Here is a 4" model of Glenn Strange as the Monster in ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN-

Now he does.

My 10-year old son was walking past the computer as I looked at this, and we both agree this is one awesome piece of art!!!

This is what DST should be putting out. Or license it to Hasbro, or some other small-scale figure manufacturer.

Mezco has already done some fantastic horror in this scale in their Cryptozoology, Hellboy, and Cinema of Fear lines, plus they obviously work with UM currently, a no brainer imo

DST has the rights to non-stylized versions of the UniMonsters. For Mezco to do this sort of product, they'd have to go through DST. DST either isn't interested in 3.75" scale, or Universal won't license that scale (my money's on the latter).

Herr Hussmann, would you consider making a custom one up for me on commision? I would like to own one that is exactly like the one that you did. It has long been my dream to own a collection of Glenn Strange Frank figures in a variety of different scales, with the Bud Westmore make-up design (as seen in A&C Meet Frank). I would be willing to pay a collector's price for the piece. Pretty please with sugar on top?

 I'm sorry, but these things take such a long time to make (no molds involved) and I just made this one and wouldn't want to do another one so soon. I'd sell this one, but then I wouldn't have it so it would be at a price that anyone in their right mind would consider ridiculously unreasonable.

Understood, Herr Hussmann. Regardless, its such a nice piece...an exquisite work of mighty fine craftmanship. My hat's off to you.

Might I be so bold to ask, what figure did you use for the base body? Or did you craft the body completely from scratch as well?
