Mezco 1:12 collective Frankenstein's Monster

[IrishJedi]

I really hope this line is successful and they get around to doing my favorite Universal Monsters character, the criminal underrated & underappreciated Claude Rains Griffin (THE INVISIBLE MAN).

That should be easy, you'll just get an empty box!

I actually cancelled my just pre-order for this guy. At 6" tall, he'd be perfect for a diorama, but I don't ever see Mezco springing for a Victor Frankenstein to go with him, so my display options seem a bit limited. I'm kind of afraid I don't see this line taking off given the retail price point. Ironically, that's what's keeping me from wanting to go all in. I don't want to start collecting another line that's never going to be finished. I mean, they only got 3 of the stylized versions out before that line got the axe, and they were only $30.00. At $80.00 a pop, just how many of these can they sell?

If there were to be a companion piece to this figure it would be Colin Clive as Henry Frankenstein as the Monster is the version from the Universal movie.

My order will be in my hands soon. Not a lot on this guy but I definitely think for the price it should of came with more and the size but hopefully it'll change when I receive mine in hand. Pics and a review will be here. It's rare to get a brand new Universal Monsters figure these days. Well diamond but I don't collect those figures.

Mezco just announced a "Doorway environment" for the monster coming soon on Twitter.

The 'Doorway Announcement' made me grit my teeth. But only because it's a Mezco Store Exclusive. Is it really? I'm anxious to hear your thoughts, ApeManRyan.

 

[Rogerbee]

I still like it, and, funds permitting, I'll try and lay hands on one next week. Are stuff like environments store exclusives for their site!?

Hmm $160 isn't bad but not sure if I'll get it even though I want it lol. Debating if I'm going to get it or not but I did just receive my frank in today. Just got back from work and taking a quick look at him. Review coming tomorrow and hopefully some pics if time but my thoughts so far. AMAZING. Wow in person it's a whole other thing and super happy with him. I actually love the standard sculpt in hand. The proto sculpt just didn't look Karloff but in hand it does. It reminds me of the shot when you first see him turn around at the doorway. It's perfect. I love the snarl sculpt too. Paint is perfect and clothes are really good I do agree the pants run a little high but it's an easy fix. I do like the extras but it could of used a flower or brain jar or piece of wood or lab equipment but if the doorway is an accessory to get it's tempting. Size is actually good. Box is sweet. Overall it was worth the purchase I hope Mezco makes more of the classics. I'll keep collecting this line if they do.

The figure looks amazing but Mezco is kind of dropping he ball on this by announcing the castle entrance backdrop they had at the expos...for $100! I was thinking they would charge something like the Captain America or Armored bats $110 for the whole thing but $100 just for the backdrop or $160 for the figure and backdrop is NOT cool at all
That what the Batman Mutant Leader cost a year ago and that included 2 figures and a base
