Placo Toys' Frankenstein is a pretty cartoonish looking version of the character. He looks more like something based on a Scooby Doo episode than the classic Universal Studios movie. And I consider that something of a redeeming quality. It's not a good Frankenstein, but it does have a certain charm.

This one seems to be made out of three different plastics. A squishy soft vinyl for the torso, head and hands and a harder vinyl for the arms. The legs and feet (which are one piece) is a cheap polyethylene. I have no idea why it was made in this fashion while the others in the line were not.

10" tall with articulation at the neck, shoulders, wrists and waist. The sculpt on the face is probably the best in the series, although for a dead guy, he sure seems to have a rosy complexion.

Another thing that stood out to me is that his hands are huge. And check out the back. I have no idea why, but there is a huge circle molded into it!
