Frankenstein Bust & Mask Pics

[kolchak]

There's something off about this sculpt. It makes Karloff look too old, and the eyes seem set too close together. It's surprising, because Horne's sculpts are usually so spot-on.

Aren't all Horne's sculpts supposed to be caricatures rather than realistic? They all have that signature 'old man' look with the pursed lips, distorted features, etc. I prefer a less ironic interpretation of the classic monsters but that's just a matter of individual taste.

I always liked the Alvarez Deniro - there are cool hands that go with that one as well.

I've seen other Karloff Monsters by DH that were less distorted and more straightforward. Maybe those were the anomalies?

I hadn't realized that. The only pair I ever saw in person was this pair that was in an antique store in San Francisco. I think the figure is really among his best.

those were cast only half way to be made wearable.When the movie came out Henry did all the sculpts that were released through Morris costumes some were made to be worn.The figure I have is ALL custom.

These masks/busts and figures are insanely fantastic! I really couldn't breathe as I was slowly scrolling down the screen! Wow!! There are some amazing works of art out there, and I need to see as many as I can! Keep those photos coming....please! The Daniel Horne- Glenn Strange on page 1 is one of my favorite pieces to look at! There's something about the coloring and texture of the skin that is so beautiful! I really want to touch it!
And the Hulk Hogan concept Frankenstein appeals to my senses in a wonderful way    It is so wonderful and unique- I screamed aloud when I saw it!
Very Very nice collections, everyone! I can't believe that people actually own such treasures. I am in awe of all your glorious creations/collections!

I think DH has his own style.  He does do masks/ busts that are straightforward caricatures-----like his Alice Cooper-----and he did do a Glenn Strange Frank that was purposely done with oversized features as it was produced for a stage production (from what I'm told)----and the coloring on it is AWESOME, btw.  I think, though, he has plenty of masks/ busts that are his version (he IS an artist) of the subject and are meant to be of the non-caricature variety.  I like his stuff.

I like the finish on this one also - in Scott Solomon's collection:


Scott owns what is easily the best De Niro bust I've seen:



And Alvarez's best - this wax museum Frankenstein. Simply amazing:
