You did an awesome job, I like the plushy looking flock much more than the flat stuff that we usually get. Kudos!!!

I love it! Really hope Funko puts one out.

FLOCKED Wolfman FTW! I sooooo need one in my life. Put me in the group that hopes it's gonna be a Gemini exclusive, so I can pre-order him and be able to sleep at night lol

. Amazon exclusive wouldn't be a terrible thing either.

No idea on the Gemini Creature yet
Hoping its soon!

As cool as a flocked Wolfman would be in the F-box I don't think it's going to happen. The pop in the f-box (assuming there is going to be at least one pop in a box) is going to be a bloody Dracula pop, least that is my guess. As seeing as the hint picture was a coffin with blood spatter on it, I am really expecting the Drac, though would LOVE a flocked Wolfman. Only two places that I can think of that have not announced exclusives for this line are Fugitive (my guess we see their exclusive in this box), and Entertainment Earth. If EE has one it might be the flocked wolf. **Fingers crossed**

Metallic Creature from Gemini shows that it will be in their warehouse 11/6. Yay! I'm still dying for more places to come out with some different variants of these (I'm looking at you Wolfman).

I wonder if those are from Popcultcha, they show them as in stock.

Postby **Jezter** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 1:21 pm

I really hope I can find them in stores this weekend, I'll have extra money, and I need at least a few of them.
Of course I want Wolfman the most!!!

Maybe all the Frankensteins were sent to Popcultcha by mistake... lol

None of my local stores have these, so I finally broke down and ordered Wolfman, Mummy and Creature from Amazon, should get them next week, hopefully.

They have Metaluna Mutant on hot topics website, it says he's an online exclusive so he's not in stores? Or maybe he's glow in the dark? He's not glossy looking like the glams.

Anyone have him yet know if its normally that glossy paint job, or he's more like the hot topic pictures?

Looks exactly like the regular release.

My HT just called me to say they got GitD Frankenstein in. How many here are looking for him?

I am looking for a GITD Frank

I just got creature! The detail is amazing

Postby **Sir Real** » Thu Nov 06, 2014 4:06 pm

Yeah that Creature from the Black Lagoon Pop was the one that I saw as a preorder, that got me into the Pop game in the first place. Probably my overall favorite.

Postby **operez086** » Fri Nov 07, 2014 1:20 am

I picked up the Gill-Man from HT and found the GITD Frankenstein. The HT i always go to must've just opened a box of them cause there were like 6 behind the counter when i got there.
the Gill-Man is AMAZING!

Postby **Jezter** » Fri Nov 07, 2014 10:29 am

Just got 5 Pops today, 3 of which were the Monsters, The Wolfman, Creature and The Mummy. Can't wait to get them home and take them out of the boxes!!

Also got Arthas and Captain America today, as well as Cheshire, Groot and Bizzaro last night! Great week.

I know he's not a Universal Monster, but, since he IS a monster, figured this'd be the place to ask: does anyone know when Nosferatu is due out? His proto pics have all ready been shown, and, a few months back, I seem to recall seeing a full color version next to some X Files in an instagram pic? Will he come out before the end of 2014? Or do you think 2015 is the earliest we'll see him?

I would guess we won't see him until 2015 because no glams have even been released yet (that I'm aware of at least).

Postby **professorratigan** » Fri Nov 07, 2014 2:24 pm

Ah, I was hoping to get him before the year is out. He's one of my favorites.

Wolf Man was my first Funko from the Universal Monsters series and I agree, he does look amazing. The Gill-Man is also incredible. The detail on all the monsters is great. I can't wait to have them all! I'm a fan of the movies (been finishing up the Universal Classic Monsters set)

I just got the Bride from HT, and the head seems a little wobbly, kinda loose. Is that normal? i can't tell and i think i'm gonna have to go tomorrow to HT to exchange for another

We exchanged two, and got two new ones due to bad paint (big black spots on the white hair). All four of them were like that.

Just me or doesn't anyone else think a flocked wolfman would be awesome!

Dang, that sucks. At least they let you exchange them. Thankfully mine has a real good paint job. i just wish the head didn't seem so loose. it's a small nitpick but i can't helped being bothered by it. At least they got a new shipment of it when i bought it so i don't think i'll have a hard time exchanging her tomorrow.

And yes CP3x, that would be incredible!

Have you tried pushing the head on more? I say that because my Wolfman's head was at a weird angle when I got him, and then when I was showing him to someone his head just POPPED off...which showed me it wasn't on all of the way. I gently pushed it back on and it popped into place and was then straight and correct. I am glad I didn't have to return it!

Postby **witchywoman** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 8:49 am

I bought the Mummy and his left foot doesn't sit flat so he keeps wanting to lean forward and tip over. Anyone else have that problem? If it's a common problem, I won't bother trying to exchange for another one.

My mummy is fine and stands ok, no weird foot placement.

I tried pushing the head in more but i don't think that was the problem. I just came back from HT with a new one. It was still a little wobbly, but now i know that's because of her body. The employee agreed that mine was pretty loose so he let me exchange it. He was real nice about it too. So now i'm happy with Bride now!

I originally was going to return them, but when I got there I just exchanged them for two Frankensteins. The cashier didn't ask me why I was returning them. Or really talk all that much to me. So wasn't a problem. haha

Is it usually a hassle? First time I've ever returned something to hot topic.

Yeah they were all bad at the first hot topic that we got them from, the store had a third, but it looked like the face was scraped and scratched up. Huge shiny spot. Not sure if it would even glow. The one I originally picked out had a huge scratch on the eye, and it went a little bit off the eye, but it wasn't very noticeable unless the light hit it just right. But the black spots on the hair is what made us return them.

Found a better one where the white paint of the hair is slightly off, so the outline of the hair glows. Which I'm really happy with.
