They only said they were restoring them. They have not yet confirmed that this will translate into U.S. Blu-ray release.I'd be tempted if it hadn't been reported in the middle of last year that Universal was working on all the Frankenstein sequels, so I'm happy to wait for the new restorations.
But Son of Frankenstein is the next obvious release of a Universal Monster film. I put it in the inevitable category.

Hi Dana!actually it's a great stepping off point think Mel Brook's homage is based more on that one title than the others
I've had a soft spot for SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939) since I first viewed it around the early '00s. While I have no plans to order the Region B Blu-ray, I'll likely grab it if/when Universal releases the Blu-ray over here!
Basil Rathbone's sympathetic performance as the son of Baron Von Frankenstein is what makes this Film really work for me, though it's also great that Boris Karloff does one last turn as "The Monster" of course! Basil was of course, just emerging from his then usual bad guy persona, and that transition would continue (Though bad guy roles would continue off and on) with his first appearance as the great Detective Sherlock Holmes soon afterward!
CHEERS!
