What color do you think they will make Frankenstein's monster ?
Because the green skin used in makeup at the time was a choice to play on the restrictions of black and white. It was to distinguish the monster from the rest of the cast by giving him a skin color captured as a ghostly white on film.
While it makes sense to make green figures for The creature of the black lagoon, it somehow doesn't make as much sense to release a green colored version of Frankenstein's monster.
It kind of works because green can look like a zombi-ish color but just imagine if he was yellow, or orangeIt wasn't intended to be seen like that.
That first image of the cg renders are in color, Frankie just looks monochrome because he's colored grey (you can see the red in his head wound). Personally I hope that's indicative of what color the figure will be, I'd even prefer the whole line be done in black and white. I've always been in the camp of preferring figures match the color that's on screen rather than the color of the actual props, but for these old pre-color films, a muted color scheme is often acceptable, too, and I wouldn't want Dracula to be the only one in color, so I'd accept a very pale yellow-green.
But I'd definitely prefer a color closer to Neca's than Mezco's.
that Dracula
