Thom, the Dracula and Wolfman mini-busts were available a couple years back as exclusives when you purchased special boxed sets of the Universal CLASSIC MONSTERS dvd's. There were four in total (though sadly, for me, the Creature From the Black Lagoon was not among them). They pop-up occasionally (sold separately from the dvd sets) on eBay.

Andrew-Green Arrow is $20 on Matty collectors website only. The first set of 4 figures will be at Toys R Us and online this spring for $15-$20.
David- what was the fourth bust? I thought there were only 3: Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein...

Dave - I'll take a look the next time I'm at my brother's place, but I'm pretty sure it was the Mummy.

I only remember 3 Universal Monster busts - Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein. All 3 came together as a set with their corresponding movies. I have not seen a Mummy, but would love to get one if available!

Dracula and Wolfman mini-busts +++
Not crazy about them. Was in fact surprised they turned up inside the dvd sets.

Pretty good Goliath. May have to pick up that one for "sentimental reasons". Returning to comic reading in the Seventies, I first "met" Clint in this role, in the Kree/Skrull War.Hope that's not the final version of the face, tho.

Dick Grayson was 10 years old when he became Robin, and is nowpushing 30. How old do we imagine Bruce Wayne was when he adopted Dick?How old does that make him now? How old does it make everyone else? Theinsanity of how ages (and aging) is handled at DC is beyondcomprehension. Hal Jordan was arbitrarily aged, replete with theaddition of white temples, then bumped from his role as Green Lanternbecause he's "too old".* Something similar happened to Oliver Queen.After I left Superman, other writers began insisting I had made him 35(I had not). This means that with the way other characters have beenseen to age since then -- my version of Wonder Girl, case in point --Clark should be into his 40s by now. ---- Per current canon Dick was 12 when he became Robin. Bruce was around 27. I've estimated that Superman's debut is now set around 15-16 years ago. So Dick is around 25-26, Clark is around 39, and Bruce is...yeah...over 40...but he's taken a couple of dips in the Lazarus Pit, so that would explain some things.

so great a design, Hercules started using (a variation of) it years and years later.

In the Bernard Cornwell book AGINCOURT, archers are described as incredibly strong, with very developed upper bodies. That was something I hadn't realized before, but makes sense.
