Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Nice artwork reminiscent of the original 2004 release vehicles (ones on blue carded blister packs) is on each side of this van of the wolf man with a lady unconscious or dead in his arms. There's another guy holding a long handed axe or something, maybe about to attack the Wolfman, haven't seen the movie so don't know. It's a nice mural whatever it is. The brown car cover with this one is hairy! There's nothing one the roof though, which is a bit of a missed opportunity. On the rear doors you can see Wolfman in the right window. He looks like he's about to start wrestling so I guess he was captured and put in the back. Or maybe its designed so you pull up behind the van at the lights and think Wolfman's about to attack you!
All the vehicles that made up the Universal Monsters Release 2 series are -
1 1980 Aerovette - just a black car with red windows and no decals give it a miss. It has a Dracula car cover.
2 Hispano Suiza Cabriolet - this is the best of release 2 vehicles, is an old fashioned convertible similar to what Mr Burns drives on The Simpsons and the one that was in the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade film. It has a bat flying in front of the full moon on the doors and Dracula written on the boot (trunk). The car cover is black.
3 Howlaboo Fantasy Custom- brown dragster type vehicle wolf man themed.
4 This 1976 Ford Van
5 Corvette Stingray - The Phantom of the Opera is on the side of this dark grey Corvette and a skeleton is on the bonnet (hood). The car cover is red just like a theatre curtain.
6 2001 Hummer - A really bad paint job means this dark green hummer with yellow painted windows and part of Frankenstein's head painted on the roof is a bit of a joke. Unless you're collecting the whole series, give this one a miss!
7 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe - You've got to look hard at the black decals (sides) and light green (bonnet/hood) on this dark green vehicle to even make out what it is. It's the Creature from the Black Lagoon. There's much better vehicles promoting this guy, one in this series as well as the original that are so much better than this. A light green car cover is supposed to look like scales.
8 1933 Willy's Panel Van- Much better tribute to the Creature from Black Lagoon, the creature is painted onto the sides (along with a full moon) and the roof as well. The logo words are also on the doors.
9 Chrysler Atlantic Concept - Comes with Egyptian hieroglyphic car cover. This dark sand coloured vehicle has the mummy on the doors and some hieroglyphics on the bonnet.
10 1971 Pontiac GTP Judge - Mummy themed again, but this time with a human on the side who I assumed fights the mummy in the film or turns into it.
11 - Lotus Esprit - Marketed as Frankenstein but is pretty much just chains on the side of a lotus.
