Happy Halloween! Today's the day to go out and enjoy lots of spooky fun, so don't just sit around online all day; make the most of this Halloween! Today I've got a rather brief review of the new Bride of Frankenstein POP! vinyl from Funko. This is a fairly new release and while it's not the first version of the Bride that Fynko has released, it certainly is the most colorful. On Funko's website they call this variant Bride of Frankenstein (Deco), which I assume is how they're referring to this cool colorscheme that reminds me of 1970s comic book art. Despite the Bride only being in The Bride of Frankenstein for under 4 minutes (and appearing in no other films) her unique appearance and the creepy mannerisms Elsa Lanchester gave her have still made her one of the most recognizable and iconic monsters in the world of horror. James Whale's original cut of film would have been 87 minutes long but Carl Laemmle Jr. wanted it cut down, so the only version we have today is only 75 minutes. The film is excellent and top tier Universal Horror, but wouldn't you have liked to have seen that original director's cut? Let's celebrate the Bride of Frankenstein by checking out this cool, colorful POP! after the break...
The Facts:
Height: 4 inches
Articulation: Swivel head.
Accessories: None
Non-Scalper Price: $12-$13 dollars
The Positives:
* The Bride of Frankenstein is in a fairly neutral pose which probably helps her stand upright despite having her wild hairdo. Her dress gives her a wide enough base. Her head rotates, like most POP! vinyls, so you can pose her a bit to add some character to your display.
if you've read every day of 31 Days of Toy Terror Takes the Universe I greatly appreciate it! I hope you enjoyed this fun tribute to the Universal Studios Monsters and those fun and influential films from the early 20th century. This is a Great take on the Bride of Frankenstein. The colors are just eye-popping and add a nice bit of pizazz to the display. I've actually got quite a bit more stuff I've wanted to check out related to Frankenstein and the Bride, so I think I have something fun and spooky planned for November, too. Happy Halloween and never let the party die!

Definitely a Munsters vibe. Cute though. And weird timing cause I’m watching Bride of Frankenstein right now! Happy Halloween - thanks for all the posts!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome! With NECA rolling on their classic horror lines and some great movies coming out soon (the Robert Eggers Nosferatu and the new Wolf Man), expect to see lots more classic horror around here next year.
