Taco Bell Monsters

[Werewolf]

In honor of the season, the infamous Creature Crypts.

The lesser known and much weirder counterparts to the popular Burger King Universal Monsters. Released by Taco Bell in the US and KFC in the UK in 2003. There's seven total in the set. Six figures and one under three toy. The six figures are Count Vladi (Vampire), Ghul (zombie), Beastor (Frankenstein's Monster), Mummentut (Mummy), Wolvadian (Werewolf) and Urzella (Witch) The UK didn't get Mummentut and the US didn't get Urzella. The under three toy is a large cute bat that squeaks and flaps his wings. I will post a pic of him later.

All the figures come with a spring loaded push button Crypt that raises the monsters out of their coffins or tombs. The US releases all came with a character specific trading card.





The cool thing about these is they didn't bootleg Universal as usual. I think they went with more Hammer vibe. Especially with Beastor and Count Vladi. The articulation is the neck shoulders and waist. Except for Urzella which only has articulation at the right shoulder.

It's to a lot of happy meal toys all monsters including the BK & Taco Bells.
