it looks like toy manufacturer jada toys is about to start doing universal monsters
let's talk about this
hey guys miho supersorrell thank you very much junior and i'm here today with some toy news
this looks awesome jada toys the manufacturer who uh who bring you diecast vehicles remote
control vehicles and many other vehicle kind of things have branched out to articulated figures
also it seems these little digital pictures start appearing on social media the other
day and they've got their world order twitter especially those of us in the toy world because
jada toys are very well known for making remote control cars and die cast vehicles although
they do make children's products here in europe including for marsha and the bear or something
and for other small kitty sort of stuff so they have made other toys other than die cast vehicles
however this will be the first time they're doing a collect a clip a collectible line i can't speak
a collectible line for adults and they're choosing universal monsters which is absolutely amazing
in the first wave it looks like we're going to be receiving frankenstein the bride of frankenstein
dracula and the creature from the black lagoon interesting choices that does leave the line open
for a second wave including wolfman phantom of the opera and so many more so i'm hoping this is wave
one however if it ends up being just these four figures i'll die happy because we have a dracula
and you guys know i'm collecting dracula so i'm very excited to have this wave they do come with
app with multiple heads hands and accessories so let's jump straight in guys and take a look at
these figures because they look absolutely awesome and i can't wait to share them with you i'm gonna
go full screen because i think that's gonna be easier and i'll do voiceover let's do this
so guys looking first as you can see this is the lineup of figures they look really awesome
we have four in this initial first batch as i said including dracula frankenstein the creature from
the black lagoon and the bride of frankenstein all in their classic universal monsters look
they haven't used any form of actor's likenesses that i can see here it's mainly just the usual
universal monster stuff but i'm not mad about that it looks really cool and guess what the boxes and
the artwork are all in keeping with what we've seen recently from the funko releases from the
bendy releases and from legos releases they're sticking with that black and blue color scheme
which i kind of like it does add to the universal monsters look and that is kind of now their new
branding i do love that simplicity logo just seeing universal monsters in big capital letters
it does what it says on the tin sort of thing so we have dracula he look it looks like it
comes with some decent accessories and stuff along with frankenstein creature blacoon and
the bride of frankenstein so let's jump in and take a look at the box at first of all
so the box art itself the figure is inside a little box just like you would see for uh sort
of the old style black series style boxes i want to say with that big bride of frankenstein logo at
the bottom being very reminiscent there of sort of marvel legends line they've got some accessories
interchangeable hands and heads which means they are multiple point of articulation figures there's
nothing else i can see from the articulation here um although we can definitely see they just
say fought and up on the box randomly it doesn't say adult collective or that may be on the back
we haven't got any box shots from the back yet uh the only shots we have are from the front and the
side and if we take a look at the side of the box guys you'll see also that they've got the
uh universal monsters logos down the side it's not particularly just the character you're buying it's
a generic box as you can see that does have the creature of the lagoon there and frankenstein i'm
guessing on the other side we may see dracula but they are individual boxes as you've got the bride
of frank stein logo there so all in all it's a bug standard little box tray but it does the job
delving into the first figure then we're looking at the bride of frankenstein here she does come
with two different heads one with the static usual head pose with a straight for forward
uh sort of portrait and the second one is which is a screaming head she also seems to come with
some form of i'm not sure if are they meant to be electric pylons with some chains attached to them
either way she's got some chains i think which is nice you don't really see chain accessories much
you know in action figures and she has interchangeable hands to use as
both as a standard hands at open palm she looks to have some grab hands that'll probably interact
with the actual chain pieces so that's very cool and there's some form of white tassel coming off
of those uh sort of chairs pylon pieces very cool accessories and very different i'm looking forward
to that figure we have got cloth goods on these as well by the way as you can see from her dress
it does look to be cloth and not vinyl from what i can see here and of course we can look at the next
figure the next picture which does show a more product shot here and yes it does seem that this
is a cloth piece not a vinyl covering as you can see they've bent her legs and things and the cloth
is kind of molding around her very reminiscent of the um new hope princess leia outfit there
and yeah very cool indeed i'm really excited for that figure so that's the bride of frankenstein
her final portrait photo is just the one of the standard face there moving on next guys we have
the creature from the black lagoon this is his particular box looks pretty cool he comes with a
couple of accessories here and again so these are going to look nice on your shelf whether you're
an inbox collector outbox collector you're not gonna want to portray them from the side though
uh like like you could with some uh other figures like the black series because there's no number
in it on the side you want to have them front on so you can see that logo and the figure and
again even the creature of the lagoon they haven't skimped out on accessories here they've given us
some decent stuff so let's jump in he comes with two portraits one with an open mouth one with a
closed mouth both of the eyes look look the same on those uh he's got two sets of hands as well
which is nice and includes a harpoon gun and a net so he's got some great little accessories there as
well which i'm happy about and if we jump to his portrait photo here you can see that net in action
and stuff and again that's a nice net piece and they've put kind of a hand on the floor there so i
think that's going to be more of an accessory than an interchangeable hand from the looks of things
and that's pretty cool something a little bit different you can actually use the harpoon gun
as well so that's awesome the net the next figure and the one that i've got to say i'm most excited
