Dang! I *just* picked up the Gill-Man this weekend...now the B&W version is also hitting? My poor wallet! I've only been picking up the color versions of the monsters, but I'll be grabbing the B&W as well, since he's my spirit animal. 

Really excited for the MBV Miner as well!

Found the B&W Creature and Last Stand MacReady at my Target just now. Didn't pick up either- on the few occasions I've found something new at my Target before other places, I end up getting register locked, but it was fun to take a look at them- they definitely look nice! I will say, though, that out of all the color/B&W variants so far, Creature is the one I have the strongest opinion on, with favor to the colored version. It's an awesome sculpt, and looks good no matter what, but the color version and its wash just brings out more detail, I think. I know the B&W is technically the screen accurate one, and I'd fault no one for preferring it, but I'm glad I found the color version first.

So it seems like they’ve closed the book on the first Burger King homage Loot Fright crate and they’re onto officially advertising the second one which is a Dracula figure with a new head sculpt based on the generic non-Lugosi version. It’s also a fanged headsculpt which I remember being something a lot of people wanted in the old thread even though it wasn’t accurate to the film.

 

They’re also still offering a 6-crate plan, so it’s likely that this is just a 4-crate sub-line within the larger, open-ended Loot Fright series. 

 

I didn’t know about these

so I missed the first one?

grabbed Dracula crate

I just found out about the loot crate variants.

I grabbed the current crate, Dracula, what have I missed?

The translucent green Frankenstein's Monster.  I just got mine in, and he is neato.  I really like the shirt, too.  The post cards and pin are whatever.  The figure was the big draw.

I think I’ll get mine tomorrow or Monday based on the tracking. Is the bag resealable?

Yes, he comes in a ziplock bag so you can open him, play around with him, and put him back in the bag good as new.

Are you averse to ordering online?  Because he's available on Best Buy's site right now.

Got my Loot Fright today too (courier forgot to knock the door, luckily I noticed it), the figure is pretty sweet, the clear plastic lets pick up some sculpting details in the face you might have missed and I like the green jacket.

 

I also appericate the pin since I collect those, way better than the tin badges they used to do years ago.

Possibly. I don't know how this is working with them offering up a "six crate" ordering still with Drac being up next. I don't know what the eBay prices will be. It might be obscure enough of a want that it could still be reasonable.

Unless Lootcrate offers up extra stock in their loot vault, it’s likely too late to get Frankenstein. Dracula is the current crate offering. If you purchase the 3 or 6 crate options you are just prepaying for the next 3 or 6 crates. It’s not for multiples of the same crate. If you want multiples of the same crate you need multiple plans. And there is no guarantee that Wolfman and Creature will be in the next two crates although it’s highly likely. I’m doing 1 crate at a time just in case there is a gap.

If I remember right, Franksteins promo images said "start of a new line" and "1 of 6", the latter is why people thought the two remaining remco figures would be in LootCrates.

If NECA really are doing 6 figures what could the remaining ones be? Their own take on what a BK version of the Bride and Phantom would be?
