There was supposed to be a really cool line of Cryptid figures in, I want to say, 2000, 2001 by a company called Nevermore Toys. First series was Mothman, Jersey Devil, MoMo the Missouri Monster, and Chupy.

The line was supposed to be 6 inch scaled monsters with bases and "victims". They really leaned into the Chupacabra being a weird lizard creature aesthetic.

These ended up never being released.

I guess back in 2013, this guy tried a Kickstarter of this series, and only ended up delivering MoMo, sans victim and base, before disappearing into the void--as these guys often do.

Oh no, I think he shipped more than just MoMo - I received the Chupacabras. It was crap. It was essentially made of chalk and crumbled right out of the box.

Those McF Monsters sets LIT UP MY WORLD in college. So damn cool . . . although there was a QC issue where Dracula frequently broke at the peg of his arm into the torso . . . I went through a few Draculas. The Frankenstein sets had an unabashed Hammer vibe that RULED. And: To date, one of the very few attempts to present a book-accurate Phantom of the Opera with a noseless corpse-face instead of weird burns. And Steve the Victim in the Werewolf set! Best action feature ever: you could dismember him!

Yeah, all of them had QC issues, but those were cool sets.

I was a victim of that Kickstarter too and never got anything. Luckily it was only $100. Could have been much worse with how high some kickstarter sets can get now.

I had those, the first McFarlane Monsters.

They were so much fun. I honestly regret selling them. But you are correct, working, falling chandelier.

I frikken' LOVED those sets. I've almost re-bought them several times, but just don't have the room for them. I worked for Sony PC's back then and my work desk was covered with those sets.

Be cool if he brought them back given how nice the Avatar dio stuff came out.
