This is the latest in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of blog posts memorializing cancelled toys. Our figures today relate to yo's Resurrection of Monstress Night of Noctilca review.
Prototypes for Series 3 of the figures were shown at Toy Fair 1999 (the same show that brought us McFarlane's Pinhead, among others), and even given names.
