I'm so lazy that I copy/paste pics on this board, and half the time I'm not at all confident they show up for anyone else.  I'll link reddit instead:

Picked up the new Bio-Exorcist Beetlejuice figure today at Walmart. I removed the old striped suit version from my display years ago since its articulation isn't up to current standard. This figure will fill that gap. Looking forward to opening it. At least three alternate faces/heads, not sure of the other accessories.

I found the striped suit Beetlejuice on clearance at Walmart this morning for $10. Being that that's about what he is worth and I don't have any Beetlejuice figures I went ahead and grabbed him.

@normdapito He's fantastic. Picked it up and have been having a ton of fun swapping the faceplates and trying to figure out how I want it displayed.  I kinda wish he had more hand gestures, but it's still good.

Out of nowhere, I got my NYCC exclusives delivered today.  I also have been getting a bunch of emails about other things shipping. I hope that means they're working their bugs out. And I hope that means other people will get their stuff too.

Ardeth Bey Mummy is in-stock on Walmart's site.  At least it is for me, I got one a couple days ago via delivery so maybe it's only reflecting store stock?:

Nice surprise.

Nice to see VH listed somewhere, I really hope we get Doc Frankenstein (my fav of the Hammer series') thanks to those likeness rights.

I'd all but forgotten about Van Helsing, so it's nice to see he's still coming. Never did pick up Lee Dracula- it never appeared in stores around me.

Striped Suit Beetlejuice is a nice surprise. I got the re-release last year, but I'd obviously quite like to upgrade it to something more detailed/articulated. It's his most iconic costume, even if it's arguably his least worn (at least in the first movie).

Ultimate Jaws figures are a surprise. Hopefully we'll get all 3 men this time, and maybe even that long lost Bruce?

Love that VH comes with an alternate torso. I was worried a while back about his leg articulation, but it seems this won't be an issue.

Striped Beetlejuice! Guess I can cancel my Figuarts pre-order. That sucker was expensive, and this one will look better on my monsters/munsters/creeps shelves anyway.

Reading the description, turns out it's the one from the sequel, not the original film...

Unfortunately, per my last post, turns out the Beetlejuice is from the sequel. 🙁

I knew Jaws was coming, Randy mentioned it on a radio show at some point last year.  Definitely hoping they worked the Scheider thing out this time around, and I could see the Bruce being a NECA Store exclusive.

@cmoney Hmm, that is interesting. Might be a close enough for me. I actually liked the new one quite a bit.

I didn't hate the sequel either. Definitely not as good as the first, but it was still mindless fun, and it was fun seeing Keaton slip back into the role so effortlessly. He didn't really look that different, just a bit older and rounder. Depending on how it looks and what it comes with, I'd still add it to the collection. I'm sure that, when all is said and done, we'll have an Ultimate Beetlejuice for pretty much all his major looks onscreen. If we got like a dozen Pennywises, surely we can get a handful of Beetlejuices.

Man do I regret my Pennywise purchases (not the 90s one).  I haven't even opened any of them.
