Jada’s Monsters

I used to work at this law film. Not *for* the law firm; as I was actually employed by one of the owners to do inventory work on a warehouse of Christmas village stuff she owned and stored at this law film (which did have its own warehouse). The law people tended to look at me with a certain wary curiosity, knowing I was not from their world, but they were all nice to me. Except for this one dude, one of the lawyers, named Jada. Yeah, it’s an odd name; I think it must have been his mother’s maiden name or something. Me and the other guy working there as inventory-ers never called him Jada, though. We called him Jackass. Because he was. And it’s not like he could fire us. Every time we’d see him (with no one else around) we’d exclaim, “Jackass!” and point like we’d sighted some kind of cryptid. Jackass hated us, I’m sure.

None of that has anything to do with Jada Toys, the company giving NECA a run for its money (actually a run for *my* money, and yours, too, if you’re an action figure collector like me) with their line of Universal Monsters figures, except that every time I see the word “Jada” I giggle, remembering all those times we would annoy Jackass all those years ago.

Jada Toys (heh) hasn’t released a Wolfman figure yet, but they’re working on it.
