That is, indeed, a custom Paula Dupree

First time I've seen a figure from that series! I don't think I've ever even seen a GK of it and they do everything! ;D

The only garage kit  I saw was done by Six Strings. It was around Aurora scale. No base as I remember, but it might've had one. Kit is probably rare these days as Six Strings is long gone. Your figure looks good Brick.

It's now standing room only at the Mad Monster Clubhouse!  :) :) :)

Now THAT's an awesome Monster clubhouse

Way cool.  Love Pretorius with the bottles of homunculi.

Did all of those extras (Dracula's coffin, Hunchback's bell, etc.) come with the figures?

Nope. Those are all extra accessories that I tracked down (and often painted, to mimic the look of classic Mego sets of the 1970's) that were the same scale as the figures. Some of it I scratch-built, as well. This was the playset that I always dreamed of, but never had as a kid.  ;)

So then I take it that the Mego figures from the 1970's were 1/9 scale.

???

Collecting! It's what I do!

Approximately. 9 x 8 inches = 72 inches or 6 feet average height. Admittedly, there are some monsters that are much taller than that.

You should add a Mego Catwoman or Batgirl so that you can use her as a victim:







I understand they're undressable so you can put the heroines in lingerie with their costumes lying ripped off on the floor.

I actually do want to get an inexpensive, generic Mego brunette (perhaps one of the Charmed figures), to double for Christine from Phantom & Esmeralda (or even Ilonka) & Ananka & Dr. Mornay from A & C meet F & even Vicky Lane or Amelita Ward from Jungle Captive. The trick will be finding suitable costumes, in that scale, so that I can photograph them. 12" Barbies definitely have a wider selection of outfits.
