AFFILIATE LINK: Living Dead Dolls Creature from the Black Lagoon Doll
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, this Living Dead Dolls Creature from the Black Lagoon Doll surfaces! Living Dead Dolls brings to life The Creature from Universal's sci-fi horror gem, The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Featuring an all-new body and face sculpt, this scaled terror from the deep stands a full 10-inches tall. It captures the intricate detail of the prehistoric gill-man, from his mysterious yellow eyes to his claw-tipped webbed hands. With 9 points of articulation, he's the most articulated Living Dead Doll ever, so he'll be able to take out any scientist who dares to come between him and his true love! The Creature comes packaged in a full-color collector-friendly window box.
They journeyed deep into the unexplored depths of the Amazon jungle, searching for fossils. Instead, they discovered The Creature!

AFFILIATE LINK: ReAction Universal Monsters
In the 70s and 80s, virtually every toy manufacturer had their own line of monster toys. After all, monsters were a big deal back then and every kid had at least one horror icon in his or her collection.
Although most companies favored the 8'' ''Mego-like'' doll figures, one toy company, Remco, gave creepy kids a double-dose of dread by launching both a ''doll' and action figure range based upon the classic Universal Monsters characters - a line that, to this day, is still both highly collectible and fondly remembered in the collecting community. And it looks as if somebody at Funko is a fan of these awesome figures, if the latest line of ReAction figures is anything to go by.
Featuring 5 points of articulation, vintage-style card art and a coffin-shaped blister, the ReAction Universal Monsters line-up covers all the classic characters from the studio that defined horror, as seen in the original Remco line-up (along with a few extras!) Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your tastes) we don't have a bundle or case deal to offer but you can order each figure individually from Entertainment Earth right now!

AFFILIATE LINK: Universal Monsters Select Creature from the Black Lagoon
The Creature from the Black Lagoon is back!
Set to surface later this year, the 7'' tall figure sports the same super-detailed sculpting, fantastic paintwork and flexible articulation we've come to expect from Diamond Select's Universal Monsters figure line. Sculpted by master toy designer Jean St. Jean, the figure is a new version of the classic monster and comes complete with an sub-aquatic-themed base - including skeletal remains!

AFFILIATE LINK: Universal Monsters Select Count Dracula
I was fortunate enough this Christmas to receive a Toys R Us gift card from a relative and my first thought was ''I'll pick up that Diamond Select Toys Count Dracula I've always promised myself.''You can imagine my dismay then, when I hit my local TRU and found the shelves stripped bare of pretty much everything. So don't be like me and pass-up the opportunity to snag yourself this incredible figure. And to be even more... me... unlike be sure to grab this, the Specialty Store-exclusive edition of The Count, which comes complete with base and wolf accessory, available now from Entertainment Earth.

AFFILIATE LINK: Universal Monsters Series 3 Retro Cloth Action Figure Set
If there's one thing better than a retro-themed toy, it's a retro-style, retro-themed toy. And if there's something even better than a retro-style, retro-themed toy, it's two retro-style, retro-themed toys!
Series 3 of the Universal Monsters Mego-style figures/dolls from Diamond Select Toys features the terrible twosome of the Bride and the Gill-man, recreated at 8'' tall, with 14 points of articulation and cloth clothing. The new additions to the highly popular line-up will be landing at retail next month but to avoid disappointment you can go right ahead and pre-order the pair now ahead of their November release.
