It is hard to believe that Universal Monsters action figures are based off movies that are approaching 60 to 70 years old! Most of us will remember at one point or another watching one of those classic Universal Monsters movies like the The Wolfman, Frankenstein, Dracula and many others. At the height of their success they were the horror classics by which all others were judged (even by todays standards we should probably do the same!) So it really is not much of a leap then that we recommend today the Universal Monsters action figures for most kids and their collections. Universal Monsters action figures have been around for quite some time in one way or another but have recently seen a resurgence in their popularity. Thanks to remakes of some high profile movies (The Wolfman comes to mind) collectors and parents are snapping them up like hot cakes!
Universal Monsters Action Figures – Which Ones are Available?
The most available Universal Monsters action figure right now on the market is the brand new Wolfman which was commissioned to coincide with the release of the new movie. While not based off the new movie, this Wolfman figure bears a closer resemblance to the classic movie. In addition to the Wolfman, The Mummy Universal Monsters action figure is also available right now. The Mummy was originally made back in 1932 and was based on the opening of the real life Tutankhamen tomb opening. This figure is also based off the original movie and not the most recent reincarnation with Brendan Fraiser.
Universal Monsters Action Figures – Are They Scary?
We think that the Universal Monsters Action figures really are not that scary and make a great addition to any collection of action figures. Universal Monsters Action Figures are a nice way to introduce some “evil” characters into a play set but are not at all what we would consider scary. However, that being said, some children might not understand the connection to the movies nor will they know who the characters are. In this case we recommend that you find a way to introduce the movies gently to them so they have a better appreciation for their Universal Monsters Action Figures. Scary? We don’t think so!
Universal Monsters Action Figures are one of those toys that will never fade out of fashion or status because of their ultimate attachment to the movies. It is highly doubtful that these original classics would ever become left by the wayside so these figures are also going to be around for a long time. We like that the Universal Action Figures more closely resemble their original counterparts for a number of different reasons the least of which being how classic those characters are. Universal Monsters action figures could be a great addition for a child who already has a nice action figure collection but needs some monsters to spice up the play a little bit! The Universal Monsters action figures are available now!
