Also, of the new stuff they have allocated a fixed amount of inventory for their current merchants as well as just for Amazon, and once it is gone that will be it. Apparently there must be a significant lead time on the items as they outsource the manufacturing to China and try to estimate the demand. I spoke w/Gemmy today and they will be adding at least one more life size licensed figure (Freddy-2005; Leatherface-2006; Jason-2007) but would not tell me what it was. Anyone care to venture a guess? I would guess MM, and you know I am not referring to the candy that melts in your mouth and not in your hands. Anyways, if they do put Michael Myers on the website please post cause I really want one. Also, at these prices you can't get too pissed when these items break, for the most part these are good prices even if were solely a static prop. Cheers!

Actually, $80.00 shipping for 6 life size figures is fantastic. Less than $14.00 a figure.
Interesting info. I'm sure you are right about the China lead time. I do work for toy companies that manufacture in China, and the whole lead paint/quality concern has added a significant amount of time to the process.
Mikey is probably a good guess. Now...classic or Rob Zombified?
