I've been a big supporter of the O-Ring renaissance in recent years. I didn't realize how much I loved this 80's staple until it started trickling back into the action figure world a few years ago. And companies like Super7 are riding this renewed wave of popularity hard and producing all sorts of interesting properties. Micronauts, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Ghostbusters are not licenses I would have expected to work so well in this format, but they certainly do. My favorite line, aside from G.I.Joe, so far is the classic Universal Monsters. As much as I was always fond of the old Universal Monsters Remco and Placo toys, the production style was a bit unpolished for my tastes and they never included the Bride of Frankenstein.. so I never bothered to collect any of the vintage figures. But now finally getting a Bride in a vintage format scratches an itch I didn't even know was there. I think she's glorious. And I'm already anticipating an eventual GITD or a mummy-head variant. Let's check her out below!
The Bride's robes have a small velcro strip at the rear neck so they can be removed.
She is in full mummy wrapping underneath.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
From Left to Right: Her 2014 Funko ReAction figure, her 2026 Super7 ReAction+ figure, and her 2019 Super7 ReAction figure.
And here are all the Super7 ReAction+ Universal Monsters figures so far.
I hope they make more.
Cheers!
