The next Grey Hulk?

[Buttmunch]

The newsletter says next week the newsletter will feature an EXTREMELY limited Universal Monster item. Could this end up as the next grey Hulk? I just hope it is a black and white 1:1 bust and not a new 1/6 monster figure. While I'd like a new figure, I don't want it to be a pain to get.

[FrankenFan]

I doubt it's a 1:6 figure.

It could be a Silver Screen Edition 1:1 Dracula bust with a CAPE AND MEDALLION! CAPE AND MEDALLION!! CAPE AND MEDALLION!!!

Nah.

http://www.kurtgoldzung.com/MB/ygor_bnnr.jpg

[Buttmunch]

It could be an Ardeth Bey 1:1 Black and white bust too.

[tomandshell]

No sniveling that we didn't warn you in advance!

That was funny!

It's going to be IN STOCK, so make sure that your wallets are ready to take an immediate hit and snag one of the 50 Creature From the Black Lagoon PFs...

[lcummins]

Why, oh why, does Sideshow do things like this? Just over two weeks before Comic Con and everyone is trying to pay for SDCC exclusives and save money if they are going, and we get deluged with product shipping all at once! Then, on top of that, they decide NOW would be a great time to release an in-stock, extremely limited product!!

Sideshow, for the love of Pete, please consider your collectors and everything that is shipping when you consider pulling stunts like this!! :mad:

And yes, that is all it is... a stunt!!! There is absolutely no need to do something like this when it obviously has been in production for several months and could easily have been a preorder!!! :tap

[creecher]

Could be the Bela Bust extremely limited with CAPE AND MEDALLION! CAPE AND MEDALLION!! CAPE AND MEDALLION!!!
OMG

Yeah I jumped the gun. You are right Lonnie. It must be in the warehouse now. At least the newsletter subscribers will get first pop at this before any Con crowd.

[Anton Phibes]

If it is an in stock item...it cannot be a Lugosi Dracula 1;1 bust with CAPE AND MEDALLION. My guess is that it is a Silver Screen Ardeth Bey 1:1 bust limited to 25 pieces or less. Not that I have any inside info. or anything...cause I don't. If its a new PF or something that I really want I better be able to get me one. If this turns into a limited to only 10 pieces kinda thing, I will be disturbed. Jus' sayin'.

[Mookeylama]

what time do the newsletters get posted/emailed anyway?

[tomandshell]

what time do the newsletters get posted/emailed anyway?
Thursday nights between 5:30 and 8:00 PST. But most often, between 6:30 and 7:00.

[Fritz]

...snag one of the 50 Creature From the Black Lagoon PFs...

I will be on vacation next week away from any technology so if this super special limited item has anything to do with the Creature from the Black Lagoon or Lord of the Rings for that matter, I will have my pitchfork and torch ready to dish out some vengence. :emperor

It's definitely not LOTR, it's a Universal Monster item. And since it's in stock, it will be a variation on an existing/recently shipped item. I think that Anton has the best guess with a B&W version of the Ardeth bust.

[Agent0028]

I just hope its something I don't want...

[lcummins]

I was really hoping they would not do Silver Screen versions of the 1:1 busts! I can't imagine it can be anything else, but it just doesn't make sense on an item this expensive that was pretty limited already... :confused: I hope it isn't, but then, it would be something that hasn't been released and that would be even worse!

...and I still can't see the reason for doing this to their collector base! :rolleyes:

I couldn't agree more Lonnie.:confused:

I might have to cancel a few things to pick up this "item" if it's something I want. If SS would of just done this at a different time I probably would of bought both items. Now it looks like I'll have to "pick and choose" what I want.

Yeah, me too! I was already struggling to pay for the SDCC exclusives, have money to pay for SDCC itself, pay for existing pre-orders that are shipping and paying for already shipped stuff, I didn't need an in-stock limited item that I either have to get when released or risk missing it! It boggles the mind...

