TF13: DST's Universal Monsters

Upcoming Select Series 4 and a Sneak Peek at 2014's Series 5...



Diamond Select's Universal Monsters have proven to be quite popular, the series currently on its third wave. Toy Fair gave us a look into the future by revealing this year's fall assortment, along with an exciting sneak peek at 2014's Series 5!


First off, Series 3 characters - Metaluna Mutant, Phantom of the Opera and The Invisible Man - will be boxed together as a special black and white Legacy Edition.


Universal Monsters Select Series 4, due out this September, will include a deluxe wave featuring Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Toys"R"Us Series 4 wave with simpler bases will include a Mole Person and Dr. Jekyl with an interchangeable Mr. Hyde head.


Series 5, releasing in the fall of 2014, will star more super-articulated figures. On display pending licensor approval was The Son of Frankenstein and a new and improved Creature From The Black Lagoon. There will be a third to-be-announced TRU exclusive figure. Aside from increased poseability, these figures will pack really nice deluxe bases.

Follow the link below for a closer look at all these new Universal Monster figures.

I'm glad they're adding more articulation. That was the drawback with them. That and things like my Frankenstein's arm breaking off as soon as I went to move it!

But their Bride of Frankenstein fig was my #1 fave fig of 2011. Really nice

Stores near me are either not ordering these at all or only ordering a few. So far I only managed to get the Phantom w/organ before wave 3 sold out and disappeared.

Hey Diamond, how about making Bela Lugosi from "White Zombie"? (Was that Universal? If not, start a non-Universal "Classic Monsters" line too!) Also Luna from "Mark of the Vampire".

And the old gypsy woman & Lon Chaney Jr. as Larry Talbot (looking worried as he sees the pentagram in his hand) from the Wolfman movies.

And how about an Abbot & Costello 2-pack from "Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein"?
