Later this year, Universal will release restored Blu-ray editions for some of their classic horror films and a number of companies are working on producing new Universal Monsters collectibles. Diamond Select Toys has revealed a new black & white Dracula, Frankenstein, and Bride of Frankenstein figure:
"A Diamond Select Release! Designed and Sculpted by Gabriel Marquez, Rudy Garcia and Jean St. Jean! Between 1923 and 1958, Universal Studios released over 60 different monster movies, all in black-and-white, that gave the film world some of its most iconic characters. In honor of that legacy, this deluxe collectors' box set presents three of the most famous Universal Monsters -- Dracula, Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein -- in their original-black and-white appearances! These exclusive 7-inch scale figures will only be available as part of this set, and come in a display-quality window box."
The set is currently available as a pre-order for $49.99 and is expected to ship sometime in October.
