Some of my classic monsters..

[Farid]

Hello all,
I am new to this board and I just wanted to stop by and say hi. I see some familar names here, so for those who know me.. Hey guys.. lol
I been collecting Horror for many years, but just recently started with more of the classic universal monsters. I don't have any toys at the moment; I mostly collect busts/masks.
I have a few pieces that I would like to share with all of you.

I hope you enjoy.

Hey Dino!

I'm still amazed by that Phantom.

Welcome Dino!

Holy mackeral!  That Karloffstein from BoF is perhaps the best likeness of that version of the character I have ever seen  -- and I have seen plenty!  Is it a Howard S. Studios bust??  Me wanty!!

[poseablemonster]

Dino!  Welcome to the group!  You have some incredible stuff, I LOVE your Pat Newman Don Post Glenn Strange Frankenstein mask...did Tony finish that for you?  It is amazing.

[Farid]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Yes, that's Howard's Frankie. Both Howard's and my Newman frankie were painted by Peter Murphy.

Se that, Thats what I'm talking about...NEW BLOOD!

Dino welcome. So happy to see you here.

[poseablemonster]

Ah, Peter Murphy finished the Newman Frank...Well, it looks great; he did an amazing job on it.
I'm happy to see some hardcore mask collectors in the group, we are really broadening our scope on all things "monster".

That's what I was thinking too! Incredible looking mask! Do I dare even call it a mask? Who made that? And .. oh .. welcome Dino to the UMA! Glad you enlisted in the army!

Terry, it's a bust from Howard S Studios.

I love the paint job on Dino's bust, and if I had one, something along those lines is what I would want, but there were a couple painted by Jeff Camp in Gogos style that just knock me out.

[ProfGriffin]

YIKES!

That Gogos Frankie is breathtaking. 

Thanks for the pics Dino...and welcome to the UMA!
That last pic of my boy, Kharis....man that's gorgeous.  And scary!

Tell me you wouldn't be frozen with fear if you saw that face climbing in your window in the dead of night...like poor Steve Banning...
(Fortunately for Kharis, MANY of his victims were frozen with fear...that was the only way he could catch them!   LOL)

Awesome pieces Dino!

[The Phantom Creep]

WOW!!

That Gogos Frankenstein is mind blowing!! I'm glad you put your thumb in the photo because I was having a hard time accepting that that was a bust and not a painting.

Those aren't my pics, and I hope the fellow who took them doesn't mind, I don't think he will, but it's one of the coolest paint jobs on a bust I've seen.  I still think if I ever get one of the Howard S busts I'll have it painted more like Dino's, but I love those pics.

That Nosferatu with hands in the plexi case is a Don Post special issue and is exceedingly rare.  The case was part of the package when it was sold originally.  I love how Dino dresses his busts and masks, putting authentic looking clothes and accessories to accentuate them.  He has some amazing stuff, but I think the Chris Lee Dracula is my favorite of all.  Just an incredible piece.
