Bela Lugosi as the Count from Universal's 1931 "Dracula" Now, for those of you who are thrown by the sight of Lugosi's Dracula in full color, be aware that Jakks Pacific is putting out a Series 2 collection of the Dracula, Frankenstein and Wolf Man figures where the characters are preserved in their original glorious black and white (although the inside of Dracula's cape is still blood red). Jakks Pacific is also the same company handling the "Van Helsing" figures, so they are covering both the old and the new. I think there is also an attempt here to provide for the new generation what us old timers remember with the Aurora models of the Universal Monsters. Dracula comes with his box of earth, which is the functional equivalent of a vampire packing his suitcase. There is also a bit of stone arch way from which you can hang his friendly bat. You also get a rat and a candlestick in terms of accessories. The figure is articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, and ankles so there are lots of possibilities, although keeping the figure upright is a concern, so watch it. How is this an educational monster figure? Because it should inspire a new generation of viewers to go check out the original film and perhaps even Bram Stoker's classic novel. Even at the start of the 21st-century everyone should know their movie monster heritage along with its literary antecedents. The Dracula figure is actually the least impressive of the trio, with the figure of the Frankenstein monster clearly the best of the bunch. ... Read more |

You get not only the Wolf Man but also cursed Larry Talbot This figure is produced by Jakks Pacific Inc., which is the same company handling the "Van Helsing" figures, so they are covering both the old and the new. I think there is also an attempt here to provide for the new generation what us old timers remember with the Aurora models of the Universal Monsters. It looks like Larry Talbot is engaging in a bit of grave robbing on the night of a full moon, which explains the shovel and lantern. The 6" figure is wearing the muted green shirt and brown pants Universal always used for the character and you get to switch the head, hands and feet to turn the Wolf Man back into Larry Talbot, whose face does resemble that of Chaney. You just pop the pieces in and out and then pose him as you desire. The figure is articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, and ankles so there are lots of possibilities, although keeping the figure upright is a concern. How is this figure educational? Because it should inspire a new generation of viewers to go check out the original film and even if there is not a novel behind the Wolf Man as there is with Dracula and Frankenstein, there is still something to be said for knowing our heritage even when the subject is movie monsters. The Frankenstein figure is the best of the bunch, but Wolf Man edges out Dracula to place in this particular monster race. Final Note: This is the Series 1 color figure of the Wolf Man. The Series 2 figures, out in June, will be in black & white for those who prefer their classic Universal monster figures uncolorized. ... Read more |

Actually the chained creature from The Bride of Frankenstein This scene actually comes from "Bride of Frankenstein," usually considered to be the best of the Universal Frankenstein movies. After the monster is captured he is put in chains in the dungeon of the local jail. The stone seat with the wooden back is one of the most famous sets in monster movie history. You can also show the creature breaking free from his chains. The figure is articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, and ankles so there are lots of possibilities, although keeping the figure upright can be a concern. I consider this to be an education monster figure because it should at least inspire some members of a new generation of viewers to go check out at least the original film and its famous sequel as well as maybe even Mary Shelley's classic novel. Even at the start of the 21st-century everyone should know their movie monster heritage along with its literary antecedents and this Classic Monster Figure can certainly help the young folk along in that regard. For those of you who prefer your Universal Monsters in their original black & white, Jakks has come out with a Series 2 collection that does exactly that with these three figures. ... Read more |
