I'm fully poseable and have genuine hair (and I'm not talking about on my head!)

Body of a Boy, Mind of a Monster! Soul of an unearthly thing! Hips of a 70-year old!

You know if he was REALLY a teenage Frankenstein, he wouldn't have his own box. He would live in the upstairs portion of his parent's box.
here's some teaser photos of the Wolf Man. More pics when he is up on Ebay.

He's not just any Wolf Man. He's specifically the Wolf Man as he appeared in House of Frankenstein. Note the distinctive fur patterning and the fully poseable flat feet.

Really Nice. I love em. HHW
Wow, those are awesome! Great Job!

These are spectacular! The Teenage Frankenstein looks better than the Amok Time version. All three hit the spot. Everyone, this is a rare chance to own a Matt Jaycox piece. He doesn't sell his work often.
Thank you Matt for sacrificing your children to the UMA cause. I'm sure they will go to good homes.
Really great work, Matt! These should do real well for the group. Thanks for your superb work!
Fantastic workmanship. Thanks for the Preview...
Awesome work as usual.
Those are very cool, Matt. You have a lot of talent!
By the way, for anyone not interested in bidding, but still wanting to help out...is there also a way to directly donate money for the Toy Tour? And if so, who should we send it to?

Those are pretty cool boxes, too, Matt! Did you make those as well?
Stunning stunning work, Matt! Can't thank you enough for such a GENEROUS offer to benefit the expenses of the traveling UMA Toy museum. I know I'll be heavily in the mix to win these fabulous works of art!
Best always,

I make all my own boxes. They are very high resolution, have a gloss finish, and every effort is made to make them appear factory produced.
With regards to the figures. The amount of "me" in the head scultps varies. Sometmes I do 100% of the sculpt (as with Teen Frankie, and my Hammer Monsters, Christopher Lee etc), sometimes I modify existing heads (Raven Karloff is a modification of Sideshow's Son of FRakenstein head).
The clothes ae nearly always sewn by me (except in such circumsances as the Raven figure, where a CTVT tuxedo worked so beautifully, that I figured what was the point in sewing my own. Although I did tailor it differently)
Matt
Matt, your usual spot-on work.
Salut,
-Craig "proud Jaycox Original owner" W.
Thanks Jeff!

Thanks Jeff, I just sent you guys a donation. :) And one more quick question- Is there any way that I could get a UMA button with my name on it, for Wonderfest this year?
I really would like to see us do some buttons this year, even if they are not as slick as the ones we've done in the past. Just simple UMA badges would be cool. If we can individualize them with people's names, so much the better. Does anyone have the skills and equipment to do that?
Here's the link to the auction! The reserve is rather reasonable, I think. Good Luck everybody!
