it's alive
hey guys miho supersorrell thank you very much
it's the new jada toys universal monsters frankenstein and as it says on the schedule
it is the frankenstein figure from jada toys very excited to have this in hand i got this
off amazon.com uk although i do have another set on pre-order i just got a bit impatient
and i'm really happy that i did get it because i'm so happy to review this it's the first review of
the halloween season on the channel so each and every single day throughout october there's going
to be a different figure review on the channel and i'm really excited because we're starting
off with my unit with universal monsters which is my absolute favorite don't worry though for those
of you that aren't really into halloween and horror there is still going to be other things
on the channel from time to time not a lot but um there is still going to be the occasional videos
because i still have regular pre-orders coming in as well and i still want to get those reviews out
through october so regular reviews will be online occasionally uh but the majority of the month is
going to be dedicated straight to horror so let's get this bad boy out of the packaging
i don't need to be kind with this i am literally never putting him back in this box
get him out
look at him he's so cool also the other the other thing on the front of them that's
really cool okay so to keep everything nice on the phone they've actually got like a little
like a little cover that's obviously to stop people stealing their
hands and heads and like they do with marvel legends and swapping the figures and things like
so that's a good that's a good thing
so yeah jada toys normally do model and die cast cars and things so this
is like new territory for them it's very exciting to see what they do with it
it's alive it's alive
i'm a big fan of the old school horror movies especially universal horrors
uh the universal monsters and of course the old old british hammer horrors big fan of those two
but for me you'll never beat the originals
i mean i love the original films uh bella lugosi is dracula boris karloff frankenstein
oh where did you bring that camera's over
i thought i brought them break does this clip on and off thank god
and there's another one here let's not do that again though
taking someone boxing it
all right here is frankie
you know the drill
you guys know know the drill we no longer need the box
so what do we do when we now leave the box it's heat
all right guys here he is out of the packaging it's the new frankenstein
and he looks absolutely awesome so it does come with standard um just regular open hands um you
can put him in the traditional hands out lurching kind of pose if you want that's kind of what most
people probably gonna do with the pose and they're gonna do that even though i don't remember boris
golf doing that in the film whatsoever the only issue with these figures for me that i found
straight away was the face sculpts obviously they don't resemble the actors that they're um
that played them however that is probably due to licensing rights but we can still tell who this is
meant to be definitely and i can't wait to review the neca figure so that we can bring him back
and we'll do a comparison video and see which you know which figure is better so heads on a ball
joint so you can make him look up and down left and right the arm do lift out of this side hinge
here be very careful that elbow that um bicep hinge is very loose there but the bicep hinge
does move as well we've got double hinged elbows which is nice and the hands are on ball joints
just making sure they're all hinged doesn't stuff moving uh do we have an abdomen crunch
no i can't i can't feel an abdomen crunch although the legs do lift out
as well as forwards backwards there is a top thigh cut there there are double hinge knees on him as
well which is nice it's a lot lots of articulation there and the feet are on rocker and pivot and
they do have display holes should we wish to use a display base now the good thing about this figure
as well is it's just like a marvel legend the head pops off and there's a small ball joint on there
a little bit smaller than the marvel legends ones and you can place
a different head on there so this is the secondary portrait that they've given us
which is the more smiling face there
not too fond of this smiley face i'm personally going to go back and put the other one on
now they does have the bolts in the neck as well they're a little bit
shorter i know people have trouble with the ones on the necker figures
because the ones on the necker ones look like they could break off very easily the
ones on this figure are actually a lot shorter so they're not in any way in any in any danger
which is a lot nicer as well he does come with very big platform shoes as well which i think
was how they gave height um to a little bit more height to boris carlos in the film um
he does come with chains as well and they are usable they do open and
shut and stuff so these are fully workable chains which is nice and we can actually use
them on him so i can actually put his art his arms in there and actually shut those around
open this one
like so so you can actually have him chained as well which is nice so the chains are actually
usable um so that's cool to have as well again that's a great accessory piece just in general
as a cut as a toy collector um because i do action figure photography
so i mean that is just a a great piece to have is the chains and things because it
can be used with other characters because the chains go quite small
so that's pretty cool um these hands for me i'm not a big fan of these hands that's come on him
so i'm gonna pull them off and just pop them as you can see they've just got the same little
