I love the Chupacabras. Even knowing it likely was just made up by someone who had watched Species doesn't matter to me.

For years I've tried to track down an old figurine by a company called Reds in Japan. Never got one, but I like that this figure resembles it.

So glad we’re getting the Species-inspired Chuppie and not the Dogpool looking creature everyone just decided they must be.

If there’s gonna be a weird blood drinking creature let it be a weird creature, not “a dog”

Was worried the “dog” version had totally erased weird little guy version so I’m happy this is finally coming!
 
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.

Definitely more interested in the Cup right now, but I could still be convinced on Dogman. I do like the wolf I got from them, QC issues aside.
 
Honestly, I love things like the Dogman and Chupacabras. Since there's no licensing fee, I'm hoping for more reasonable prices on these. Otherwise I'll pass like the Youngblood figures.

This made me nostalgic for those McFarlane horror sets with the smaller figures and playsets. I used to admire them as I stocked them at TRU. Phantom set had a working chandelier?

I had those, the first McFarlane Monsters.

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