Series 1
The Series One figurine follows the classic movie interpretation of the monster, although it has the bolts through the head rather than the neck, a variation that has become common since the late 20th century. The figure has huge boots, long arms and a shaggy garment over its torso, secured by a chain. The figurine was available in red and green, and all four Series 1 neon shades.
Official Biography
Species: Reanimated Corpse
Created: At Geneva in 1818
Habitat: He lives in European towns
In 1818, a young chemist named Victor Frankenstein attempted to build a 'perfect' human using parts from dead bodies. Unfortunately, his final creation was far from perfect - the monster received the brain of a murderer by mistake, making him very violent. He was quite ugly, couldn't talk, and had bad manners to boot! A bolt of lightning brought this monster to life, giving him superhuman strength. He had a hard time making friends and was often chased and stoned by the villagers. When Victor refused to build him a girlfriend, he became angry, killed several people and left to lead a life alone in the Arctic wastelands. This is definitely a moody guy!
2006 Series
The Monster is a monster in the class "The Humanoids." He is monster #8. The 2006 redesign of the monster was heavily changed, but was still recognisable as a classic interpretation of Frankensteins monster. It retained the shaggy covering, long arms, boots and chain, but was far bulkier. The skin was now a pale, deathly tone instead from the traditional green. The Monster's trading card has a total points value of 179.
Official Card Biography
