I don't think that I can say that I will ever tire of werewolves completely. My interest waxes and wanes depending on what's going on at the moment in the industries as far as movies, statues and toys are concerned. For the time being however, I feel that the genre as a whole is in a slump. The last major werewolf movie (Cursed) really sucked! I'm just hoping that the upcoming Underworld Evolution is going to be as good as it looks in the trailers *keeping fingers crossed*. Statuewise, I already have all of the major cool looking ones (come out with a new one already!!!). As for the toy companies (bear with me here, because I'm about to go on a rant), What the f**ck is wrong with these A$$HOLES?!!!!

They more than anyone else have totally disrespected the werewolf. Either by cancelling the figures, or by producing subpar products. Hey IDIOTS! Try doing a little research first before you put out that junk. The downslide actually started a few years back with the cancellation of the Werewolf:The apocalypse figures
![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/cry.gif)
. I really had my heart set on these. They would have been so awesome if they had been made. Yet for no good reason, Diamond Select cancelled them. WHY?? Next: Stan Winston's Bloodwolves. They cancelled Syrann in place of Veriticus (what was that about?)

McFarlanes toys - His Monsters playset (1st series) werewolf and Mangler figure were cool, but his last werewolf figure and the Twisted Fairy Tales Red Riding Hood....(need I say more?). Sideshow collectibles: They pissed me off because of their ommission of the Van Helsing wolfmen from their product line. No maquettes, bust, figures or nothing. Yet, they have produced all of these items for the film's other characters. I've emailed them several times inquiring why this was, but have never gotten a response. F-U Sideshow! And now... I have saved the worst for last - Jakks Pacific! These retards totally butchered the Velkan wolfman figure. WTF were they thinking when they produced this God-Awful, f-ing waste of plastic, piece of crap that nobody wanted??

Where in the hell was the quality control? Can anyone here honestly say that they or anyone else they know actually liked this thing? What I don't understand is why was this thing so piss poor looking? Jakks Pacific possesses real scan technology, which they use for capturing the exact likeness of the WWE superstars. Why couldn't they have used it for the wolfman? IMO, Jakks Pacific should NEVER! and I mean EVER! be able to lay their hands on any werewolf related toy licenses again.
Sorry for the tirade, but it's good to vent once in awhile.
Now back to the original topic - No, I'm not werewolfed out.... at least not yet.