[Buttmunch]

What about a silver screen edition of the Invisable Man 1/6? I think he is one of the few originals (ie not a frankenstein variant, etc.) that hasn't been made in black and white. The Metaluna Mutant too.

[Dr.Mirakle32]

The Mummy doesn't have a 12" silver screen edition either. And the Metaluna Mutant doesn't need to be in b/w, since THIS ISLAND EARTH was shot in color.

[lcummins]

The Mummy doesn't have a 12" silver screen edition either. And the Metaluna Mutant doesn't need to be in b/w, since THIS ISLAND EARTH was shot in color.

I forgot about the Invisible Man and the Metaluna Mutant! As far as the Mutant goes, he was released in a Silver Screen Edition for both the Little Big Head series and the 8" series, so there is no reason they wouldn't do a 12" SSE version.

[Aerosmith]

What about the Bride? She doesnt have SSE either. I hope this isnt something I want. Im going to be on vacation next week.

I assume 12" figures cost more to make and sell, so making an innacurate figure of a character who never appeared that way on film, wouldn't be very wise, especially when there are more characters who deserve the SSE treatment.

Thanks Tom! i'll have to watch out for it

BTW, I haven't been keeping up with SS's Marvel stuff. What does the "Grey Hulk" reference mean?

[hairlesswookiee]

BTW, I haven't been keeping up with SS's Marvel stuff. What does the "Grey Hulk" reference mean?

i think it's talking about something super small in number that people will go ga-ga over. the gray hulk only had a run of 50 so of course people went nuts when they didnt get him.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

What ever it is SSC has got there for us: it's been communicated in a unambiguous way, to all newsletter subscribers, in a more than acceptable time frame. That's the way it should be. I'm happy about that. Everybody interested in this "EXTREMELY limited Universal Monster" can/should be prepared.

I'm very excited to find out what it is. Unfortunately, I don't think us Universal Monsters fans will be the only ones prepared for this.

[occulum]

I've got it.
SS feels so bad about the SSE PF Wolfman paint job that theyre custom painting a few themselves and offering them to the public to somewhat clear their conscience.
do I seem bitter about this still? .... well Im not ....... NOT! :lol

I honestly hope its something I dont want.

like a recasting/release of an SSE Bernie Frank bust. I really wouldnt want one of those.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I'm very excited to find out what it is. Unfortunately, I don't think us Universal Monsters fans will be the only ones prepared for this.
Yes Batty, I'm excited too. And of course you are right: we will not be the only ones anticipating this. The scalpers are probably already selling the item on the Evil-Bay, before they even know what it is!! That is pretty sad. But more importantly, all interested collectors who've read this weeks newsletter will have the same opportunity to snatch that mysterious item. And why? Because they know what the deal is. They are informed. This time, there where no hints to find. Straight forward information. I like it better that way.

[Darth Rage]

I'm very excited to find out what it is. Unfortunately, I don't think us Universal Monsters fans will be the only ones prepared for this.

You are probably right. Prepare the sideshow servers to get "Anakin'd" :lol

[Buttmunch]

There should be a priority pre-order for this :maul

Well, if it were just a normal preorder you would be right, but when it is going to be "in-stock" and you have to have the funds available with only a week's notice, then it will be very difficult for most any collector to "be prepared" if it turns out to be something expensive like a SSE 1:1 bust or a 1/4 PF figure. I don't call that an "acceptable time frame" at all!!! :cool:

[the Doctor]

well...if its in stock then its not something new.
my guess is that its ardeth bey as the mummy 1:1 bust limited to 50.
it wouldnt be difficult to change the costume for mummy wraps.
it would also tie in nicely with the mummy 1/4 pf.
i bet alot of people would go mad to have a mummy bust

I reeeeaaaaalllyy hope you are really most sincerely WRONG. I am one of those that would go mad. Mercy on me. I cannot afford another one so soon.

[dr2red]

Whatever it is I will be sitting on the comp waiting.
If it is something I would want I will pick it up . If it is not I will pass
and let someone who really wants it buy it.