ball pegs like a marvel legend would and we can replace them with these more like
grabby hands but they're not they're not really there to grab anything but they're a bit more
i don't know a bit about how i would imagine his hands like a bit more like monstery should we say
a little bit more action orientated actually i might actually replace that one
because i'm going to use his right hand for posing so left hand can be static so i can put
that other hand back that's more that that now feels more realistic so i've gone for like the
more articulate grabby hand here and we'll use the other hand as like the static hand see i like that
right guys so what we're gonna do now is we're gonna head on down to the desk cam so
you guys can take an up close personal look at this frankenstein we'll also compare him
to the original marvel legends frankenstein as well and see how the marvel legends figures
hold up in comparison to this new jada one as it's a very near articulation it's very
it's very much in the same wheelhouse as a marvel legend this figure in my opinion
so let's go see how he compares to one and we'll see if there's actually any
swappable parts with marvel legends that we could use so let's head on down to the desk
so guys here we are this is your first look at our monster graveyard for october the diorama of
terror this is where we will be taking all our desk ham footage on this weird and wonderful
graveyard scene there's clearly been some wit there's a witching fun going on in here as
there's plenty of pumpkins so salmon sam's clearly been through here decorating for the holidays
and they've even put a witch's hat on top of one of the uh tombs there very interesting so let's
bring our frankenstein into the mix here and let's take a closer look at this awesome figure
so let me just extend this camera first of all and aim downwards and we'll zoom in a little bit
so here is our frankie out of the packaging looking absolutely awesome i am loving this figure
and the way it has been created is awesome i'm not i've never really dealt with jaden toys too much
outside of their die casting in fact i think this is their first ever dip into the action figure
market and i've gotta say i'm happy if this is wave one then wave two is gonna be awesome
hoping that they go ahead and sell enough of these to make a wave two because i would
love to see them you know tackle the mummy uh the phantom of the opera and so many other characters
if it works well i even hope that they go ahead and grab some other horror licenses i mean who
wouldn't want some hammer horror figures as well i mean come on there's some great great horror
figures that necker and things haven't created and if they can create the marvel legend style just
like this with accessories alternate head sculpts and for the reasonable price of 22.99 just like
a marvel legend it's definitely up there some marvel legends don't even come with the amount
of accessories and head sculpts and hands that this figure has come with gotta admit like the
modular iron man thing it only came with a couple of accessories this guy's come with alternate head
sculpts alternate hands accessories it's come with everything man i'm really excited for it
so once again let's take a look at this face gulped a little bit closer on the camera
so that is the initial face sculpt i do prefer this one it's the more sort of traditional
frankenstein look but like i said it's so easy you can just pop the head straight off
and then pop on the second alternate head and you've got something completely different
and this time around they've given us that bit more of a smiley head which really doesn't do
it for me that is it's a very weird take on frankenstein is that um i don't think i'll
be using that one and like i said my only gripe with these is the fact that they don't have any
form of likeness to any of the actors i wish we could have gone ahead and got some likenesses
to make like the proper bella lugosi's dracula and things like that but for the figure for the
price point and stuff this is the best figure i've seen in a while i really need to review
the neca one but the neca one is higher in value so i mean it's not a this this line is more of
the introductory line for me a bit like a marvel legend line would be necker's the next step up
so those alternate hands as well they have got quite a large peg on them but they could be
usable for customizers these hands could be good for um making any customs from the marvel legends
for like zombies and things that could be a good reason to buy these
and once again he comes with two sets of chains as well both the same length
in fact no one's shorter than the other actually a little bit
um so one's for his hands one's for feet i think but yeah cool that he's got a lot of chains as
well again they're usable with other figures as well which is nice you'll be able to use those
let's do a little bit of side by side comparison between jada and marvel legends then so this is
the old toy biz frankenstein from back in the day and our new frankenstein is quite a little bit
taller than him uh the old the old frankenstein from marvel always reminded me a bit of an
incredible hulk kind of character but it is still cool to see and see them side by side here it's a
little bit of nostalgic history my channel i did a hall of halloween special reviewing the monsters
set a long time ago so it's nice to get that back on the channel and yes for years i have used
this figure as my go-to um sort of frankenstein figure which i think i'll now be retiring the
marvel legend one in favor of this new jada toys one but guys what are your thoughts on
this new jada toys figure do you like it are you excited for more figures like this in the line
