Last month, we got a sneak peek at some of the additional figures joining NECA’s Universal Monsters Ultimate figure line thanks to the release of a visual guide for the collection. With the release, we learned the line of figures would be joined by several additional monsters, including The Bride of Frankenstein, and that the black-and-white version of Dracula will be a unique release and not just a color variant of the color figure. Now, both figures are available for pre-order.
Ultimate Bride of Frankenstein
The first new figure up for pre-order is the colorized version of The Bride of Frankenstein. This detailed seven-inch scale Ultimate action figure captures Elsa Lanchester’s portrayal of the creature stitched together to be the monster’s mate. It comes with bandages, a removable gown, two pairs of hands, and three interchangeable head sculpts.
The Ultimate Bride of Frankenstein figure is available for pre-order now from Entertainment Earth for $34.99 and is expected to be released in June of this year.
Ultimate Dracula (Carfax Abbey)
Deviating from creating just a straight monochrome variant of the color figure as with past black-and-white Universal Monsters Ultimate figure releases, NECA has created a special black-and-white version of Dracula featuring the character in his formal tuxedo, which he wears at his Carfax estate. NECA worked closely with the estate of Bela Lugosi to capture the actor’s expressive likeness and for additional background detail on essential costume elements. The seven-inch scale Ultimate Dracula (Carfax Abbey) action figure has a removable soft goods cape and comes with plenty of accessories: a top hat, cane, and bat, plus three interchangeable heads and hands. Interestingly, it also includes an additional neck piece making it compatible with the heads from the color version.
The Ultimate Dracula (Carfax Abbey) is available for pre-order now from Entertainment Earth for $34.99 and is expected to be released in March of this year.