[Dr.Mirakle32]

That would be funny if it was a 12" Silver Screen Edition Ygor from Son of Frankenstein, limited to only 25.

[Universalrocks]

Gee, I need to read all the posts on here. I wondered why nobody had commented on the recent newsletter post. Not a Hulk fan so never opened the post to see what it was all about. So I started a new post on the subject sorry guys:o :o

[kain4521]

That would be funny if it was a 12" Silver Screen Edition Ygor from Son of Frankenstein, limited to only 25.

Ouch that might stir up more stink than the grey hulk.

[creecher]

I think that would smell like a breath of fresh air. I would pass on the SSE, but would be happy knowing there was a coloured Ygor on the way. Not likely, because the coloured versions usually come out first. Now if it were a coloured Ygor...... Nah. That isn't going to happen.

The suspense is killing me. I hope it lasts.

Hey, wait. Don't tell me the Frankenstein Four foot statue is nearly sold out. OMG.

[Darklord Dave]

Creech, you've nailed it!

It's a SSE of the 4 ft. Frankenstein little big head - limited edition of 1! (and they won't be able to sell that either.)

[Bannister]

:rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl

[creecher]

I don't know what the edition size of the five foot Ratfink was, but that managed to sell out. It has made me wonder, sure enough.

[lcummins]

As far as I can determine, the Rat Fink was an open edition so they could sell out any time they wanted. :monkey5

and I was just having a nice time wondering, instead of fretting about Friday. :lol :monkey5

If you check SS website they have a little clock that keeps PST time, so around 6:00p according to their clock the newsletter should go up. But its really anyones guess as to the exact time.

I will be away from the computer for about thirty minutes, between 7 and 7:30 PM PST, so with my luck as a factor, it's pretty much guaranteed to go up during that half hour.

:sick

[mlarsen]

Man, I won't be home until later this evening. I hope I don't miss anything to important. :confused:

[oxbeard]

Well with the Leia news, my dread has actually been eliminated for this evening. I'm anxious to see what the surprise is, but will no longer be able to afford it regardless :D

[abstractharmony]

I wonder if the 75th Anniversary of Universal Monsters has anything to do with this?

Ah - I'll miss it anyway as I'll be tucked up in bed. So because of this it will be something unbelieveable and I'll miss it - c'est la vie

[Gruson]

My guess is it will be a silver screen Ardeth Bey 1:1 Scale Bust, only 25 available.

Not sure how many would be interested in that though. We will see soon.

[Mookeylama]

i'm sure 25 people would be but it won't be a Gray Hulk lol. when's the newsleter come out? tonight?

[Alice Adrenochrome]

What ever goes up for order tonight, I sure hope SSC does not cancel the order by error...

[galactiboy]

I'm very interested to find out what it is... I'd like it to be a cool 1/6 figure, but my guess (and what others seem to think) is it will be something bigger and more expensive. Oh well, I can't be sad if I don't collect it :monkey3

[Migwit]

I wouldn't mind a Silver Screen Ardeth Bey (I luuuuurve my 'color version' so v. v. much!), but I'd like to see something different. However, since this item will be 'in stock', it is most likely a variant of an already sculpted piece, so Mr. Silver Screen Bey isn't all that unlikely. :monkey1

[Vince]

couldn't this one be one of those new Legendary Scale Busts ???

[lcummins]

I think I'm having an anxiety attack... the wait is too much... :monkey4

[DannieDarKo]

Me too............ :rolleyes:

[Darth Rage]

I must admit, my curiosity has peaked....waiting is the hardest part, eh boys?

[ferlin]

3 hours more and I will go to my work!

[galactiboy]

So of course the newsletter wouldn't be posted at 6pm... well now we get to wait and see when it actually pops up.

[Giant Chicken]

I hope it posts in the next 15 min. because I have to leave!!!!

Waiting is the hardest part? Staying awake you mean. It's friggin' 3.30 AM here in Europe. Where's the newsletter SSC?

