Worst Paint Job, Way Below the Standard of the Rest of the Great Universal Monster Releases by Johnny Lightning
The majority of vehicles from this second 2005 release (red blister card) and the initial 2004 (blue card) universal monster themed vehicles by Johnny Lightning are nothing short of sensational artistic masterpieces. Something went wrong though with this Frankenstein Hummer, very, very wrong. It's almost as if one of the designers had brought their child into the office with them and they'd said, "can I design the artwork for one, please, please!" Then somehow the disaster got manufactured.The same Hummer that has been around for many a Johnny Lightning series such as Monopoly, Coca Cola and Clue has simply been dipped in a can of dark green paint. The child painting this must have realised how awful the completely one colour was and decided to do something about that. Unfortunately that something was to colour in the windows yellow. Which looks even stupider when you consider the two side door windows don't exist on the Hummer casting so you've got clear air windows of nothing next to yellow ones at the rear sides and back doors. On the roof is a from just above the eyebrows down face image of Frankenstein, he's not looking at towards you, no, depressed he's looking at the ground like he's posing for some sad photo in the liner of a depressing rock ballad album. If the vehicle didn't have the words Frankenstein written across the doors and under the terrible face image, you wouldn't even know it was Frankenstein as the trademark forehead isn't there.Even those who designed the blister card obviously got confused with this, maybe that's why they had to include the text Frankenstein on the vehicle in the first place. The card has a red sticker with the black silhouette of Frankenstein and the word which has been stuck on top of a card that says The Phantom underneath. Guess it cost too much to reprint new blister cards.You'll find Frankenstein on plenty of other vehicles in these two Universal Monster series. I'd get one of them instead!
