Today I'm being a bit silly again as we're taking a look at Count Dracula as.... a Frosty? Yup. Starting during the first week of September, if you got a kids' meal at Wendy's you could get a little minifigure of the Wendy's Frosty dressed up like a classic monster. Have you always wanted a Frosty dressed up like Dracula? Then Frosty Bite is for you! These should definitely appeal to fans of Halloween goodies like the classic McNugget Buddies. There are six different sculpts, five of which have two different color schemes, so you've got 11 different figures overall. Let's take a look at this chilly child of the night after the break...
Height: 3 1/8ths inches
Articulation: None
Accessories: Sticker sheet
Non-Scalper Price: Comes with a kids meal.
The Positives:
* This guy is really quite funny! The red and black our classic Dracula colors and definitely look great in unison. So, Frosty Bite is literally a Wendy's Frosty as a vampire. He's cup shaped and has a chocolate Frosty swirl for a head. There's no articulation here, but his arms do have batwing like protrusions. Maybe it's just his cape, though. (There is a "chase" color variant of Frosty Bite that is purple with a green collar.)
* The widow's peak, rosy cheeks, and bat-shaped bow tie are painted on but the mouth and eyes are sculpted elements. He's a cute little fellow, not too terrifying for the kiddos.

A miniature Wendy's Frosty dressed up like Count Dracula? Sure, why the heck not! This guy is really cool and I'm hopeful to at least snag the ghost, Frankenstein's Monster, and the werewolf before the season is over. Wendy's has had some real bangers in their kids' meals over the past few years (those DC minifigures were great) and this set seems like another positive. Spooky fun food! Dracula is a Great little figure. I'm not sure he's quite small enough to truly qualify as a minifigure, but at just a little over 3 inches with no articulation, he's in a similar vein. Similar vein. Get it?
He might be called Frosty Bite but he's clearly dressed up as Dracula. For more review of Count Dracula check out the NECA Dracula (Transylvania), the Funko ReAction Dracula, the McFarlane's Monsters Dracula Playset, Jada Toys' Bela Lugosi as Dracula, the Playmobil Take Along Haunted House 9312, the Big Bucket of Monsters Dracula, Mezco's Tower of Fear, and Dracula from Monster Force.
Fun!
ReplyDeleteThese things are a riot. I really like them. I wish I had scored the Wolf Man.
DeleteThe "kids" are really into these Wendy's toys this year. My local restaurants can't keep them in stock.
ReplyDeleteWendy's has had a few nice promotions lately. Their various DC minifigures have been incredible, too.
DeleteI need one of these. I don't even go to Wendy's!
ReplyDeleteI like their salads pretty well, plus their burgers and chili are better than most places twice the price.
DeleteGet some of that chili on a baked tater.
DeleteI went to Wendy's Friday night with the family. They were out of the Frosty Frights for the kids meal but did have the exclusive skeleton with the Boo Bag meal. Also got the Spongebob pineapple Frosty. Pretty good stuff!
