Diamond Select Toys' Retro Cloth Bride of Frankenstein admires a scary selection of Minimates. (Photograph by Joseph Szadkowski / The Washington Times)The Mummy and Quasimodo (Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum, for ages 3 and older, $7.49) — Diamond celebrates Universal Studios Monsters with not only plenty of larger action figures, but also a third series of Minimates.
This special two-pack, available only at Toys R Us stores, offers blocky, 2-inch-tall versions of Boris Karloff’s 1932 portrayal of resurrected Egyptian priest Imhotep and Lon Chaney’s 1923 creation of the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Both arrive in a black-and-white color scheme, harkening back to the early days of horror cinema. Both are a fitting addition to any fanatic fan’s ever-growing collection of Minimates.
