Jada Toys Universal Monsters Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride, Creature from the Black Lagoon Overview

[@scottskene8387]

Man, if they do a Mummy and Wolfman, the whole set could be paired up with Marvel Legends' Man-Thing, Morbius, and Ghost Rider for a pretty decent approximation of Marvel's 70's monster/horror library

[@halpreme009]

I was thinking the same thing. Hasbro should really redo that boxset.

[@chrisbailleul1337]

Definitely Wolfman and Mummy! ...but a few supporting characters would be cool, like Renfield and Vanhelsing, Victor Frankenstein.

[@Mateo_Esteban]

Those head sculpts look way better than the promotional pictures

[@DeeL2003]

Imagine if Jada had the DC license instead of McF. I like the scale, proportions, accessories, articulation, sculpt, and paint. Not bad for their first foray into action figures.

[@jasetraber]

I was thinking the same thing. When does the McFarlane DC license end?

[@fightingtyler14]

I agree. I really wish someone else had the DC license. I just want a good line that can pair up with my Legends. I have a huge DCUC collection. But there are just a lot of things lacking in that line. From sculpt work, articulation, etc.

[@collegerebel]

@@jasetraber It's a three year probation period, so after 2022. Fingers crossed DC takes notice!

FYI, the fossil hand that comes with the creature was found in the very beginning of the first movie. That's what triggered the expedition to the Black lagoon.

I agree! And I'm so happy it's 6" scale and super articulated. 👍

This just furthers my want for some 6 inch, and super articulated, Scooby-Doo figures!

[@halpreme009]

Damn I would be so into that line. Jada can do it.

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

The shier number of monsters they could do for that line would be insane.

[@theextracrispycolonel9504]

So I'm not the only one who wants that

[@DevonPalmer98]

[@brainlock72]

the ML Moira is a good base for Velma and Daphne. Just need Sweater Vision and ...t-shirt/bell bottoms guy. and Lockjaw.

[@halpreme009]

I really hope they do the mummy and werewolf next from how this wave looks they have me intrigued

[@DD-pi1ks]

If they have the Universal license fingers crossed they also have the rights to The Mummy with Brendan Fraser. Love that movie and would love some highly articulated figures in this scale of those characters.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

At 1:27, I think Robo answered his own question. That Frankenstein's monster figure fills in that space from the side-aspect, and if the goal is to keep the packaging all the same, that's where the extra air comes from. When you see that figure in particular from the side, you can see the space being used.

[@elcarajo66]

Wow, you reviewed no less than 4 figures and still did a thorough job with each, including articulation and size comparison. The Gillman is the one I've been waiting for most. 6" and fully articulated. Yes! Thanks again for a great review. 👍

[@RoboRizzlerDrip]

I'm so excited for these figures, I have the whole set pre-ordered.

[@prophet924]

These look good. The internal skits are cracking me up. I may be getting these! Nice review.

[@luigiperp]

God, I need that Creature so bad. I really hope they expand beyond Universal Monsters because if I could get a Nosferatu in this style I would be thrilled.

[@badentv1390]

The only problem with neca is that they don’t make some characters like in the Godzilla line we only got mothra and rodan and everything else Godzilla. And with the new neca line for monsters, I’m scared we’re not going to get some iconic monsters

[@Starfig]

@@badentv1390 That's not really a good comparison considering they were limited by Toho with Godzilla. They have every bit of rights for Universal Monsters.

[@zephyrleapold6796]

Those textures would hold washes and dry brushing nicely

[@raulvito6246]

Yup they do look a bit too shiny but in a sense they are supposed to be more action figure like than the Neca ones

[@zephyrleapold6796]

@@raulvito6246 right I get it for the price point, and the fact that they left a texture means you wouldn't even have to use a primer, we could just do a light wash and rub it off and it would hold good in the crevices also a light dry Brush would catch all those raised edges of the textures really nicely

[@jctroller83]

So happy you were able to give us an early look at these. I was waiting to see what they looked like in hand because based on the promo images I wasn’t quite sure if I liked them enough to order. I do still think the NECAs look better aesthetically (more movie accurate, though I realize that’s not necessarily what they are going for here), but all my other horror figures are 6 inch so I couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger on those. Definitely going in on these now. Once again, Robo has me opening my wallet.

