For decades, the world has enjoyed the suburban antics of the Munsters and now Diamond Select Toys is preparing to bring you 7-inch scale action figures. Launching this October - Herman, Lily and Grandpa will be available in two different versions: one version at Toys"R"Us with their signature accessories (listed below), and a "Select" version at specialty stores that comes with a bonus accessory -- a piece of the family electric chair (pictured top)! Collect all three Select versions to build it.

Herman Munster

Clocking in at 350 pounds and 7 feet 3 inches tall, Herman Munster was built in 1850 by Dr. Victor Frankenstein, but is nothing like Frankenstein's monster of legend. A good-natured, soft-spoken funeral home employee, Herman is a World War II veteran, a good husband to his vampire wife Lilly and a loving father to his werewolf son Eddie. This 7-inch scale figure perfectly captures the likeness of actor Fred Gwynne, and also comes with Herman's massive lunchbox.

Lily Munster

Born Lily Dracula of Transylvania, the matriarch of the Munster family is the daughter of a vampire, but werewolf blood also runs in her family, as both her brother and her son bear the curse. Loving dust and decay, she keeps the Munster household nice and messy, and is also an adoptive mother and confidante to her niece Marilyn. This 7-inch scale figure is a perfect likeness of Yvonne DeCarlo and comes with the Munsters' raven-inhabited cuckoo/grandfather clock.

Grandpa Munster

Sam Dracula, the famous Count Dracula of legend, was married 166 times, and even though his wives are all dead, he still keeps in touch. Over 600 years old, he personally knew King Arthur and Jack the Ripper, and can still turn into a wolf or a bat, if he takes his pills. Played by Al Lewis, Sam is also a persistent inventor, having modified his own coffin into a race car, and this 7-inch scale figure comes with his laboratory table, as well as his pet bat Igor.

I have been wanting these to be made for soooo many years. I kinda wish some of the face sculpts were a wee bit better but I'll still be getting them all.

Next I hope after they finish off all the Munsters they do the 60s TV Addams Family too!
