A second toy in the Universal Monsters series, following on from Draculus 2 years ago, and in similar VHS cassette styled packaging.... Frankentron is redeco of the Siege Impactor toy, with a new head to homage Frankenstein's Monster.
The toy comes with a weapon that I don't recognise, so could be new... but I could be wrong.

There aren't any listings on Australian sites yet, but if you desperately want this toy and it doesn't show up in the next week here (at places like Amazon, JB, EB or Popcultcha), you can pre-order it from Amazon America for us$35, with about us$11-12 shipping.

It is scheduled for release January 1st, 2024.
