These are the coolest!  I especially like how Frankenstein's Monster has the Son of Frankenstein vest on.  Nice touch.

Yes, the Dracula comes with a goblet of blood as well, but I misplaced it.  The headsman made me think of Tower of London

I thought those were real until I read further.  I don't know much about Playmobil.  Those customs are great, especially the Creature and Mummy!

Thanks Ray! They were a LOT of fun to do.   The challenge is to render them to look as though they were actual Playmos, so if I fooled you at first, good!   Basically, I use Magic Sculpt to add details, etc. The hardest were the Creature with his fins (they're on his back and legs as well), and the Mummy with ALL those bandage lines which I drew with a rapidograph pen.

I also did a Playmobil-styled Hellboy based on the famous Bowen statue that I'll try to post later.
