Having the original box added a LOT to that.

But, yeah!

Oh yeah! The box was the key there.

Fortunately though the Frankenstein Head is not on my want list so that's money I'll never "need" to spend.

 The price isn't going down anytime soon. Unfortunately, it is on my want list (even the repros are expensive now).

He has one of his HORRORSCOPE repros on that is bid up to $600+.

That's insane! I guess there's no denying that there's still interest in the Universal Monsters. Maybe less fans than other franchises, but more passion.

Question: do any of these Frank speakers still work? Would be great to have one I could play my horror records on. And that factor probably triples the price.

$4650.00!! That's Bats**t crazy!  You gotta have money to burn to spend that kind of dough on a plastic Frankie head! Oh, that's right, it has a speaker in it. 

[Anton Phibes]

Thats as much as I put down on my house when I bought it. Thats 9 times what I paid for my first beater car. I dont care how much money I had......I just couldnt do it. Kudos to those who can. I just couldnt. I wouldnt be able to sleep at night,lol.

I assume most of them do. No reason why they shouldn't, unless somebody ripped the cord out.

Considering a head speaker went for $250-$500 20-25 years ago, A) It was a good investment and B) considering the rarity and when compared to other vintage collectibles (like million dollar comic books) still a bargain. People complained back when a head speaker was $250-$500, and a bucket head was $50-$150.

Repros, too? Yikes!!!

Same here. Some of these ultra expensive items I never had or even knew about when I was a kid. I would like to have an original speaker head, Mad, Mad, Scientist Lab, and certain other abundantly priced monster items, but I couldn't (and wouldn't) spend anywhere near what some of those things fetch.

The most baffling thing is perceived value on REPROS of some of those items. Screw that noise.

Yeah...I don't get that at all.
