October 2004 - Two new, vinyl action figures depicting Jerry Only and Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein - original members of legendary punk band The Misfits - will be making their way to retailers' shelves soon, and are available for wholesale in North America exclusively through Diamond Comic Distributors!

In early 1977, at the dawn of the punk rock movement, The Misfits were born. Taking the title of Marilyn Monroe's last movie as their name, singer Glenn Danzig, bassist Only, and guitarist Von Frankenstein set out to make an impression. They wound up making history and creating a legacy that has stood the test of time, and transcended to an entirely new generation. Throughout the span of their career, The Misfits' audience has developed into an army of "fiends" (the term for die hard Misfits fans) generating more interest today than ever before.

The Jerry Only with Jacket and Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein limited edition vinyl figures from Medicom of Japan depict the Misfits members as Zombies! Standing approximately 8" tall, these soft figures feature articulation at the shoulders, wrists, ankles, and neck. They come in closed box packaging.

Fans can find these and other great action figures at their local comics shop, or by contacting the Comic Shop Locator Service toll free at 1-888-COMICBOOK (1-888-266- 4226) or online at http://www.comicshoplocator.com.