[@joaoangel5579]

I know Edward Scissorhands isn’t a Universal Monster but these and the Neca Frankenstein really make me want an Edward Scissorhands figure.

I passed these in the store not knowing anything about them. After seeing this, I should have grabbed the creature or Frankenstein. These are great!

[@HenshinHaro]

They look good. Hope the line does well. Definitely planning to pick them all up. Since it’s also Universal, I would love for them to follow up the classic monsters with a Munsters line. An in scale Munsters Coach and Dragula would be amazing.

[@hiway7]

I was on the fence until I saw this review, they look good!

[@Buff88]

Cool figures. I have them on Preorder.👍

[@antoniusblock7193]

Unexpectedly great first effort from a company, which just started to produce this scale of action figures. Well thought out and executed articulation points, seems like no quality issues, nice, clean paint, useful accesories, and real attention for details. Only minor things, like i would prefer more wear and dirt on Frank, and the open mouth Dracula head defenitely needed more work. To be fair, the Black Lagoon Creature doesn't have fangs in his mouth, that's just some inner pinkish skin making it more fishy i guess, the point is that the paint is correct like that. And i like the overview, thanks Robo!

[@adamblakeley2592]

Seeing the smiling Frankenstein's monster head made me realize I need some figures from the movie 'Young Frankenstein' in this exact size! Maybe Jada Toys can make it happen?

[@adamblakeley2592]

[@JohnnyBoy551]

Are we gonna able to buy these at like target or Walmart

[@Adeno]

I've always wanted a DRACULA toy. The one I had back in the 80s was huge, 12 inches tall and more like a statue. These 6 inch versions are what I've been waiting for, for decades! They look beautiful, they have modern articulation. I just wish they didn't use the "pins" and went for a more Figuarts or even Figma style of joints. Anyway it's not that big of a deal as long as I can pose them around, but I hope next time they'll eliminate the pins and really go for the Figuarts style of joints.

Looking forward to a old school Fwoosh Bandai model kit review (Mandalorian) hopefully soon.

Another amazing video

[@kevrobinson5534]

Hey!! Love your channel!!! Where can I get a custom painted 1:18 Chris Evans head sculpt for action figure?

[@morning_thinker6386]

25:34 A suitable word would be "composite." Fight discussions usually use it for convenience when selecting fictional characters who have different versions across different media; i.e., a character like Ash Williams from Evil Dead has so many versions that fight threads typically use "Composite Ash," a version that the posters will understand encompasses the general idea of the character.

[@TheC-Monster]

I can't be the only one wanting to see Jada or NECA to do a figure for Ahmanet (The Mummy 2017). Especially looking at how Jada did The Bride of Frankenstein here, and even though The Mummy 2017 may not be the most beloved entry in the Universal Monsters franchise, I think a highly-detailed and posable Ahmanet figure could be really dope and I would preorder that in a heartbeat. A Jekyll and Hyde based on The Mummy 2017 would also be pretty nice to get, too.

[@pwilliams0726]

Could the smaller chains be for Frank's feet?

[@maxfalkingham1016]

So glad I pre ordered these looking forward to them arriving after this review.

[@antonmasters8626]

When I heard about these I was a bit interested. The one I want the most Is the Gill Man and maybe Dracula. I'm a sucker for anything Frankenstein's monster so that's a maybe for me. What kills me the most is the alternate heads. They're hilarious. Creature looks like someone walked in on him in the shower, Dracula's fang open mouth looks really silly especially since its sorta modeled after the Lugosi Dracula his face looks like derrrr, The Bride looks like she just saw the biggest spider ever, but the best one is Frank he looks like he cut the biggest fart and he knows it. Might check these out Fwoosh
