I mean how he was done on the old 80s Handbooks. Kind of a pale yellowish white color.
For a minute, I thought this thread was for all the huge Silver Age Kirby beasties - Orrgo, Taboo, Zzutak, Manoo, Goom. And I was all ‘hell yeah, a home for me on the new board!’
But I’ll take the Halloween characters too, thanks very much.
This would be amazing. Though a part of me worries that Hasbro in it's infinite wisdom would try to really cash in on the whole seasonal Halloween theme and we end up with 2 packs like...
Creepy Cap (Orange and Black Captain America w/Jack-o-Shield) and The Zombie
Iron Frank (Green/Brown Iron Man with stitches painted on and neck bolts) and The Frankenstein Monster
Wolferine (Wolverine...hairier than usual???) and Werewolf by Night
Spooky Spidey (Green/Orange Costume with a Black Cape) and Dracula
And before you say that is ridiculous just look at the Star Wars Black Series seasonal figures....
@jettstorm Ouch! Some bean counter at Hasbro is probably pushing for those for next years Halloween right now. Thanks for putting them on the right track...
Honestly I wouldn’t say no to some Halloween-themed ML offerings. Could be fun. But yes, it would be a huge bummer to have the Monsters locked up in two-packs like that. Now, if they wanted to pair a Monster with an appropriate hero/adversary . . .
-Dracula vs 70s Blade
-Werewolf by Night vs first appearance Moon Knight
-Monster of Frankenstein vs Ulysses Bloodstone
-Simon Garth, Zombie vs classic Brother Voodoo
. . . now maybe then we would be onto something.

Man... now whatever actually does happen I'm going to be disappointed it isn't this
A hearty yes to all these suggestions and hurray for the return of 1-A-Day.
Living Mummy vs Living Pharaoh
Gargoyle vs Gabriel Rosetti
Manphibian and Nina Price the Vampire by Night
Griffin and Headlok
These're other 2packs I'd like. 😀
I'd buy them all, but really would love a Garth Zombie. It was one of my favorite TB figures.
I'd love to see a box set of the 1998 team the Supernaturals, the alternate reality versions of Black Cat, Brother Voodoo, Ghost rider (Blaze), Gargoyle, Satana, and Werewolf by Night. Maybe even throw in their main villain, Jack O'Lantern. I LOVE his design, in this reality.
I wouldn't be in for a large multipack, but definitely count me in for a classic Dracula vs Blade 2-pack.
Badly want Monsters, but I think Hasbro will decide two-packs are toast at the new price points. Plus I think they only want to do two packs if there's a ton of re-use for at least one figure. Feels like the monsters would need a lot of new tooling.
I actually cannibalized the old ToyBiaz Dracula head and vest/coat overlay onto a modern Hasbro suited body with cape and it works pretty well as a placeholder. But I still display the old Werewolf By Night, Frankenstein Monster, and Simon Garth Zombie as well.

Dracula and FA Blade would both have some reuse and new parts right? Some of the suit bodies for Dracula and some of the Wonderman / Red Skull body for Blade.
@thor-el I display all 4. I think the sculpts really hold up but they certainly are a little small. Not sure modern era Hasbro will paint these with the finesse they deserve. They certainly have a lot of the parts for a classic WWBN now.
Classic Blade and Dracula are both at least 75% done within current available parts. Wonder Man with new torso overlay plus head(s) and accessories/details gives us Blade, and The Rose with new/different torso overlay, new head(s), hands and cloak gives us Dracula. A lot of other monsters will need much more original tooling, but Blade and Dracula are eminently doable as “standard wave” Marvel Legends.
