Monsters Vs. Aliens is the latest animated movie released by Dreamworks, the makers of the popular Sherk series of films. The film looks like it will do well at both the box office and the toy shop.
There’s a wide variety of products available; in our investigations, we’ve been on the look-out for fun action toys.
DELUXE 6″ ACTION FIGURES
There are currently six different figures from the range of Deluxe Action Figures:
- B.O.B.
- Dr. Cockroach
- Ginormica (Susan)
- The Missing Link
- Gallaxhar
- The Alien Clone Robot
Each figure is about six inches tall, which makes Ginormica seem a lot less ginormous when stood next to her contemporaries. However, the figures do look good and B.O.B is even supplied with some real green slime.
Available for around £10.00 from: Argos • Toys R Us • Amazon.co.uk • Amazon.com • eBay
