Ok, thm, how much did you spend on the SS Mummy? That's a beautiful piece (along with their Ardeth Bey), and one of their rarest 12"ers.

You're not going to believe it. $125 plus about $10 for shipping. ;D

I went to Target today and found this on sale for 8 bucks and I don't own any of the Alien movies on DVD:

You can't hardly beat $2 per movie, when each is on it's own disc!

The Alien Quadrilogy was the last and the best of the Alien compilations on DVD. After that it was Alien Anthology on Blu-ray only.

Picked up some decals for my DD figures from a guy on sideshow freaks. Over the years bought quite a few from him.



Really like the way the Hammer logo came out

There's also THE HORROR PEOPLE (1976) by John Brosnan, which also features Lugosi and Price.

   


I now own this. This is my "latest get"...thank you Mike Scott, for identifying it! :) It's almost a year later...but I've finally got it! It turns out that the story I mentioned from the book, about a Lugosi fan, was told by Forrest J Ackerman himself!

I keep most of my stuff in boxes, including the sideshow 8 inch series. But if I see duplicates at a reasonable price, I'll pick it up so I can open one. Found the Mummy for $15. The box was beat up, but I bought it to open anyhow.

For their size, the 8 inch Sideshow Universal Monsters figure line are the most accurate figures that exist. Mummy looks to be in great condition.

Probably more vintage than modern. However, here is a custom Masters of the Universe Merman figure.

Got these Amok Time Saucer Men from ebay, they're pretty awesome! Now, here's a question...why is one of them always red? Is that the original colors of the masks?

  Really cool figures. What size are they?

My problem with the Amok Time "Saucer-Men" is that the proportions aren't correct.

Great figures. Don't worry about proportions. It would cost way too much to design a specific "little person" body for this one toy. They look fantastic as they are. To answer your question...the Saucermen were described as "the little green men" in the movie. The lobby cards & posters depicted them as green, also. Then behind the scenes photos (prominently displayed in an issue of "Filmfax" magazine), revealed the actual color of the masks to be reddish. I would have loved them to do one of the three in black & white.
