The Munsters Legacy Still Has Legs (and Bolts)
Before diving into the figures, let’s talk about why they matter. The Munsters ran from 1964 to 1966 and became a staple of American pop culture. With Fred Gwynne as the affable Frankenstein-inspired Herman and Al Lewis as the scheming but loveable Grandpa, the show balanced classic horror tropes with sitcom charm. Its legacy holds up, influencing everything from cartoons to modern horror comedy. And NECA, no stranger to nostalgia, has picked the perfect pair for plastic immortality.
NECA Herman Munster Figure Breakdown
The Herman Munster collectible brings real character to the shelf. NECA’s sculpt captures Fred Gwynne’s lanky frame, his unmistakable smile and all the charm of the show’s towering patriarch. He comes with three swappable heads, each capturing a different comedic moment, and hands to match whatever mood you’re posing him in.
Props include a stack of pancakes (yes, pancakes), silverware, his lunchbox, a toy version of himself and even a bent iron bar. These aren’t just clever nods, they’re scene-stealers that inject humour and context into your display. The tailoring on his coat and the subtle paintwork give this figure a screen-accurate presence.
Grandpa Munster NECA Figure Features
Now Grandpa’s here to cause a bit of undead mischief. The likeness to Al Lewis is uncanny, with several expressive head sculpts and a sly smirk or two thrown in for good measure. He comes equipped with lab-style accessories including bubbling potion bottles, a shovel, a bat bottle and a soft-goods cape for maximum flair.
While Herman brings the domestic comedy, Grandpa’s clearly geared for mischief. The included hands and expressions make this figure easy to pose mid-scheme, or mid-potion if you’re going for a more “mad scientist” vibe. It’s a welcome touch that NECA has leaned into his quirky inventor side.
Price and Packaging
Bundled together at $75.98 or sold individually for $41.99 each, they’re well-priced for Ultimate-format figures. The window-box packaging features character-specific art and a flip-open front flap, making them collector-friendly whether you’re an opener or a MOC (mint on card) type. Given NECA’s consistent quality, these are great value for fans of vintage TV and modern figure design.
A Natural Evolution from NECA’s Other Lines
If you’ve collected from NECA’s other lines, like the funhouse horror of their Toony Terrors Series 12 or the gothy mashup of TMNT’s Shredder as Dracula Crimson, you’ll spot the same design logic here. They honour the characters’ roots without being too reverent to make them dull. You’re getting figures that beg to be posed, photographed and maybe given a silly crossover moment or two on your shelf.
