Thread: Mona Lott Vampiress: Anybody Have Info??

Tweet

Hi! The title basically says it all. I am looking for info on the Gemmy Mona Lott Vampiress prop. I asked about her in another thread, assuming that she had never been produced, only to be told that she was sold but just not popular. If anybody could give me any additional info of where she was/is sold (I WANT ONE!!!) and maybe a real pic (not a stock photo) or video of her in action...
Any and all answers/info are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Anybody??? I know there's experts out there that can help me. Please- I am desperate!!!

I'm going to do this one more time to bump this thread up. I'm just sooo curious about this prop, and I know there are people here who can help with some answers. So please, anybody who can tell me anything about this prop, please come forward and do so!

I checked around to see if I could "dig something up" for you but no luck yet. I checked the obvious YouTube etc... Hopefully others will join in on the search, pick their brains and help you find the prop.

I suspect that Gemmy released this figure as a test market item. I don' t remember where it sold. They do a single test market item every year to evaluate consumer trends and profitability. Mona Lott was distributed by JMarcus Toys and Sunstar Inc. in '10. Very limited run. Your chances of finding her are really really slim. Sry. She retailed for $100.

Update~ Sunstar Inc. did pulled her from the catalog last year. Not sure why.

Only $100- that's a steal! When you say "very limited run," what do you mean? 100? 10? I have no idea what a regular sized run for a life size animated prop is, so I don't have any idea. Also, is it possible that there are regular collectors out there that have her, and not just companies? Because if that's the case, I wouldn't be too surprised to see her on eBay someday. Thanks a ton for the info, and everybody else who might have looked for me

Thanks so much for trying. I think that's why not many have responded to this thread- because nobody really knows much about her. All I know is that I want her!

This is just a general question to put out there, but... This Canadian party store's website has her listed as "Temporarily Out of Stock"....

Is there any chance of her being in stock again at all? Or did they ever even have her at all?

Also, if you click add to cart, it says that they will order it from the supplier. I wonder if it's worth a shot. Worse case scenario, they refund my money, I guess. Also, I would need to find out how mush USD $189.99 Canadian equates to.

To be honest, Not sure. If Gemmy manufacturing is similar to Tekky Toys process, their figures are produced to a minimum of 500pcs. So a limited run would probably be about half that, or even less. Especially if they are just "testing the waters" with a prototype design. If this DID move out of a prototype phase, and was actaully released and sold; they sold very few...less than 100.

I saw her somewhere but can't remember who had her.I know she was suppose to be on walmart.com.
They should have picked a better name every time I tried to search for here I got alot of other stuff.
