Preview of the NECA Universal Monsters Wolf Man

I wonder if they'll include a human head and hands!

Rad.

Here's hoping for a black and white version will soon follow.

Someone asked him on Twitter if all the monsters will get B&W and Color versions, and he replied "no, not all." It's kind of annoying since I'd probably want them all the be the same.

Well I'm hoping its just because the Metaluna Mutant was in color.

This was my assumption as well. No reason for the This Island Earth figure to be B+W.

I didn't even remember, they announced they're doing that?

Honestly, they better if they’re charging $30+ a figure now. These days those Ultimate offerings are looking very slim for the price you pay.

I'm a huge Wolfman fan, but I'm not digging the color choices. The very dark fur with the pale skin doesn't look good to me. Maybe it'll look better with a clearer photo.

No, but the good ol' Metaluna Mutant IS a Universal Monster, so there's a chance.

If NECA indeed made a Mutant, I'd totally buy it.

It varies. MacReady and the upcoming Nightmare Demon both come with quite a bit but on the other hand Starlight and Frankenstein's Monster are packed light.

I'm actually not digging the sculpt, myself. I think Diamond's version actually captured the likeness a little better which is crazy. I must be missing something...

It’s the inconsistency that bugs me then I guess. You also have cases where standard releases like the Defenders of the Earth figures, which aren’t ultimate are costing the same as ultimate figures.

I walked into a Walmart once and saw a 40th anniversary Big Chap which comes with nothing on the pegs next to the Ultimate Big Chap which comes with an egg, facehugger and chestbuster. Both were priced at $30… oh well I guess.

As far as the Wolfman is concerned, I’ll likely get him seeing as I doubt there be another chance to snag a well articulated classic Wolfman from another company, but I’ll definitely be on the lookout for a deal.

I’m assuming it’s just this extreme expression looking off since it’s not how we typically picture him. The standard head surely will feature the iconic portrait we’re used to. I had a similar reaction to the alternate Frankenstein’s Monster heads.

Also I can’t stand the DST Wolf Man only because it can’t stand lol

Universal Monsters Wolf Man 7-Inch Scale Figure Officially Announced by NECA - The Toyark - News

Not bad, like the alternate head for the Wolfman. not sure on the Larry Talbot head (might be oversaturated and losing some detail). I hope they do a B&W version.

wow- love this!

Amazing. I was hoping for but not necessarily expecting an alternate human face/body parts. I'm glad NECA didn't cheap out this one for the $30 "ultimate" pricing. Now bring on the Mummy and Dracula reveals!

Love that a Larry Talbot head/hands are included in this. Is this the first time it's been offered in the 6/7" scale? Pretty damn awesome.

Yeah this seems like a pretty good package. I'm not sure I'll bite for this one, I don't know the last time I even watched this movie, may have been the 90's lol.

Serious Question:
Are there any Abbot and Costello figures that would be in scale with these?
I seriously doubt there are.

How awesome would it be if NECA made some?

It could be the colors getting washed out.
It does, and it does not look like Larry Talbot.

Now seeing it in color, makes me wish the Benicio Del Toro film went over better. That was a fun mix of Hammer and Universal. Also loved how Benicio was channeling Lon Chaney Jr.

Pale skin, weird wolf mustache, eyes looking to the side...hard pass for me. Plus, is that round thing a stand? I guess it has a hard time standing on its own too.

That would be pretty damn awesome! I just watched Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein last night! Had it on my DVR when Svengoolie ran it a couple months ago. hahaha So good!
