Mezco’s Monsters – Tower of Fear Deluxe Boxed Set
5 Points present – Mezco’s Monsters, inspired by the classic monsters of yesteryear.
Bats, brains, and bones – this hair-raising deluxe boxed set has it all and more! Mezco’s Monsters Tower of Fear Deluxe Boxed Set contains 5 figures, a range of accessories, and a multi-level environment diorama.
Standing at a monstrous 18” once assembled, the retro play set diorama creates a decaying Carpathian castle with three floors – a dungeon, a main hall, and Frankenstein’s Lab! Each floor has interactive components for each Monster including a coffin that Dracula can fit inside, a sarcophagus that Mummy can fit inside, lab equipment that Frankenstein’s Monster can connect to, multiple landings for each figure to stand on, and much more!
THE 5 POINTS MEZCO’S MONSTERS – TOWER OF FEAR DELUXE BOXED SET INCLUDES:
- Dracula – He feasts on the blood of the living! Undead, centuries-old, and a Vampire Lord, Dracula transforms into a giant vampire bat with his included Bat-transformation accessory.
- Frankenstein’s Monster – Warn the villagers! Assembled from parts of the dead and brought to life through science, Frankenstein’s Monster terrorizes the town. Frankenstein’s Monster features a removable skullcap that exposes his abnormal brain and a stone block with a shackled chain that attaches to his leg.
- Mummy – Heed the Mummy’s Curse! Awoken from his eternal rest by those who disturbed his chamber and ignored warning, the Mummy now seeks revenge. The Mummy comes complete with artifacts from his burial chambers and a cursed scroll.
- Sea Creature – The prehistoric fish-man of legend. Quite possibly the last of his kind, this scaly-skinned amphibious humanoid dwells alone in the murky waters of the deep. The Sea Creature comes with a Sea Creature fossilized head and two different seaweed accessories that attach to his body.
- Werewolf – Beware the full moon! When the moon is full and high, those who are ‘marked’ will turn into a wolf and hunt their prey. The Werewolf comes with the bloody bones of his fallen victims.
ACCESSORIES:
- One (1) vampire bat (fits over Dracula’s head)
- One (1) skullcap (fits onto Frankenstein’s Monster’s head)
- One (1) Usekh collar
- One (1) unraveled scroll

Amazing! Thanks for the heads up! Just pre-ordered mine at BBTS for less than what Mezco is selling it for.
If I were still into 3.75" figures I would have gotten this! Hopefully Mezco will decide to make these creatures in the One:12 line someday.
Mezco STILL hasn't shipped out the Batman 66 figure set so I'm gonna have to pass on this...
Fish-Man is dumb. He's an obvious no-copyright-was-infringed riff on the Gill-Man from The Creature From the Black Lagoon, but the whole point of the creature is that he's humanoid enough to engage the audience's empathy.
I'm just going to mention that Mezco making these all public-domain, original creations is a great way to go. No need to fork out big bucks to Universal for licenses. I'm sure they've paid a bundle for the Toho line.
That said, the Werewolf design kind of reminds me of the 1956 movie, The Werewolf. Which is cool.
Scooby-Doo???
I saw that Black Lagoon Figure and heard, "Blawahwahwah". Murloc from Hearthstone.
Doesn't bother me too much. I'd get the set. Thinking about it. Not really liking the Drac or Mummy. Tough call.
And ordered. I'm 42 and was a kid at just the tail end of put together, cardboard playsets was the norm. So this thing is hitting so many nostalgia points for me.

Yeah....
Saw this Set....Pretty cool ;^)
But design-wise Fish-Man seems to have drawn his inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft's Deep Ones, which IMO is a pretty sensible way to go about it. I doubt Mezco really cares about how much empathy anyone has for a little plastic creature.
^I was thinking Dagon's Deep Ones as well. It seemed pretty obvious. I prefer that brand of more grotesque merfolk.
