Being a huge Universal Monster fan, I was wondering if NECA would ever release a Lon Chaney, Hunchback of Notre Dame?

A few months ago, I proclaimed that my Marvel figure collecting had come to an end, the shelves were loaded.

But, stupidly,for no reason, today, I entered our local Zing store, immediately I glanced and my eyes saw "OWL", well, it drew me to him, and eventually came home with me.

🙄🤣🤣

I wouldn't call him a grail, but he was a figure I'd like to have on the shelf, if I ever came across him.

Jungle Disguise Dutch, happy to have him.

Finally, found three Nightmare Demons and a reasonable price.

All the pieces in their place.

In my previous post about Lon Chaney, Phantom of the Opera figure, I mentioned the Masque of the Red Death (B&W), happily, he's now secured on Pre-order, another classic Universal Monster in black and white.

It always gives me great satisfaction adding a figure to the collection, but there's something special about the Universal Monster Black and White line.

I've added The Phantom, in readiness to swap head and hands, which are an added extract accessory in the Black and White Masque of the Red Death version.

I'll be able to stand them side by side on the shelf.

The Phantom of the Opera had 3 pre-screenings in 1925, before the official release date. No colour was used in those 3 screenings.

So, on a technicality, the Masque of the Red Death (black and white) preceded the Red version.
