Did these come out of nowhere or was I just unaware?
It looks like the likenesses are far enough removed from the actors' but it's clear who they are supposed to be. I love that neck articulation on Frankenstein's Monster. |

These look pretty cool. Especially that Creature from the Black Lagoon. NECA outclasses them of course, and for not much more money. I think these would do better if they were cheaper, but they look fun nevertheless.

It's cool to see a set of Universal monsters that are undeniably "toys" but those are "collectible" prices, imo. The license must be pretty pricey

LOVE THESE! The perfect mix of the TOY look and LIKENESS.
NECA looks a lot like the more realistic movie versions. JADA looks like the toy versions. I'm liking the toy look A LOT more. The two perfect head expressions with both. Perfect little accessories. AND, what looks like a lot of articulation. PRE-ORDERED ALL!!!!! |

Interesting. These really came from nowhere. As said above, they look like a toy and that’s fun and I’m sure hits the mark for some.
I’m glad they went this route, you can not compete with NECA. Almost everything NECA touches, “looks like it jumped off the screen”. Now if I can just digest those SUPER7 reaction figures for $18. |

Not terrible but not great timing with NECA's here.
Yeah, I was going to say these are just a couple bucks less. I like the inclusion of extra heads and stuff, but unless you really like the toy look or just want 6" and not 7", then that's great but otherwise I think the extra couple dollars for NECA's will be worth it. |

I actually would love the mini metal figures treatment JADA does for the monsters.

Really cool, but when it's a few bucks more to get the "better" versions it's kinda pointless.
It's like if Bandai was charging $20 for Dragon Stars figures but only $30 for Figuarts DBZ figures. There's no real point in paying a few bucks less for inferior product. |
