Frankentron: Hasbro Turns Frankenstein’s Monster into a ‘Transformers’ Action Figure!
What if… the Universal Monsters became Transformers? That’s the question answered by a new action figure from Hasbro, which imagines Frankenstein’s Monster as Frankentron!
The officially licensed Universal Monsters x Transformers mashup action figure is now available for pre-order, and it’s expected to begin shipping out on January 1, 2024.
Hasbro previews the upcoming figure, “It’s alive! Welded together from deceased Cybertronian parts, a new creation has escaped Dr. Frankenstein’s lab – Frankentron!”
Here’s the full rundown…
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE: Transformers robots have always been More Than Meets the Eye. Now fans can experience Transformers characters as they mash-up with iconic characters who share this same quality.

Funko is getting into the Halloween spirit already. Spirit Halloween and Funko are teaming up for an exclusive, limited-edition Funko POP! Movie Moment from Bride of Chucky that’ll leave you saying “I do.”
The Chucky & Tiffany Funko is available exclusively at SpiritHalloween.com now and at Spirit Halloween stores opening nationwide starting in August.
The new Movie Moment figure is “Standing at 3.5” tall, the Chucky & Tiffany Funko proves that love hurts – but there’s no doubt these two were meant to be. Featuring a blood-stained checkered floor base and fireplace background, this duo is a chilling tribute to horror’s most iconic declaration of love.”
In Bride of Chucky (1998), “Chucky, the doll possessed by a serial killer, discovers the perfect mate to kill and revive into the body of another doll. Tiffany is born.” Directed by Ronny Yu, the raucous horror comedy doubled down on the dolls, pairing Brad Dourif‘s iconic killer doll with Jennifer Tilly, who would become a horror icon in her own right as Chucky’s bride Tiffany.
Of course, Chucky and Tiffany’s dysfunctional romance is still going, er, strong today with “Chucky.” The series just wrapped its third season, which saw the on-and-off-and-on again lovebirds reunite. Here’s to hoping a season renewal is on the way soon. In the meantime, at least this new Funko POP! exclusive immortalizes the pint-sized killers in happier times.
