What are these things? Series 3? What was in 1 and 2? Are they posseable?

This was, I believe, the breakdown: Series 1 • Creature from the Black Lagoon • The Mummy Series 2 • Dracula • Frankenstein's Monster • Bride of Frankenstein Series 3 • Invisible Man • Metaluna Mutant • Phantom of the Opera Series 4 • Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde • Quasimodo |
Hmmmmmmmmm, are there any reviews up for these things anywhere? Where can I buy them at? I want the Creature and Monster for sure.

BBTS has all of them listed. Universal Studios Monsters Toys, Action Figures, and Collectibles The Creature is in stock right now, but looks like they're sold out of the Monster. But Amazon has a few of the Monster still in stock. Amazon.com: Diamond Select Toys Universal Monsters Select: Frankenstein Action Figure: Toys & Games |
Wolfman was also part of series 1. Series 4 also has a TRU exclusive Mole Person.
I have all of them. Personally, I really dig them. They are from Diamond Select, so they have good sculpts but are lacking in the articulation department. You can pose them, but you're not going to be getting super dynamic poses or anything. They definitely don't have the same level of articulation that Diamond has been putting into their Marvel Select line lately. The single releases are colorized versions of each character, and there are box sets for each series that contain all figures but in a black and white color scheme. Also of note, these figures have two different releases, a normal and a deluxe. The retail release (TRU) are "normal": the figure and a few accessories. Specialty/Comic stores had the "deluxe": figure, accessories and a deluxe base or large scenery. For example: Frankenstein comes with the lab table he was brought to life on, Phantom of the Opera comes with a large pipe organ. The pieces are pretty significant in size and detail. @Kain: I definitely recommend them if you're into the classic Universal Monsters. But if you're interested in the creature from the black lagoon I suggest one of two things. 1) wait until next October. Diamond is releasing a highly articulated (by Diamond's standards) version with a new sculpt. 2) If you can't wait, go for the older Sideshow 7" figure. The sculpt is superior to the current Diamond Select creature. |

^ The only difference is that the "Legacy" figures are a box set in black and white color scheme. As opposed to the "Select" figures, which are the color versions individually packed. Hope that helps to clarify.

Thanks for the info guys. Those are awesome, but you know what, I better not get into them. I have enough to buy just with Figuarts, and starting another new line might not be such a great idea.
Of course, if they were to do a Universal Classic Monsterarts line, I probably would not be able to pass on it. However, what does the Wolfman figure look like? I don't see it on BBTS or Amazon. |

I meant the colored version.
Although, I must admit, the B&W ones are kind of cool in a stylish way. It would be nice though if they would actually do a regular Imhotep though instead of the one from the first 10 minutes of the movie. |
That's the one from the legacy series.
The colored one is a single packed figure. |
