Thanks! That's an older pic I took before the glow Wolfie came out, I have him too. I preordered the Invisible Man and chase from Big Apple, paid a premium but I have always had zero and I mean ZERO luck finding anything at Walgreens around here. I'm sure there are a few flippers in the Dallas area that have nothing better to do than drive from store-to-store every day snapping them up to resell. My billable rate is too high to compete with that lol Just need Frankie with flower and I'll be UM complete again.

Does anyone know anything about those Universal Monster mash up pops they showed at I think it was Fundays? They said they would be available at someplace but I couldn't tell if it was a concert, a website, or a shop. I know this is all vague, but I think they were related to the guy from Metallica.

Just curious how does Big Apple normally package their pops? Thinking of getting some pops potentially as well and given that i lack the time to go chase hunting, that's also probably my next best option

Love this set but can they make this invisible man chase any harder to get? the walgreens in my area never has anything newer than pops from 2016. The chances of me obtaining the the normal version is less than 5% and the case is probably less than 1%. so sad...

I've bought chase bundles from them several times and they've always arrived really well packaged. No problems at all.

Hey Josh, yeah it was at Fundays. The mashups are monster versions of Kirk Hammett. They showed two of him- Frankenstein and the Creature. I have a pic on my phone, if you're interested PM me. On the screen it said they will only be available at his "It's Alive!" museum.

After constantly checking my local Walgreen's almost daily for the past few weeks, I finally scored the invisible man today. The chase was gone, but I was just really happy to get him. Yay for me!

Thanks for the response Tres, I'll probably have to go down that route as well moving forward. Having a baby means I'm homebound most of the time now :D

Sadly, they are all vaulted and no longer in production. The only Universal Monsters you can get at retail are the ones from Walgreens this year. Frank w/ Flower and Invisible Man (and Chase variant)

Hopefully with the Frankenstein and Invisible Man funko release. It will start a revival of newer ones for the series. Maybe even a exclusive for the Universal Studios Park. Maybe Igor.

Yep. I went to my local Walgreens for two weeks stright, to the point when I entered the store, the workers would tell me that they havent received anything or that the Halloween stuff has not been set up yet. But I was lucky enough to get it this past Tuesday during my lunch break. Saw the manger stocking it and grabbed the chase and regular one.

I've made over 20 trips to 10 different locations and have yet to find any of the walgreens exclusives - a bunch have gotten them in but the employees just tell me they were wiped out immediately. Just gonna end up going the ebay route since it doesn't seem reasonable to spend any more time or money on gas.

Yeah same here. I stopped searching for them. None of the pops at Walgreens by me ever made it to the sales floor.

Same, I went to quite a few looking for Frankenstein and ended up buying him on ebay since he was the one I wanted the most. I paid like $2 above retail plus shipping, not too bad honestly.
