The 12 Must-Buy Universal Monsters 7-Inch Figures Releasing This January

Leonardo as The Creature from the Black Lagoon

Turtles are known for being aquatic so it makes sense that NECA would bring The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back to their roots with this Creature from the Black Lagoon figure. The iconic blue leader is rocking webbed toes and claws. At 7 inches, he comes with 8 removable pieces and accessories. 

Donatello as The Invisible Man

Donatello is channeling his inner invisible man with this NECA figure. The coolest part of this set is that Don’s shell is translucent so you can see the slices of pizza stuffed in there. Like his brothers, he also comes with detachable limbs and fighting accessories. 

Raphael as Frankenstein’s Monster

It makes sense that Raphael would be Frankenstein’s Monster, filled with rage for being created. This version of Raph sees him with a large forehead and bolts coming out of his neck. His sais are in the shape of lightning bolts as an homage to the Mary Shelley character. 

Michelangelo as The Mummy

Cowa-bunga! This figure of Michaelangelo has him dressed up as The Mummy. He comes with ankh nunchucks, a bendable cobra, and detachable body parts, including a grimacing face. The figure is 7 inches tall and comes in a collector-friendly box decorated with a custom illustration. 

Leonardo as The Hunchback

$35 $38 Save $3

If one Universal figure wasn’t enough for the TNMT leader, NECA gave the world Leonardo as the Hunchback from Frankenstein. At 7 inches, Leo gives a menacing grin. His shell is prominently featured and can open up to store various items like two katanas, shovels, bones, and even a brain – just like Ygor. 

April O’Neil as The Bride of Frankenstein

Rounding out the TMNT Frankenstein collection is April O’Neil as the infamous bride. The 7-inch tall figure trades her fair skin for a green ghoulish pigment that brings out the white streaks in her hair. Wrapped in tattered cloth, she is ready to report on anything with her messenger bag, microphone, and detachable body parts.

Casey Jones as Phantom of the Opera

For this version of Casey Jones, The Phantom of the Opera is playing hockey! Combining the TMNT universe with the classic tale of revenge and longing, Casey Jones merges the two stories by wearing a hockey mask to cover his face. He comes with multiple hockey sticks, detachable hands, and a skull. 

Splinter as Van Helsing

Master Splinter is known for reigning in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, just like Van Helsing does with vampires. Though their approaches are very different, this figure sees the sensei as the vampire hunter. He comes with or without a hat, various weapons, and detachable hands. 

Universal Monsters Retro Glow-in-the-Dark Set of 3

What’s better than three Universal Movie Monster figures for a reasonable price? Ones that glow in the dark! Featuring Frankenstein’s monster, The Mummy, and Wolfman, these creatures are sure to scare up your collection whether the lights are on or not. Each figure is packaged individually and NECA-certified. 

Dracula Black and White Version

Dracula is just better in black and white. The same goes for this NECA figure. Without a pigment of color, this bloodsucker comes with five extra hands in various positions, a top hat, cane, two removable faces, and a bat in flight. It comes in just under 7 inches. 

Creature from the Black Lagoon

As part of Jada’s collaboration with Universal, no collection is complete without The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Display him in terrifying positions, with or without his signature net and spear. He comes with an alternate detachable head and a unique collectible box and stands a little over six inches.
