.

You can't please everyone all the time.

BBTS added Dracula and the Invisible Man to my PoL today. Invisible Man is still in stock, but Dracula is back on pre-order status now.
Dracula is in stock again.

Pretty bummed my Drac cape has to be balanced to stay on :rolleyes: Looks like I'll be heatin' & freezin' this weekend. Other than that, I think this is the best item of soft goods I've ever had on a toy... At least as far back as Zira's skirt. :D Very nice figure.

Got my glow-in-the-dark Mummy, Wolfman, and Frankenstein Monster today from Entertainment Earth and I was super excited. I saw Mummy and Wolfman probably around September at Target and told myself to wait, I have them pre-ordered.

I finally saw The Monster a month or so ago at the same Target, but again, I told myself to wait.

Flash forward to today and I finally got my package with all three delivered!

I was super excited because I have a nice glow-in-the-dark display coming together. I immediately open each one, but as soon as I opened The Monster, as soon as I grabbed it, I heard something drop.

I look at the figure and my heart sank. The right arm of the figure was not attached at the elbow and was somehow split and loose in the package.

That was incredibly disappointing and a major bummer because I exercised an immense amount of patience waiting for these figures to arrive at my doorstep and one was defective before I even opened it and realized it.

Well, I emailed EE as soon as it happened and sent them a picture. Here’s hoping they have a replacement and can help me out.

I guess the issue with my Drac cape was temporary from being in the bag as it doesn't fall off at the drop of a fart anymore. I can actually pick the figure up without getting annoyed now.

I bought a damaged package Dracula for an $8 discount on BBTS and it arrived today (It just had the hanging tag and a bit of cardboard ripped off the back, even if I wasn’t an opener it wouldn’t have been that bad, but I don’t save these Ultimate boxes).

I love this figure and am very happy to finally display him with the other Universal Monsters. The head sculpts are beautiful, I struggle with which one I’ll keep on display. I think the smiling head is the winner for now.

Whatever happened to Gill Man? I've been seeing POs for Phantom, but no GM on the horizon... Was it ever up for preorder?
