Dracula – Mini Monsters by Remco

Dracula Mini Monster by Remco

Halloween is almost here so what better way to mark the occasion than with an absolute classic horror film action figure from what has to be one of my favourite vintage lines - the Remco Mini Monsters. This version of the most famous vampire of them all, Count Dracula as played by Bela Lugosi in the 1931 film Dracula, was issued in 1980 as part of Remco's 3 ¾ inch action figure series. These figures may have been small, but they really were perfectly formed with all six Universal Monsters - … [Read more...]

Frankenstein Mini Monsters by Remco

Universal Monsters action figures, it seems, will never go out of fashion.

The final post in our Halloween series for 2010 and one of my favourite horror film action figures and another Universal Monster movie classic - The Phantom of the Opera as played by Lon Chaney. Issued as part of the Mini Monsters line by Remco in 1980, this 3 ¾ inch action figure may be small, but it has one of the single best movie likenesses of all time. It features one of the earliest of the Universal Monsters – so early, in fact, that the 1925 version of The Phantom of … [Read more...]

The Creature from the Black Lagoon – Mini Monsters by Remco

Creature from the Black Lagoon by Remco

I'm a huge fan of classic Universal Monster movies and consequently have a real weakness for any Universal Monsters action figures I happen to find. Luckily, these film characters have been revisited by toy manufacturers time and time again over the years and there are plenty of them out there for collectors to get their fangs into! The Mini Monsters line is one of my absolute favourites – at 3 ¾ inches these were small, but perfectly formed, action figures that actually carried strikingly … [Read more...]
