The full set of figures found in the Monsters book and box set. Eclectic does not begin to describe it.

(Editor note: This is the final of the three Monster Toy Blog-relevant book/toy sets. Unlike the Magical Creatures and Mythical Beasts sets, I never covered this one on the FaunaFigures blog, but I’ll use the same general format) Here I am with the last Groovy Tubes set from Innovative Kids that focused on monsters, myths and fantasy (there was a Knights one…not sure if that would fit but I don’t have it).

If you’ve read my reviews on the Dinosaur Toy Blog, it should come as no surprise to our burgeoning readership that I am a fan of old monster movies and practical special effects. And if you’re a fan of those things too then you’re likely a fan of Ray Harryhausen.

Howdy from wonderful windy Wyoming, and welcome to the Monster Toy Blog! Today we will be reviewing a Reaper Miniatures ettin.

But before we take a look at our giant, a little history about the creature. The word ettin is derived from the Middle English words eten and/or etend, which came from the Old English word eoten.
