1:18 Universal Monster toys: buy the Burger King ones!

SmokeBellew · 01-24-2023, 12:14 PM

I picked up a set of the Burger King Kid's Club Universal Monsters from the late 90s a couple of years ago because I found a Creature and a Wolfman back in the day and always meant to look into them closer. Anyway, I just came across them in my shit and they're really awesome. If you're looking, don't waste your money and time on the Funko and Super7 reaction lines for Dracula, Wolfman and maybe even the Creature and Frankenstein...these BK figures are superior and cost a lot less. Especially the Dracula and Wolfman, they come with terrific accessories. Frankenstein has translucent head and hands but comes with an awesome operating table, and the Creature is translucent, but squirts water! They're really cool toys.

it is definitely a good set. im pretty sure i have frankenstein and a wolfman floating around. the wolfman was used a few times for his hands and feet to make vipers that turned into werewolves.

i think i have a different 4" series of the universal monsters that's even more vintage; but the bk sculpts are way better.

I've still got Frankenstein. No idea how I've managed to keep it this long.

Yeah, I literally found both the Wolfman and the Creature on the roof of my car in a parking lot in 1997 or thereabouts. Some mom loading kiddos into the ol' minivan must've took them out of the kids' hands and sat them there while she buckled 'em into car-seats or something, and then forgot and drove off. Anyway, it was long after I was done with toys, and I meant to give them away, but somehow managed to hang onto them this whole time.
