Universal Studios Monsters- Diamond Select

[Anton Phibes]

Were they unable to acquire the rights?

Evidently not. But if they did and this is supposed to be Bela, then

Chaney's company licensed the new figs, and I assume everyone saw the Wolf Man...

 

[Anton Phibes]

All right--they showed the rest today. Color versions of the three 8 inch monsters. Deluxe edition Frankie comes with a lab table and different color scheme. Dracula comes with two heads. Also included are the next two in the retro/mego line with a Lugosi head sculpt Dracula and a Karloff Mummy (replacing the Lon Chaney Jr. prototype shown last year. I really wanted that Chaney Jr. Mummy). I am tired of only getting a Karloff Mummy(start screaming, Nick).Take a gander. Photos courtesy of the UMA and actionfigure.com, toynewsi.com

I guess Drac, Frank and Bride comprise a box set....as sse/black and whites, plus another drac shot with base.

RICHARD! KARLOFF IS THE MUMMY!

RICHARD! KARLOFF IS THE MUMMY!

Yeah---for five minutes...vs. Chaney in 3 films as the shambling Kharis. Karloff is the Im Ho tep Mummy. But not the only Universal Mummy. Some of us like Chaney's Mummy too.

 

[D'oh!]

These new figs aren't as slick as Sideshow's 8" ones back in the day, but still look pretty good. I might pick them up once I see them in person.

Youre right. They arent. I dont know if I am gonna continue them or not. I like the retro/mego things a lot...but these are not really doing it for me. I bought last year's...but may put them on ebay and just quit. I got too much of this junk any way.

Do not get me wrong I LOVE THE CHANEY'S!!!!!!!!!! But my favorite film role from the Chaney's is Chaney Jr's Wolf Man! It always has been Ron did a GREAT job with this role as well!

art asylum has already begun sculpting series 3. For 2012 release. Invisible Man. Also, here is another shot of the DST comic shop/deluxe versions of Frankie and Drac and the retros.

That Mego fig looks more like Bela than the actual one.

That topic is soooooooooooooo yesterday.

 

[Kabukiman]

I might be in for this line. I need my Uni-Monsters, and these offerings seem new and different enough from what's in my collection currently to be interesting.

I'm really glad to see *somebody* hitting the Uni-Monsters hard. Munsters could be cool too!

The Dracula actually looks a bit like the version from the Monster Squad to me. UM Minimates were also shown at Toyfair:

And is this a 1/4 scale Frankenstein's monster (edit: I see there's an existing thread for it)?

Minimates aint getting it for me......

 

[saintsyn]

Looking back at the Munsters figures in the Blog link, it seems REALLY annoying that they get super articulation while the Classics get the shaft....

Yet another thing that I had asked Sideshow Collectibles to do. Black and White PF Figures of The Munsters.
