What is it? Monster Factory is a “character toy brand” based in Canada. The toy store appears to have been around since 2003 but the web serials(above) look to be something new.

What We Learned: Monster Factory was found by Harry Myland through the ads on his webcomic Nomad Tofu. Like Harry’s comic, Monster Factory is a wonderful thing. This newly minted web series(5 episodes and rising) looks to be a promotional effort. Gotta get the kids, young and old, to the store to spend that hard earned cash on some cute plush monster action. We’ve watched the series from beginning to end. They’ve worked their magic on us.

In the video above we’ve included the trailer and the five episodes. If you like quirky comedy where muppet monsters and people exist in the same reality, you’ll definitely like what they’ve got cooking here.

Rating: E for everyone. A rare occurrence for this site no doubt. However that doesn’t make it any less entertaining.

When to Watch: Next episode(as of this posting) is November 1st.
