SCS DIRECT: Big Bucket of Monsters

I just found this new set of 13 plastic figures from SCS Direct on Amazon.  They are about 50-54mm and come in light and dark gray.  There are 11 monster figures and 2 graves.  The demons and cyclops are the best fantasy figures, but they all have some charm. The running mummy is very strange.  I think of mummies as lurching, staggering things.  It is a strange mix.  The vampire, mummy, werewolf, lagoon creature and Frankenstein's monster are clearly a nod to the classic Universal Studios monsters of the black and white film era.  The giant moth is not really even actual moth size.  It does not really work as a counterpart to the Godzilla figure.

This is the same company that put out the Big Bucket of Zombies.  I love that they put out such big series.  You don't see series of 10+ figures sold all together very often these days.  This set comes in the same kind of plastic tube as the Big Bucket of Zombies, which does not hold up very well.  I would like to see this company take a shot at a real fantasy set.

I have recently learned that SCS is working on a fantasy set.  My friend Joseph Svec emailed the company to complement them on the monsters set.  Someone at the company wrote back to him and said they were already working on a fantasy set.  I can't wait. 

Joseph recently heard that the fantasy set will be ready next Spring.
