My Creature Loot Fright Crate is shipping from China.  Is that what they usually do now?  None of my TMNT ones came from outside the U.S.

Got my BK Creature from Loot Crate today. Never got a shipping notification and it didn’t come in the usual Loot Crate box. It was just in a plastic bag with a Ben Cooper scarf and an Exorcist pin. It looks like it came directly from China. Very strange. The fact Loot Crate hasn’t updated their site with current monthly themes is making me worried they’re going through financial issues again. Hopefully Wolfman is still on track for this next crate so I can drop them.

Got Nosferatu from my LCS yesterday. He's just a great figure all-around. I love those long-nailed fingers; so creepy and cool- think I'll display him with the keys dangling from the long nails. I know he's not technically a Universal Monster, but I'm throwing him up on the shelf regardless, cuz he just looks so at home among them (if I had any Spongebob figures, I could throw him in there too 🤣)  Would've liked maybe an open mouth head, but it's a small nit. NECA keeps crushing it (though that's nothing new)

Hey okay, I'm glad to hear this, cause I got the same!  Bubble envelope wrapped up with everything inside, no "crate."  I saw the return address and was like "who the hell is this from?"

NECA's Instagram stories looks to be teasing another Classic Universal figure. I can't quite tell who it is, but my first thought was maybe a Dr. Frankenstein? Maybe Jekyll/Hyde? I'm sure someone here will know it immediately.

@joshsquash729 I'm not sure....it COULD be Jeckyl/Hyde, but it might also be Van Helsing. I don't think it's Dr. Frankenstein, unless they are making his lab smock a separate soft goods piece (not out of the realm of possibility).

Maybe it's Ygor? Since they do have permission to use Bela's appearance.

Una O’Connor, or I riot!

 

Heheh but seriously I’d buy her. 
I don’t do insta, so I haven’t seen the shot yet, but any of those suggestions would be great and it would be AMAZING to finally get Edward Van Sloane. Buuuuut I really hope it’s Renfield.

If the image is the jacket pic that I saw earlier, the sculpt is the same as the Hammer Dracula they showed off a while back. Although not a Universal Monster, certainly a classic monster.

@daveb You're definitely correct...it matches up! We all just thought it was a "Universal" monster when they said "Classic" instead. Very excited to get the Lee Dracula!

Ooooh Lee Dracula is the best news of all!! Hammer is my jam, and I’ve been waiting for this for a LONG time.

Can anyone tell me how I can check if my mummy figure is genuine as I think I may have bought a fake?

Yes, I am stoked for Hammer! Really hope they do the Oliver Reed werewolf.
