Kaustik Plastik Phantom of the Opera.

[Anton Phibes]

Another sure to be super nice (and super expensive) release by KP. Full reveal in March. I bought Bela. I bought Cushing and Lee. I cancelled on Nosfeartu. I would be down for a Wolfman. This will undoubtedly come with the organ I figure. Keep your eyes peeled.

This one sure is somethin'.

Not my photos of the monsters on display in the Kaustik Plastik / Infinite booth today at Spielwarenmesse, the Nuremberg Toy Fair - well, yesterday their time. 

Added three more of their promo shots.

I believe these pics will get a little larger if you click on them, and you can see Erik's face a bit better if you do. And these aren't hotlinked, so they should remain.

Or just look below.

it looks great. That being said, I doubt I can get it. Their figures are by no means cheap, and as wonderful as that organ base is, I don't have the room after doing this for over three decades. I may have to admire from afar.

[Doh!]

Looks awesome! But as Anton says, not free or easy to display. I have the Sideshow version from 20 years ago and this is the clear winner. But I'm holding out for their (probable) Frank and Wolfie figures. Possibly the Bride, if they continue the line.

Note that all 3 are mere speculation on my part.

These things always look great in promo pics, but production examples never quite look right.    For the price these things should be perfect.

[Anton Phibes]

Amazing looking.

If you had asked me 10 years ago whether we would ever see the 1/6th Sideshow Universal Monsters ever surpassed in their detail and presentation for the mass market, I would've told you that it was not possible. I would've been dead wrong. Kaustik Plastik/Infinite Statue have produced THE DEFINITIVE 1/6 Universal Monsters that are true works of art. I cannot wait to see what other characters they decide to tackle.

Yes, Joe. it's true. Their figures are lovely. I really wish I had the room and the the willpower to part with the funds they ask for them. Unfortunately I find it difficult to follow through.  I would cave in a heart beat for their rumored Wolfman though.

[Mike Scott]

What are these things selling for?

[Anton Phibes]

Dunno til March. Ain't cheap though.

What made the SS figures so great is what you got for the price.   No company will ever beat that. These are still completely out of reach for most collectors.

I did a little digging, and the Sideshow one actually came out in 1998... for $25 bucks! Even with inflation, that's only about $47 in today's dollars. Vintage review:

Yes, KP figures are "amazingly heavy" to quote one of the plantation hands from Son of Dracula. At least where their price is concerned. Chaney Phantom goes up for pre order in April. 3 Versions. Standard, Deluxe, Exclusive.




Exclusive version comes with a stone floor base with sculpted Persian rug, as well as a music stand a violin.


ALL SURE TO BE EXTREMELY PRICEY.
