So eBay has got some of the Sideshow 8 inch Universal Line up for some good prices. I only own one which was the 31 Frankenstein from series 1. Do it's in debate between Bride, phantom. Either color or silver screen. Doesn't really matter. Not going to be consistent with the line.

I own all of them, and my vote is for the Phantom. Bride is a great figure, but the Phantom is awesome. Of the line, my favorite is either Invisible man, or Igor. Such a great line.

I cannot sadly [emoji38] one at a time.

Yeah I wanted too get more for sure and phantom did look the best because Matt falls sculpted him. Invisible man I was going to get but will wait a bit. Thanks for the help!

Decided to take a pic of one of my two favorite pieces in the collection. "The brain you stole, Fritz. Think of it. The brain of a dead man waiting to live again in a body I made with my own hands!"

That's a classic quote you posted. Probably THE most classic quote from the movie that everyone remembers.... "It's alive! It's Alive!! It's ALIVE!!!"

With the figures you have, you can recreate a lot of the Universal Classic Monster movie scenes.

You can even do a Monster Mash/Class Reunion pic with all of 'em.

Yes that would be sweet for sure! I have some ideas floating ahead. This is just the beginning.

Nice! That base is very cool too.
Why people won't make these things in 1/4 is beyond me.

It's a 1/4 scale kit which is cool. I just primed it in Grey. Will paint tomorrow probably.

Are you going to keep it at grayscale or color?
There's enough reference material out there to colorize it.
When looking at those reference pics, I noticed the clothes are different colors, but everyone seems to agree that the hat is a very dark red (burgundy). I guess those came in only one color in the 30's.

I was going to do color but since it was filmed in Black n White I will be painting it the way you see on film.
