NECA Teases New Figure Based on Lon Chaney’s ‘The Phantom of the Opera’
Once again, NECA are coming for your wallets. Kicking off their 31 Nights of Fright, NECA has teased a brand-new figure of Lon Chaney’s Phantom from 1925’s The Phantom of the Opera!
Details for The Phantom are still to come, including whether this figure will be in the same scale as the previously-revealed (and available) figures based on the Universal Classic Monsters, or if it’s in line with NECA’s “Mego” style of figures. The latter line most recently added Adrienne Barbeau’s Stevie Wayne from John Carpenter’s The Fog.
As for what’s to come next during the “month full of teases, first looks, behind the scenes AND MORE“, NECA has teased more figures for its Alien line, but as usual one can only speculate. Personally, I’m hoping that NECA finally shows off a figure for the Gill-man from Creature From The Black Lagoon, or a non-April O’Neil version of The Bride. But, I guess that’s just part of the fun of waiting.
In the meantime, if you’re looking to revisit the 1925 classic, it’s sadly not part of Universal’s upcoming second volume of Universal Classic Monsters: Icons of Horror set (or the first volume), but is available on Blu-Ray from Kino Lorber.
Following in the wake of dolls based on The Shining, Stephen King’s IT, Beetlejuice, Gremlins 2, Elvira, and Annabelle, the Creature from the Black Lagoon is getting a Monster High doll.
On Friday, April 26th at 9am PT, Mattel Creations, Mattel’s e-commerce and content platform for creators, collaborations, and innovators, will be releasing the newest Monster High Skullector doll, Creature From the Black Lagoon!
In partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, Monster High is reimagining the iconic creature who lies in the mysterious depths of the Amazon just in time for the 70th anniversary of the classic film. The prehistoric amphibious humanoid dazzles in Monster High fashion with glimmering green gills, shimmering scales, and killer harpoon heels.
The Creature from the Black Lagoon Monster High doll features…
- 10.5 inches tall with 11 points of articulation
- New face sculpt (made specifically for this doll) on original scaly body with fin and gill details
- Wears a scaly swimsuit with pearlescent amphibious body armor
- Accessorized with anchor-accented fin headpiece and webbed harpoon heel boots
- Includes custom lagoon-inspired doll stand and premium packaging
On sale to the public beginning April 26, the limited edition doll will be selling for $65. These Monster High “Skullector” dolls never last long, so be sure to act fast this coming Friday!