With this bloody slow internet connection of RUSSIA, I have no chance to grab this anyway, but still I wonder what will it be

I wish I was in Turkey now :monkey2

it's over 3.30 am now ! must sleep soon ;;; have to work tomorrow...
maybe I can call in sick !

[tomandshell]

If it's a $550 full scale bust variant that most of the fans already own in color, it won't sell out in minutes.

(Hours, yes.)

[MONSTER]

Is everyone just refereshing the newsletter page?

[Giant Chicken]

Yes, that page and this page! :rolleyes:

[tomandshell]

Yes, but I have to leave in fifteen minutes.

It will go up in sixteen.

Yep, I probably will not be buying something like that
will see

I'm just hopping back and forth... eating a snack, checking back. Whatever it is I probably won't want it, and wouldn't even be able to afford it. But it'd be nice to know I could've got it :lol

[Vince]

Yes, that page and this page! :rolleyes:
me too, and if it's the ardeth bey bust in b&w I won't buy it since i just got my regular one in last week !
that would be too much of Ardeth to handle in one week
and two almost identical busts would be a bit too crazy!

[NSFolsom]

I'm at work right now with nothing better to do but wait and post here. I've been doing alot of reading of threads here when I haven't been answering the phone. Bring on the newsletter, Sideshow.

EDIT: Wow, that was a boring post, huh? I'm really excited for the newsletter, I SWEAR!!! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!

[ZombieReign]

is it the Wolfman?

[galactiboy]

Get to it Ardeth Bey, SS only 15! Still available when...

[Vince]

it's online and a bit as expected it's Ardeth in B&W....

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I pass on this one.

[NSFolsom]

It's up! SNACK-ATTACK, MOTHER****ER!

[Vince]

only 15; nice edition size
anyone will buy it ?
just saw it's 100$ more expensive then the regular one.

As a die hard coollector of the Universal Monsters it's hard to let this one pass.
But another 600 dollars for almost the same bust is a bit too much

damn you Sideshow for making the monsters both in colour and b&w.
So hard to resist !

[Mookeylama]

gone already! i passed

[gambit]

hahaha

I was ordering and in the middle it says,

OOOPPSSS
already sold out

I never expect to buy with this bloody slow internet lines anyway :monkey4

[MONSTER]

Why can't I find the link in the Newsletter?

[galactiboy]

The page isn't even up anymore... guess its gone. I guess if I were unscrupulous I could have pre-ordered one and scalped it. But I think I would have to be a real jerk to do that. But its nice to know I could have :monkey3

[SolidLiquidFox]

I passed. Tempting but gotta keep that credit card nice and fresh for the upcoming onslaught. Sold out pretty quickly though.

[Vince]

it's gone by the moment.
the page isn't available anymore...

strange

[EVILFACE]

Damn, 15. Pretty rare piece.

[MONSTER]

Not that I was going to order it but, where was the link in the Newsletter?:confused:

[oxbeard]

Honestly hadn't really had any plans to order, but it was hard to resist the urge

[SolidLiquidFox]

Honestly hadn't really had any plans to order, but it was hard to resist the urge

Do you have your Vintage Monsters interest selected? The best way to ensure that you don't miss anything is to 'select all' preferences. When you log-in to your newsletter account, you will see them with check-marks on the right of your screen :duff

[Vince]

the page is back.
I had to pass on this one, but seems a very nice one too.

So hard to chose between colour and b&w, especially for the PF ones...

Hope someone who has both of these will make some pics of the two busts next to each other

[Mookeylama]

i think it was available to order for about 90 seconds, as i was refreshing the newsletter rapidly and got to it really quick. i expected it to go that fast. i mean, there's at least 15 scalpers (ok, fans too) who knew about it.

[Bannister]

just for the heck of it I put my name on the wait list. sideshow really likes their super limited items to be grey don't they.:D

[Mookeylama]

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Yes, that was fun. And now: good night all.

