Wolfman was also part of series 1. Series 4 also has a TRU exclusive Mole Person.

I have all of them. Personally, I really dig them. They are from Diamond Select, so they have good sculpts but are lacking in the articulation department. You can pose them, but you're not going to be getting super dynamic poses or anything. They definitely don't have the same level of articulation that Diamond has been putting into their Marvel Select line lately.

The single releases are colorized versions of each character, and there are box sets for each series that contain all figures but in a black and white color scheme. Also of note, these figures have two different releases, a normal and a deluxe. The retail release (TRU) are "normal": the figure and a few accessories. Specialty/Comic stores had the "deluxe": figure, accessories and a deluxe base or large scenery. For example: Frankenstein comes with the lab table he was brought to life on, Phantom of the Opera comes with a large pipe organ. The pieces are pretty significant in size and detail.

@Kain: I definitely recommend them if you're into the classic Universal Monsters. But if you're interested in the creature from the black lagoon I suggest one of two things. 1) wait until next October. Diamond is releasing a highly articulated (by Diamond's standards) version with a new sculpt. 2) If you can't wait, go for the older Sideshow 7" figure. The sculpt is superior to the current Diamond Select creature.
