Saturday Afternoon Haul: Universal Monsters, DC, Batman, Spawn, Goosebumps and more

Today's full-on, proper Saturday Afternoon Haul features a few recent additions to our collection including Universal Monsters, DC, Batman, Spawn, Goosebumps and more.


We stumbled upon this Man of Miracles, most recently seen in Marvel's Miracleman comics. This was an early Spawn release from the 2000's. Next to it is The Bride of Frankenstein ReAction figure from Super7. Somehow, this is one that I never picked up.

As we reported earlier, Super7 has also released these Walmart-exclusive Monsters of the Silver Screen versions blind boxes featuring different Universal Monsters. I also picked up a box of the Annual DC collectible cards from Upper Deck. And next to that is the DC Super Powers Jason Todd version of Robin from McFarlane Toys.

The local Walmart had their few remaining Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles classic figures on sale for $2, so I couldn't pass up this Raphael with the Storage Shell option. And next to Raphael is Super Friends Batman from McFarlane Toys. This is the first I've picked up from the Super Friends line I'd seen and while the figures was just okay, I love the classic Saturday Morning-style tattered packaging.

I wasn't fully aware that Goosebumps was releasing figures, but totally surprised when I found one at a nearby Walmart. I never read the Goosebumps books, but I loved the character design of this Scarecrow figure.

Two Spawn pickups include the older Ninja Spawn and one of my favorite characters the Deviant from the Rat City comic.

There are some pretty cool DC characters coming out from McFarlane right now. While there were several I really wanted to pick up, I went with this chase version of Batman: Year One and these two Target figures Connor Hawke and Hourman. I wish DC would do more with Hourman, an original JSA member.

A couple grails for me from Universal Monsters. I've got all of the color Universal Monsters Toony Terrors, but never found any of the black and white vresions. Happily, I found Dracula in a nearby Target. Also something I've been hunting is this Bride of Frankenstein version of the Frankenstein monster figure.

The Funko POP's are slowing down a little, but Target had this Saltburn figure of Oliver from last year's movie and The Bride from DC's Creature Commandos, which I found at a Books-a-Million.

I've not been in any hurry to get the non-monster Ben Cooper figures, but this Superman, which I found in Target, has such a vintage feel to it, I had to pick it up to go with my Batman. And speaking of the Caped Crusader, here's DC Retro Batman Forever version from Spin Master.

And finally, this hardback comic collection features Marvel's Tower of Shadows 70's horror series in one nice-looking presentation.