[warlock664]

Glad I'm not a collector of the 1:1 UNI Monster Busts; this would feel like a kick in the crotch, and would likely cause me to abandon the line altogether. I mean, geez, 15 ?!!!! What realistic chance does that give the average fan of completing their set? I felt the same way about the Super-limited SSE SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (10 pieces); it doesn't seem like Sideshow Collectibles is being very appreciative or considerate of their core audience when they do something like this. IMO, of course.

[Universalrocks]

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! But I knew if it was the B&W bust I did not need it since the color one is fine with me.

[Gruson]

My guess was pretty good!

I was off by 10 though.

[tomandshell]

If it's a $550 full scale bust variant that most of the fans already own in color, it won't sell out in minutes.

But if it's $650, it'll sell out in SECONDS!!!



(Looks like my prediction was wrong this time...)

[TOE]

I'm really happy for those 15 people but where is the 1:1 VAMPYRE?!!! :naughty

[rogueboy]

My only complaint is that, again, a very limited piece is offered at a time tha't's not really convenient for foreign customers....believe it or not, but some of us have to get some sleep in order to work :o .

[ferlin]

I got the bust I only have one hour to sleep before I go to work but sleep we can do when we die.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

My only complaint is that, again, a very limited piece is offered at a time tha't's not really convenient for foreign customers....believe it or not, but some of us have to get some sleep in order to work :o .

I agree. As a foreign customer, you never stand a chance buying something that limited, because it'll always be gone in the morning.
Anyway, I'm happy that SSC announced it properly this time. Milk and cookies kept me awake, and I actually could have ordered the bust, if I wanted too.

[Phil]

My only complaint is that, again, a very limited piece is offered at a time tha't's not really convenient for foreign customers....believe it or not, but some of us have to get some sleep in order to work :o .

Yeah, but the cash you saved by not getting that bust is like a day or more of work. Everybody wins.

I'd be pissed if this was something other than just a repainted variant. But I got the color one; all is well.

[lcummins]

Yeah, but the cash you saved by not getting that bust is like a day or more of work. Everybody wins...

Hmmm? Where do you work? Is there an opening? :google

damn...when I backed out of the order after hitting submit apparently the order still went through. I got no email notice that night. I just got a shipping notice today on this item thinking it was one of my Hulks.

[Bonehead15]

No offense but this was the most convenient time to post this. SS is a US based company so it only makes sense that they would offer this at at time where their biggest group of customers could purchase it, which is what they did. What would of made you happy? SS put this item on sale at a time where it would of been convenient for you but piss off their core collectors? That's company suicide.

I know it sucks when you are a collector and a certain item you want isn't available to you cause of your geologic location. Do you know how many times I've missed out on items that have been released overseas cause I live in the US? You should feel lucky that SS even deals with iternational customers. I wish some of the Japaneese companys would let US customers buy direct from them like SS does.

[Domer]

this at at time where their biggest group of customers could purchase it, which is what they did.
You have any numbers of the money SS gets from the US and all other countries? Got it from a palantir?


What would of made you happy?
[QUOTE]
Make maybe, 5, pieces available for sale only for foreign people. Hard to imagine, but there are collectors outside the US. But i dont think that would bring more $$. So it would only produce costs.

[QUOTE=Bonehead15]

I know it sucks when you are a collector and a certain item you want isn't available to you cause of your geologic location. Do you know how many times I've missed out on items that have been released overseas cause I live in the US? You should feel lucky that SS even deals with iternational customers. I wish some of the Japaneese companys would let US customers buy direct from them like SS does.

What makes me happy, is the belive that the people at SSC do not think like you.

I know the current high bidder; he is a very nice guy and was really disappointed to have missed this. It looks like he really wants it too!

He started it at a good opening price; including Sideshow shipping, listing fees, final value fees and PayPal fees, if it ended at that price, he would actually lose a bit. Hopefully someone who really wanted this will get it.
