The Munsters Minimates Get Moving in the New Minimates Koaches!

November 20, 2012 - The Munsters were one of the more unusual families in American television history, and their family car was just as unusual as they were! While the Munsters fused Transylvania with Suburbia, the Munster Koach fused a hearse with a hot rod, combining speed, size and solemnity into one classy package! Was this the world's first hybrid vehicle? Well, Diamond Select Toys is celebrating the Koach's place in car culture with two different Minimates vehicles -- one in color at Toys "R" Us and one in glorious black-and-white at comic shops and specialty stores. Both come with a Minimate of Herman Munster, but while the color version comes with an extra sad head, the monochrome edition comes wearing his famous drag-racing outfit! Check out the packaging pics below, and pick them both up today!
