Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the Black & white version of the same Frankenstein Figure by Jakks Toys no doubt put out due to the success of Sideshow Toys Black & white Silver Screen series of classic monster figures. Unfortunately Jakks simply doesn't measure up in quality.
Jakks pacific (somehow) got the rights to put out three figures based on Universals Classic horror figures: Dracula, the Wolfman, and Frankenstein. Jakks has always been weak when if comes to figure detail athough they have improved somewhat since the days of their earliest wrestling figures. In general, the Universal monsters they did are fairly weak, lacking detail and only bearing slight resemblance to the actors who portrayed them.
Of the three, the Frankenstein figure, taken from A scene in Bride of Frankenstein, is probably the best. Bound in chains after being captured by a mob of angry villagers, the monster would soon break his chains and escape. I think the figure looks a little too "good" to be the figure from Bride who was burned and charred from surviving the fire in the windmill at the end of Frankenstein. Sitting and bound by the chains the figure looks pretty good and the base, chair, and chain detail are all pretty good. But Boris suffers really amateurish articulation at the knees and elbows and looks like one of those 4" GI Joe figures.
It's not a bad figure. Decent enough for display but nowhere near the quality of the Sideshow Universal Monster figures.
