I can't wait to see more figures in this line and see how far it goes beyond the Mummy, Wolfman, and Dracula figures they've already confirmed. Hopefully they finish out the main roster with Bride of Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, and Phantom of the Opera, but beyond that it's probably unlikely they also tackle non-monster characters like Dr. Frankenstein, Van Helsing, or Dr. Pretorious. The line would have to be hugely popular and sell well enough to keep expanding into secondary characters or sequel monsters and sadly I see NECA quitting after they do the big names that would sell best.

But what I'm really curious to see is what all they have planned for Hammer Horror. It's strange that they haven't teased anything or even mentioned it on Twitter yet ever since first announcing last year that they got the license. I will be so ecstatic to get a Peter Cushing Dr. Frankenstein or Van Helsing, or Christopher Lee's Dracula, Mummy, and Frankenstein monster. The prospects of those from NECA excite me more than their Universal Monsters. It's a dream line for me since I don't think anyone has ever done Hammer action figures before.

On a semi related note, I wish they'd do a Vincent Price figure to scale with these. I don't think anyone has ever done a figure of him. Similarly I'd love a Roddy McDowell Peter Vincent figure from 1985's Fright Night, as that character was the best part of that film and his name was a nod to both Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. A line based on Young Frankenstein would be awesome too
