Baron Meinster 'Brides of Dracula' Megostyle Figure

[Mord]

You definitely nailed the schnozola. Nose is great. Eyes look cool too. I may end up getting this whole wave since I have secured a Meinster. I dont have any yetis in my set up yet.

Don't hesitate on this one, pal. I think a lot of non-Hammer people are interested in this guy, too. Instant sell out predicted.

[Anton Phibes]

I think so too. The headsculpt looks ooba dooba great.

That Yeti looks pretty good! He needs eyebrows. This is a photo collage posted on the Classic Horror Film Board:




You can see the eyebrows. They help give him that wise, old look.

The beard looks like it might be a little too mighty. It's fine the way it is, but a less mighty beard might look more like the screen creature.

I see you're leaving room for the bulky fur suit around the neck and under the chin. That's a good idea, so long as the head doesn't look like it is sticking up too high above the shoulders.

The only change that I think is important would be adding eyebrows. The sculpt does a good job of capturing the character. The nose looks good!

Remember, don't give him chest pieces!

Thank you.

As this came up earlier in this thread, and to save starting a new thread for now, hows this

That's terrific!!!!! I love it!

Way to go Martin!

I agree with Ray-- some wizened eyebrows and he will be perfect

[Count_Zirock]

I'd have to agree, the length of the beard could be cut back a bit and the eyebrows are a necessity for the likeness.

[Spock]

Going on this pic I think the beard is fine. He will be adding eyebrows tho

[Anton Phibes]

Since eyebrows are confirmed, I think its perfect. The only reason the beard looks so full is because he is presently nekkid. Once he gets his fur suit on, it will blend nicely.

[Anton Phibes]

Judging by the photos, there is a bit of a mixture to fur tones. Darkers and lights. but Ray and Matt are right. There arent any man boobies or tummies exposed. Its all hair, hair, and more hair.

Gotta survive those Himalayas. frost bitten nipples would be a royal pain, I'm sure.

Which is a win for Martin....less expense producing exposed mid rifts and boobs.

This wasn't a figure I had planned on buying. But seeing the amount of work going into it has sealed the deal. I definitely want one.

Esp. since I dont have Bigfoot or Yeti in my collection yet.

On those eyebrows: sculpt or wispy synthetic hair like you used for Funhouse Freak?

What film or TV show is this picture from?

[Mord]

 Am I the only one here that hasn't gotten his Meinster yet? I'm about to hurt the mailman.

It's a behind the scenes shot from Hammers Abominable Snowman

Which, I would imagine, is why you used it for reference. I was a bit confused by the query.

Ah.... It appeared as though it might be a still from the original broadcast of the story called the Creature , different make up was used on the snowmen

I'm really excited by this figure... It's been awhile since we had any real good cryptozoology figures... and the Hammer association puts it over the top for me.

I haven't actually even seen this since 1996 when I was in grad school... I remember liking it. I am afraid to re-watch it for fear of it not living up

Do yourself a favor and avoid re-watching it. Keep your fond memories intact.
