Monster Fighters

Years:	2012
Related themes:	Studios Collectable Minifigures

Monster Fighters is a theme to be introduced in June 2012. To date, ten sets are known to be released. Every set contains a Moon Stone, that the monsters are attempting to collect to unleash doom on the earth. The stones are based on the monster from that set. A band of Monster Fighters led by Doctor Rodney Rathbone is trying to find the stones before the evil Lord Vampyre.

Description Edit

All the Monster Fighters sets follow a similar pattern. Every one features a lair/vehicle for some sort for a monster with a moonstone somewhere in it (with the exception of 9468 The Vampyre Castle, which contains six), and a vehicle for the Monster Fighters. 9461 The Swamp Creature contains a swamp boat for Frank Rock, and a small marshy lair for the Swamp Monster. 9462 The Mummy includes a chariot drawn by a glow-in-the-dark skeletal horse, and an autogyro piloted by Ann Lee. 9463 The Werewolf includes a large brown tree (of various shades) inhabited by the Werewolf, and an old car piloted by Major Quinton Steele. 9464 The Vampyre Hearse features, as its name would indicate, a hearse driven by the Zombie Driver. It also features a small motorcycle driven by Dr. Rodney Rathebone.

9465 The Zombies features a tomb inhabited by three zombies, and a large car driven by Jack McHammer. The majority of 9466 The Crazy Scientist and His Monster, consists of a large laboratory, and a strange blue car driven by two Monster Fighters. In 9467 The Ghost Train, a very large train, with three Ghosts riding on it is featured, as well as a plane driven by Frank Rock. The largest potion of 9468 The Vampyre Castle is a large castle, although it also includes a car driven by Monster Fighters.

There is no particular colourscheme for the theme, although greys and black are featured prominently in many sets, and, every one with the exception of 9461 The Swamp Creature, contains at least one glow-in-the-dark part.

Background Edit

Lord Vampyre, a powerful vampire, was pestered by his wife to get her a Moon Stone, but when Lord Vampyre finally found it, he realized the power and decided to keep them for himself. If all six of them are brought together (though there are actually seven in total) it would open the gateway to the Monster Realms, and permanently eclipse the sun bringing day to night forever. To defend the earth from this new threat, Rodney Rathbone put together a band of Monster Fighters to retrieve the stones before Vampyre collected them to unleash their power. These Monster Fighters include Frank Rock, Major Quinton Steele, Ann Lee, Jack McHammer and of course Rodney Rathbone.

Notes Edit

The theme adds more parts introduced in the Minifigures theme to mainstream sets. A few of the most noticeable parts are the Cave Woman's hair and the Musketeer's sword. Also, many of the antagonists are remade version of figures featured in the Minifigures theme: The Monster, Crazy Scientist, Zombie, Vampire, Mummy, and Werewolf.
In addition to remaking Minifigures minifigures, several of the the monsters have previously been featured in the Studios theme. See Ghost, Frankenstein's Monster, Mad Scientist, Vampire, Mummy, and Werewolf.
Even though Lord Vampyre only needs six Moon Stones to power eclipse the sun, there are seven in the theme; his own - decorated with a bat - a swamp weed, lightning bolt, ghost, wolf, Eye of Horus, and zombie hand.
The theme appears to feature a very large amount of unique glow-in-the-dark parts, including the ghost's shrouds, several elements on the Ghost Train, and the vampires' heads. In addition to these, spiders, werewolf claws, and a skeletal horse also glow. The only set that would appear to not feature any glowing parts at all is 9461 The Swamp Monster.
