Here's the last of the four Universal Studios Monsters offered by Burger King back in '97, The Creature From The Black Lagoon. I have a confession: of the four baddies this is my least favorite. I grew up in the '50s and '60s and saw the movie once on TV. I disliked it so much, whenever it came on again I simply watched something else. I don't know why, maybe it was too fishy for me :-) Anywho, now that I've got these four I have to figure out a way to work them into the Halloween set-up. Creature measures 4 1/2" (11.43cm) H and although he doesn't come wish a crate, coffin, or fish bucket he does have special operating feature; dunk him in water for a bit so he fills up with water, then press his chest and he squirts!

Burger King Universal Studios Monsters 1997 - Frankenstein
If you're my age, it's almost sacrilege to put together a Halloween set-up and not have at least a couple classic monsters. Back in 1997, Burger King produced a four figure tribute set to Universal's classic baddies: Frankenstein, The Wolfman, Dracula, and the Creature From The Black Lagoon as part of their Kids Club meals. Hard to go wrong with a foursome like that. These are great figures which stand approx 4" high - now, I just have to figure out how to work them into Spooky Village!
Frankie is articulated, though not at the knees and elbows. he has a translucent green head which was designed such that when he lays on the operating table and the light is turned on it illuminates his head in an eerie light. However, after all these years the light embedded in the table no longer works. He's a pretty good likeness of Boris Karloff in his iconic role, right down to the elevator shoes which made him tower over the other actors! Frankie stands 4" (10.16cm) H, the table measures 4"(10.16cm) L x 2" (5.08cm) W x 2 1/8" (5.39cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
The graphics on the clear plastic bag
4-page mini-booklet
terrific sticker
The bench comes disassembled
The bench is designed to fit Dracula and The Wolfman as well
The operating table bears a resemblance to the one in the movie which actually tilted up to allow Boris/Frankie to disembark on his journey of mayhem. The control panel was not actually connected to the table but several feet away being manipulated by Dr. Frankenstein.
that big lever on the right is the light switch - but alas, no light here!
