Very different.
I'm interested in reading all those "instructions" I guess they are.
If you have larger pictures, I could translate the spanish text for you if you want.

D'oh!

I can't believe I forgot about that! That's what I get for cranking out a review that I started back in October, of a toy that I bought roughly 1 year ago, without actually stopping to play with it again. Yes, it makes noise as well. When the head flies off, some weird sounds start and it speaks to you Spanish. I guess I gotta get some video up now, as well as better pics, so that overcracker can do some translating! ;)

Better than beerpong?

I could see this possibly being an excellent drinking game. It has a nice Russian Roulette slant to it.

Wow, that's really an old electronics. But its sounds are too echoing, I think. For the scary-effect maybe? :))

Translation

O.k here we go.

Instructions:
Pic 1: Raise Frankie's bust and Place one 1.5 volt Battery. (battery not included)

Pic 2: Rotate right screw to 'scramble' (literally it says to 'un-know') the secret code / key he holds inside.

Pic 3: Each player takes a rod / pin and on their turn inserts it into the chosen hole. If nothing happens, remove the pin, and the turn moves to the next player.

Pic 4: If you guess the secret code correctly, his head will rise and you'll hear his voice amidst thunder and lightning.

Left side blurb:
Once the game is over squeeze the head down until it locks in place, where it was when the game started, and you'll stop hearing his voice automatically.

Before starting the next game don{t forget to turn the right screw to 'un-know' the position of the secret code.

As far as what he says: "Voy a descubrirte mis poderes' I'm going to uncover my powers for you.

Evil Laughter...

Something I can't make out, and then "Estoy Aqui para descubrirte mis poderes" I'm here to uncover my powers for you.

Weird, not something I'd expect a Frankestein monster to say, but oh well. Its still a nifty doodad.

The Audio was quite hard to make out with all the thunder and lightning LOL.

Thanks very much!

And that's another thing I messed up.. I forgot you have to turn the screw (the bolt in his neck) to reset the game. D'oh... Worst review ever.. LOL
