BAFFLING MYSTERIES (SEAWEED MONSTER)
Turbid waters may normally hide the Seaweed Monster from the unsuspecting surface dwellers, but once he rises from the depths to find a new Queen, a new terror will walk among them! This 3.75” scale, articulated glow-in-the-dark ReAction Figure of Seaweed Monster features cardback art inspired by the cover of the July 1952 #7 Baffling Mysteries comic book and depicts the creature as if it has just emerged from the murky depths. As scary as his story is, the real horror would be to have a collection without the Pre-Code ReAction Figure in it!





THE BEYOND (VORACIOUS WEREWOLF)
The race to find a cure is on, but it looks like time has run out as the Werewolf within takes over! This 3.75” scale, articulated Pre-Code ReAction Figure of Voracious Werewolf is inspired by the 1950 comic cover art from The Beyond #1, featuring the lycanthrope looking ravenous in torn clothing. The tale this comic was derived from may have been too intense for the general public, but for fans of the genre, the Voracious Werewolf Pre-Code ReAction Figure will be just the right addition to their collection!




BLACK CAT MYSTERY (RADIUM MAN)
Public Health Notice: As Radium Man can attest, exposure to excessive radiation can seriously impact your complexion and dental health! This 3.75” scale, articulated glow-in-the-dark ReAction Figure of Radium Man features cardback art inspired by the cover of the June 1954 #50 Black Cat comic book and includes a Radium stick accessory. As scary as his story is, the real horror would be to have a collection without the Pre-Code ReAction Figure in it!





CHAMBER OF CHILLS (HEARTLESS ZOMBIE)
There’s no cheating the clutches of death or the heart-connection of eternal love! This 3.75” scale, articulated Pre-Code ReAction Figure of Heartless Zombie is inspired by the 1954 comic cover art from Chamber of Chills #23 and features the undead visage of a decayed, re-animated man, complete with tattered business suit attire. The tale this comic was derived from may have been too intense for the general public, but for fans of the genre, the Heartless Zombie Pre-Code ReAction Figure will be just the right addition to their collection!



CHAMBER OF CHILLS (DEAD DARLING)
On your wedding anniversary, there's more than one way to ensure that you'll be together FOREVER! This articulated, 3.75-inch scale Pre-Code ReAction Figure of Dead Darling is inspired by the 1953 comic cover art from Chamber of Chills #19, featuring a blonde bombshell with poisoned chalice accessory. The art was also the inspiration for the iconic Misfits record "Die Die My Darling," and this figure was done in cooperation with the band. The tale this comic was derived from may have been too intense for the general public, but for fans of the genre, the Dead Darling Pre-Code ReAction Figure will be just the right addition to their collection!



CHILLING TALES (GRAVEYARD GHOUL)
What is the Graveyard Ghoul doing in the Boodega? Only those of stout heart and stomach can handle the answer to that mystery! This 3.75” scale, articulated glow-in-the-dark ReAction Figure of Graveyard Ghoul features cardback art inspired by the cover of the December 1952 #13 Chilling Tales comic book and depicts the Ghoul ready to desecrate an untold number of graves. As scary as his story is, the real horror would be to have a collection without the Pre-Code ReAction Figure in it!





GHOSTLY WEIRD STORIES (COMMANDER BEN WOODRUFF)
Super7 patrons, we can confirm that this outer space journey led by Commander Ben Woodruff has gone horribly awry! This 3.75” scale, articulated glow-in-the-dark ReAction Figure of Ben Woodruff features cardback art inspired by the cover of the March 1954 #122 Ghostly Weird comic book and comes with a detachable cracked helmet and breathing hoses as accessories. As scary as his story is, the real horror would be to have a collection without the Pre-Code ReAction Figure in it!





THE UNSEEN (SPINE-CHILLING GHOUL)
What is it that the undead crave? Is it revenge? Love? Eternal companionship? Only the Ghoul knows for certain! This 3.75” scale, articulated Pre-Code ReAction Figure of Spine-Chilling Ghoul is inspired by the 1952 comic cover art from The Unseen #9 and features the risen soul with green skin and a missing eye, as well as tattered clothes and hair. The tale this comic was derived from may have been too intense for the general public, but for fans of the genre, the Spine-Chilling Ghoul Pre-Code ReAction Figure will be just the right addition to their collection!

  1. Fantastic stuff! Good think I don't' collect figures or I'd be screwed. It's hard enough keeping up with books.

  2. Ha! Ha! I have so many I don't have anywhere to display them, so they just sit in boxes. When I finally had the "a-ha" moment that I should stop buying them, it was too late!
