LF Universal Monsters Frankenstein Neon Mask Mini Backpack

You won’t have to mask your love for the Universal Monsters fandom with the Frankenstein Mask Mini Backpack. This electrifying creation features a glow-in-the-dark Frankenstein-shaped “mask” coin purse, which is removable. The front of the backpack includes clear PVC material, so you can see the “mask” inside. In fact, the entire bag is shaped like a Halloween mask-themed box—as if you were shopping for a costume.

The outside of the bag also has two glow-in-the-dark callouts that read “Colorful Mask” and “Glows in the Dark.” There are stylized letters at the top that spell out Frankenstein, which also appear on the back of the bag, and eerie branches appear on the sides against a purple background. Frankenstein’s name makes an encore super-charged appearance in print.

The bag has padded, adjustable shoulder straps with neon green “stitches” that glow in the dark, side pockets, a zippered main compartment, the glow-in-the-dark removable coin purse, and a fun coordinating inside lining. The hardware on the bag is gunmetal-colored, and it measures 9.25" wide, 11.25" tall, and 5" deep, retailing for $85.00.

Applique “knobs” on the bottom provide an authentic touch, and there’s an enamel-filled rivet of the Funko/Loungefly crown in the middle.

This bag has an adjustable, detachable strap along with a sturdy top handle -- all with gold-colored hardware. The "TV" is a zippered main compartment that reveals a fun coordinating interior lining. The bag is 8.5" wide, 7.5" tall and 4" deep, and will retail at $30.00.
