Jakks Pacific Universal Monsters - Raymond Castile's Basement of Horror - S6, Ep9

[@paolomongon6616]

I have Dracula and Wolfman from this line. They are really great! Dracula came with a bag of pebbles/dirt for his coffin!

[@RaymondCastile]

Interesting information about the pebbles.

[@paolomongon6616]

@@RaymondCastile I never actually opened my bag of pebbles tbh, but Jakks was always creative when it came to their lines. I love the changing moon in the Wolfman set too.

[@johngaither5522]

I remember run across the black and white ones at a out of the way comic book shop a few years ago and realizing that i never knew they existed!

[@clone_enolc]

The black and white versions are awesome. I would prefer those 100%. Cheers.

[@superiorcybergodzilla5670]

Awesome Jakks Pacific Universal Monsters figures!

That poster behind you is amazing. Jack Friedman founded LJN and THQ.

[@RaymondCastile]

Thank you!

[@flashchrome]

The Frankenstein one looks very nice. Good grayscale color scheme.

[@RaymondCastile]

These are cooler than most collectors think. Worth a second look.

[@BanthaPooDoo64]

To answer a question wondering about yep there’s changeable head hands and feet I hav a set lose but I never messed w that feature and moon appears when u turn a knob on back side which changes the clouds to a full moon feature.

[@RaymondCastile]

Thank you!

I’ve recently found your channel through a good friend and I’ve been binging all the “Basement…of….Horror” episodes the last few weeks…that said, you have an amazing collection and a very broad knowledge of those toys! Very entertaining even if you say you’re not 😁…look forward to more episodes, keep up the great work Raymond!

[@RaymondCastile]

Thank you! I'm glad you are watching!

[@cuzzie]

Nice episode! Thank you! Those Dracula figures seem really nice. 🧟‍♂️

[@RaymondCastile]

Thank you!

[@louisborselio8608]

I've had these boxed figures for years. I love the fact this series is the Big 3 most famous Universal monsters. They should always go together. I gotta make my own video of them.

[@RaymondCastile]

It's nice that they are the big three, but I wish Mummy and Creature were included.

[@louisborselio8608]

@@RaymondCastile Or part of a second series with other characters.

[@Jared_Wignall]

These look really cool Raymond. Thanks for talking about these and keep up the great work. Have a great weekend!

[@RaymondCastile]

Thank you!

The green jacket always gets you ranting ray😂

[@RaymondCastile]

Yes! The sheer dumbness drives me insane!

[@danriley5848]

Great video as always Raymond, these figures are pretty cool and I would have picked them up myself if I was aware of them. I am a fan of the current Neca Universal Monsters Ultimate line which I have been collecting. Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and your family. ✌🏻🎄

[@RaymondCastile]

Thank you!

Dracula's cape liner was black when he wore the medallion, gray when he didn't wear the medallion

[@RaymondCastile]

Thank you!

[@louisborselio8608]

@@RaymondCastile Glad to help.

[@BanthaPooDoo64]

Ed Wood made a film called “Orgy of the Dead” and the person wearing a cape is suppose to be one Bela’s capes

[@landonwhyte2973]

Supposedly, the cape Dracula wears in the 1971 film "Dracula vs. Frankenstein" was Bela Lugosi's cape from "Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein"

[@RaymondCastile]

I've seen that! I have it on blu-ray, actually.

[@landonwhyte2973]

@RaymondCastile I've only ever seen the movie here on KZbin in poor video quality, but yeah. Uncle Forry made sure they used cool props for such an abysmal movie lol.

[@patclau006]

Love your vids and your collection Ray, do you have those Universal monsters cartoon like big head toys from the mid late 90s? They were small caricature statuettes , really fun series of the classic monsters , would love to see a video of those!

[@RaymondCastile]

Thank you! Yes, I have all of those.

[@voodoopowder]

I posted the play feature for you in the Facebook group. Sorry I don’t own the Dracula figure, so no video for that one from me.

[@RaymondCastile]

Thank you for that video!

[@jamespero6803]

The van helping move wasn't great but it had its moments. I especially liked there take on frankenstien

[@RaymondCastile]

I remember thinking Frankenstein had some memorable scenes...but then forgot them.

[@jamespero6803]

Wow I just noticed my auto correct did a number on my spelling...I think I meant van helsing movie....jeez

[@louisborselio8608]

JAKKS Pacific made great WWF/WWE figures back in the early 2000's

[@RaymondCastile]

I don't know anything about non-monster Jakks toys.

[@louisborselio8608]

@@RaymondCastile They should have followed the same body designs for the monsters, They had more realistic looking bodies.

[@paolomongon6616]

@@RaymondCastile Their Van Helsing line was pretty cool. So was their line for Toonsylvania.

[@dannydontgoin237]

Dracula looks more like Jack Palance than Bela Lugosi.

[@RaymondCastile]

I can see that.

[@matthewpayne6122]

I think I like the dioramas better than the figures .

[@RaymondCastile]

Yes, that is why I was never interested in the individually carded ones.
