NECA Previews Upcoming Black & White ‘Wolf Man’ Action Figure
NECA is working on a new line of Universal Monsters action figures based on the original classics, with Frankenstein’s monster, The Wolf Man, The Mummy and Dracula confirmed.
Revealed this week during NECA’s month-long “31 Nights of Fright” event, the Wolf Man is getting both color and black & white figures, and we’ve got a sneak peek at the latter.
“For the 80th anniversary of Universal’s horror film classic, NECA is excited to reveal The Wolf Man in Ultimate action figure form! Starring Lon Chaney Jr., 1941’s The Wolf Man is critically acclaimed for Chaney’s moving performance and the special effects. The sculpt captures the human and monster sides of this complicated character with interchangeable heads, hands, and lower legs, as well as black and white deco reflecting the look of the original film stock.
“The figure stands in 7” scale, features the authorized likeness of Lon Chaney Jr, and also includes wolf cane, animal trap and stand accessories.”
The figure will be released in early 2022.

In skelebration of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Mattel has unveiled brand-new Monster High Skullector drops set to arrive over the coming months that include Halloween II‘s Michael Myers, The Nightmare Before Christmas‘s Oogie Boogie, Krampus, and more.

With the Halloween season just around the corner, Monster High is slashing into the spirit with a new Michael Myers doll inspired by Halloween II. Michael Myers’s Monster High makeover is a nod to his hospital showdown with Laurie, complete with a red glitter spattered jumpsuit and tons of spine-chilling Easter egg accessories fans of the film will find totally to die for. Look for this slay queen to launch on August 7.
All Hallows’ Eve brings a holiday treat for fans of Tim Burton and director Henry Selick’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The burlap sack baddie of Halloween Town gets a Monster High makeover on October 30, featuring neon green fashion with black patchwork-like stitches and a whole lot of buggy details.
The holiday horrors continue with the December 3 launch of a Monster High doll inspired by 2015’s Krampus movie. A deep red velveteen jacket, extra-long chains add eerie movement, and black knee-high boots recreate Krampus’ cloven hooves. You’ll wind up on the naughty list in style with this one.
