Super 7 "Official Universal Monsters Thread"

Check out the Super 7 SDCC Creature Super Cycle

The box art is a bit deceiving.

Of course, the Aurora monster rods are still very popular.

Yeah, but I always hated those too. I know, I know....I've heard it before. I guess I just like my monsters closer to the films. It's a miracle I have the NECA Bobble Heads. The sculpts are just too good though. I guess you're gonna buy one?

If it ain't some Con exclusive that I can only get on eBay for $200.

It's probably gonna be pretty pricey. Just look on eBay at the other vinyl monsters on trikes like hedorah or matango etc. They seem to range from $150ish to $250ish depending on variation.

Those are M1 toys from Japan, though. I hope S7 will be a little cheaper. Although their faux Japanese Creature with visible guts was $125.

The rainbow accents make me chuckle.

If the figure itself were closer to the box art -- which I love-- maybe.

The rainbow accents make me chuckle.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Is the rainbow striping a normal thing for items of this type?  From an aesthetics standpoint, I am not a fan of all the colors. The box art (minus Creech's Amazing Technicolor Dreambike) is incredible.

Edit: After some internet image searching I see the striping is par for the course on such trikes.

The whole thing makes me conjure images of him showing up as a guest star on Muppet Babies.

We hateses it, Precious.

Another company...Skull Brain perhaps...is doing Frankenstein.   They look cool but I'm affraid they'll have a hipster tax and wil be expensive just because. Like all art vinyl and modern tributes to japanese toys.

[Mike Scott]

I know one thing (no jokes), you'd have to display it with the box. Or maybe just the box by itself!

I would watch a Universal Monsters Babies cartoon in a heartbeat.
