(comment) A monster created by humans and never given a name.
Ironically, he is called "Frankenstein" after his creator.
The iconic square-shaped head and bolt in the neck were established by the 1931 film Frankenstein. The face is designed to resemble Boris Karloff, who played the monster at that time.
The gimmick is borrowed from Mr. Mercury, which was sold by the same manufacturer, and uses a remote control to walk, bend and stretch, and move the arms up and down (Hasegawa).
