It's
Wednesday, and you know what that means:
ToyFarce review!
This week, we're having a look at the first two
Universal Monsters Accessory sets from
NECA, for
Frankenstein's Monster and
The Mummy. Continuing the
NECA month, I had those accessory sets on my pile of unopened toys for a while, and it was time to set them free. They come with a cardboard background and end up being pretty great little
dioramas.
The
Universal Monsters Frankenstein Accessory set comes with Dr. Frankenstein
laboratory table, a
laboratory cardboard background, a
plastic towel to add to it, a piece of
white cloth, an
alternate bandaged head for the Frankenstein's monster and a
flaming torch to scare it (
Frankenstein's Monster figure not included). The
box art on those accessory sets looks gorgeous, as usual with
NECA. I had heard that the table cannot be undone once assembled, and that is very true, the pieces snap together and you'd need to break it in pieces if you want to store it back in the box. It's a pretty great looking table, though! The table and the laboratory background make for a decent diorama, and the extra accessories add nicely to your
Frankenstein's Monster figure.
The Mummy Accessory set is pretty great too, as it includes the long awaited
sarcophagus, an
Egyptian themed background, and a
chest (
The Mummy figure not included). When I got the
Mummy figure, I kinda wished it came with a sarcophagus, since it had been teased on the pictures... Well, that's how you sell people an extra
accessory set! The sarcophagus looks really great, with tons of details in the paint apps. The chest can open in order to store the smaller
Egyptian chest that came with the Mummy figure (which hid a
scroll).
The
Dracula Accessory set is already out (and on its way!), along with
Carfax Abbey version of the
Dracula figure (in black and white). I'm looking forward to check those out too!
