I don't get it

I think she would have sold better paired with Frankenstein. I would have personally preferred rooted hair like the 12 inch Hasbro Bride but it's still a really nice figure.

i love the universal monsters ,and the bride was great ,i think one problem was ,that she was in only one film and at the last
five minutes at that.while the creature and other monsters are featured in 3 to 5 to 8 films under their belts ,however the bride was a
very nice done figure ,she should have had shoes or boots though so she can stand better ,who could tell under her shroud.

My other theory is it's the ridiculous face paint as dictated by the out of date Universal Monsters style guide. It hurts an otherwise great figure.

I agree. I was on the fence on her, and got her as a gift. Once I opened her, I really liked her, but that pasty paint scheme really hurts it. It looks like it was put on with a house paint roller. She looks GREAT with the Frankenstein Monster in the line, though.

If they are going that cheap, my daughter may need one of these!

Dang. Now I'm seeing her for $0.99 in the Amazon links.

Yeah with like $12 in shipping.

Poor bride - she didn't want the monster, collectors don't want her.

And yes, our hands were tied by Universal's style guide. We wanted to do a better face paint.
But we did make the white smock removable for those who wanted her "in bandages only".

You don't get why the Bride is going so cheap. I don't get why they cancelled the Universal Monsters. I love the Bride. I love all the Universal Monsters dolls they made, and bought 2 of each. I'm standing here with cash in my hand waiting to spend it on more Universal Monsters.....

Aside from Frankenstein's Monster, his Bride, Dracula, Wolfman and Mummy, who's left?

Do the Phantom of the Opera, the Invisible Man and Dr. Frankenstein count as Monsters themselves?

Quasimodo wouldn't fit the bill, on account of his gentle nature, his appearance notwithstanding.

So who else is there?

[thunderbolt]

Invisible Man, Mole People, Werewolf of London, to name a few.

[PNGwynne]

Quasimodo's long been considered a "classic" monster (albeit C-lister) by filmdom, Marx, Aurora, Lincoln, Kenner, Sideshow, and now Universal Licensing.


And as T-bolt noted, there're still more options if they'd agree to continue: Invisible Man, Mole People, A&C Mr. Hyde, Werewolf of London, Hjalmar Poelzig (The Black Cat), Dracula's Daughter, Kharis, the Creature Walks Among Us, the Leech Woman, Monster on Campus.

Most are obscure, but I've always felt DST could support one more wave.

[galaxyexplorer42]

Mr Hyde and the Invisible Man would be the next logical choice, in my opinion. What really gets my goat, is that those figures WERE made in the select series! As was Quasimoto! They GOTTA make those in the Retro Cloth line. It's just maddening to me...

I like my UM bride figure. Don't understand either why she sold so poorly either. I think its a great looking figure. That outfit and her bandages really make her stand out. Her and my Remco Frankenstein (thanks Mego Maniac Mark) make a great pair together.
