BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN

 Jada Toys, after years of models and toy cars decide to makes its debut on the action figures field with the Universal Monsters, just like Sideshow did it 20 years ago with awesome results. Wath make this figures stand out is the small scale and the low price. This are the smallest Monster i have and the low budget wasnt good news at all. Dracula dosnt looked too good for me and Frankenstein either, tough once in hand, he wasnt that bad.

And actually, i got Frankenstein just because i got the Bride, it was imposible for me to miss her. She comes in small scale of the 90s action figures, but Jada take in consideration Elsa Lanchester´s small frame and size, soo this Bride is much more smaller and delicate than her Monster mate. Despite of that she can stand on her own, tough her balance is not that good sometimes.

he is articulated on the neck, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, chest, legs, middle legs, knes and ankles. All articulations works fantastic except the shoulders, they are kinda stiff. Also the unions on her biceps are kinda lose and make her arms looks broken. I guess the small budget leave its marks here.

And thats pretty much the only part where the small budget is visible, since the rest of the figure is astonishing. The sculpt is really perfect, while the Monster sculpt was kinda blurry, this woman is most deffinetly Elsa Lanchester: her big eyes, the small nose and pouty lips, its evident even on a profile view, the linkes is exceptional and the hair sculpt is really amazing and have the perfect size and shape.

Her body is also amazing, with a very femenine shape, the bandages texture is really welldone from neck to toes. Her dress tailoring is a little simple tough since it dosnt have the shoulder pads or the long tail in the back, but still, the fabric is pretty thin and delicate, almost like silk, it have a nice flow and is elastic enough to let her move her body.

With a small velcro in the back, the dress can be removed easy to show her bandaged body on all her glory.

The paint job is excelent as well. The white strikes on her hair are perfect as well as her pale almost green skin tone, the soft pink on her checks, big eye lashes and blood red lips, it looks really amazing for such a small scale. The bandages on the body also have a pretty natural and well done yelow wash that matches the texture. I wish her mate´s jacket had this paint quality.

She comes with a pair of hands on a weird gesture as well as a screaming extra head, all of them can be exchanged pretty easy and, again, the screaming head is impresive. The expression on her eyes is really fierce and you can see her small and tiny tongue and teeth, i think i will leave this head on her permanently.

Her other accesoryes are a pair of weird metal rods coming from the ground with a black ball on top, as well as bandages and chains hanging from them. The bandages are made with ribbon and the chains are real metalic chains tough i dont know wath are this or how the Bride can interact with them aside of tangle the chains around her arms. This strange items also came with Diamond Select´s Bride (i dont have her) soo i guess they must mean something.

While the tailoring of the dress could be a little more detailed and the detail on her biceps is anoying, this figure quality is just trully amazing, the distance between her and her mate is huge. Just made her in sufter material and put the Figma brand on the box and this could be easy a 100$ figures. Until NECA release theyr Ultimate Bride, i think this is pretty much the best quality Bride action figure to date.
