We have a new look at Diamond Select Toys' latest series of Universal Monsters figures. This year's release includes The Invisible Man, The Phantom of the Opera, and the Metaluna Mutant from This Island Earth.
Via Figures.com: "...horror fans will be able to pick up the Metaluna Mutant from 1955's This Island Earth. With his bulging brain and claws, he conveys all the menace of the movie creature, and he even comes with the Interocitor, the device that allows humans to contact the Metalunans. Alongside the Metaluna Mutant will be the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera (1925), complete with his full-sized organ, which he plays in the catacombs of the opera house. Both will be available in oversized Select display packaging, with side panel art perfect for storing on a shelf.
Toys "R" Us (wave pictured top) will get their own exclusive figure in the Invisible Man, from the 1933 film of the same name. Jack Griffin is depicted with his goggles and false nose, and comes with a small display base."
These figures will be available this September and the Mutant/Phantom figures currently available for pre-order at various online retailers and comic book stores.