about is dracula that classic dracula font on the box there from the old book that i have here as
well of dracula it comes with some accessories as well and even changeable hands and heads
he comes with the most accessories by the looks of things here uh so dracula is the one that i'll be
desperately trying to get hold of if i can't get hold of the whole wave um you know pre-order i'll
definitely be pre-ordering dracula comes with a soft goods cape and also with a fanged face with
a bit more of a glarish look and his standard face it comes with two sets of hands the first hand's
been open palm so that he can lure those towards him with his open palms there come to me my bride
it comes with a bat because of course dracula he needs to come with a bat accessory and the candle
which he holds in his hand which can be held if he's look he's got two alternate hands one for the
back and one to hold the candle which is pretty cool because obviously in that classic scene when
he comes down the stairs as bella lugosi i like that scene where he's got the candle come here
leave all over the door i do not drink wine very cool figure and here's his portrait
photo here looking very cool and there's nothing to moan about here and what i can see from this as
well we can kind of see the articulation here on this particular figure you could kind of see it on
the creature of the black lagoon as well creature of the black lagoon and dracula seem to have this
uh similar similar articulation um going back if i just look at the creature the black lagoon
again it looks like he's got a ball joint head a butterfly joint part possibly for the arms there
single-hinged elbows maybe double i can't see from the side there
and hands are on a ball joint you can see he's got a crunch at the abdomen and there seems to
be a further break there on the waist swivel it has a top thigh cut from what i could see
and also a double hinge knee there and potentially uh ankle articulation uh maybe display holes
for uh you know for peggy and stuff like that uh looking at this figure again yeah it does seem
that that is top thigh articulation and that would make sense because if i look at dracula here he
definitely has top thigh articulation although his center sort of crunch is going to be hindered a
lot by his coat from what i can see here but again it still looks to have the same articulation as
the other figures so you can definitely see that he's a double-hinged knee there and i'm looking
at dracula's arm here and it does look like he does have double hinge elbows so this figure is
definitely encroaching on marvel legends territory and with soft goods so i'm very excited about that
looking at our final figure though here today guys we've got frankenstein universal's monster
frankenstein he comes with some chain accessories and some interchangeable hands
um his hands i was hoping were going to be uh articulated but they're not so he
does come with two sets of hands the first set aries usual lurching forward arms out kind of
and the second set of hands are those kind of clawed more more posed hands that we can use
definitely um there's more sort of articulated piece left more articulation than to make him
look more alive the coat piece is very nice i'm liking that coat piece and again it does seem
to have same articulation that we've seen on the other figures here again i can't see any form of
of what his crunch articulation would be like at the way at the middle sorry um and on that one but
he definitely got his head tilted to the side so i'm definitely seeing some a ball joint there for
the head so lots of information there just from these photos guys and going back to that main
shot that we saw at the beginning which is all of the characters stood together i'm excited and i
hope this could be a very very favorable line for jada toys i hope this is something that they do in
that they continue and we see many other figures including wolfman fan about the opera and so many
other universal monsters because there are so many to choose from and we could even see this
going further and maybe into other toys as well with jada could we see them doing a crossover line
with any other thing else or could we even see them making some rc cars maybe dracula's coffin
and things like that could be an interesting crossover line i doubt it but you know
their choice is always there universal monsters have done weird things in the past
and these are cool because they remind me very much of the old um burger king toys that i got
as a kid so i could definitely see them making these and going forward with further lines and
more stuff i would like even playsets to come out of this i could definitely see some playsets
you know could you imagine having actual um because you've got frankenstein how cool
would it be to actually have um well it's not even frankenstein's monster people how cool would it be
to have dr frankenstein and how cool would it be to have some of the other characters abraham van
helsing lucy westerman we could have so many cool characters out of this line so i'm very excited to
see where it goes and i hope we hear more from jada toys and universal on this line but what
are your thoughts guys let me know in the comments down below but let's head on back to the main cam
and finish off this video how cool do they look guys i'm so excited you guys know i'm a massive
fan of universal monsters big fan of the original films you know boris karloff and bella lugosi big
fans of dracula frankenstein wolfman and all those cool universal monsters it's not unusual for jada
toys to be doing this by the way they are already working with universal obviously with their fast
and furious products and things like that so it isn't a stretch of the imagination that universal
have asked them to help them keep going with the monsters line as it does seem to become being a
line that they're trying to push again as bendy figs from noble toys here in europe did release
uh dracula and all those bendy figures not that long ago and then lego of course have been doing
universal monsters in their brickheadz form so it does seem that universal monsters is
slowly coming back which i would love mexico have been been making sorry amigo sorry amigo
have been making the universal monsters for a while and we are getting some neca figures from
universal monsters hopefully very very soon so are universal monsters back are you happy about that
answer the poll down below with a yes or no are you team universal monsters or not
team universal monsters i'm victim of dracula as you know say anything dracula i'll hunt it down
like the prince of darkness and grabbed that for my collection so i'll be probably reviewing this
whole line the fact that it's from jada toys means it's definitely coming to europe so i can
definitely get my hands on these and hopefully get my hands on them pretty quick so i can get
