Retro Review - Universal Studios Monsters Kids' Meal Toys from Burger King


In the late 1990's, the classic Universal Studios Monsters experience a resurgence in popularity thanks to their home video re-release. At the same time they were featured as promotional toys in the Burger King Kids' meals and let me tell you, they are awesome. These toys were a big part of my introduction to, and love of the classic Monsters. Even though I only had The Wolf Man as a kid I can remember hunting for The Creature from the Black Lagoon, trying to trade a friend for a Dracula,  and finding Frankenstein later at a flea market. The 90's was a great time for fast food tie in toys and the Universal Monsters set is one of the most unexpected but welcomed collections ever released.
