Check Out The New Universal Lifesize Frankenstein Bust for $450&500

I think those are metal side panels, so the bolts are in the metal, not in the Monster.

Count, I thought he was referring to the actual metal objects in the monster's neck, preferring that they be called electrodes.  But maybe I was mistaken.

I don't think it looks half bad, but I don't like the glowing eyes and the price is too high compared to comparable busts.

Errrrrrrrrrr.........NO.

If you want the folks at Factory to see (and perhaps even respond) to your comments, concerns, and critiques of the VFX 1:1 Frankenstein Maquette, there's a thread in Masks & Busts that they've been replying to.

Been there, done that when they displayed this before production to gauge the UMAs reaction....... Which was a resounding "meh".

I did mean the bolts in the side panels not the electrodes, but the point being, bolts - why? What has Frankie got to do with bolts, nails and screws?
I blame GROOVIE GOOLIES. Every time Frankie got hit by lightning, instant x-ray .. robot .. cogs.. bam !

I blame sculptor Douglas Hildebrandt for not coming up with more interesting side panels. He could've tied them into the front panel by having a few more switches, knobs, and other "greeblies."

I'm all for companies supporting the Uni monsters, but why is it always limited "Collectibles" of the same old crap.      THE WORLD DOES NOT NEED ANOTHER 31 KARLOFF FRANK BUST thats looks like the one before it and the one before it etc...

IMO a super collector doesn't buy "Instant Collectible" garbage like this.    They buy vintage, there is nothing impressive about a collection of easily obtainable , expensive collectibles.      Realism is fun sometimes, but i think most serious collectors, the real serious collectors not folks who just buy big expensive modern collectibles, want TOYS!!  And Fun stuff.   Stuff we'd buy as a kid.    With maybe a sprinkling of "Collectibles" that catch their eye.


I'm sick of PolyStone and Resin..Gimme Plastic and Vinyl!!

Personally, I'm sick of the retro-look kiddie stuff.What's the point of making modern toys that look like they're from another era? Kinda pretentious, if you ask me.  The reason toys didn't look realistic in the past is because they lacked the technology that we have today. If Sideshow quality figures existed when I was a kid, that's all I would have bought.

I like a bit of both. To me it's all about balance. I totally agree with Dr. Terror, does the world need yet another Karloff and Frankenstein bust? Especially an overpriced pieced one that I wouldn't give you 5 bucks for! I love vintage monster toys, I have a pretty large collection of them, and they are some of my favorite things to hunt down and collect. At the same time, I am also a huge fan and collector of new products from companies like Sideshow. I also have to agree with Mord, vintage monster toys look the way they did because of lacking technology and care int he world of toys and collectibles. For as much as I love the vintage stuff, I would be pretty bummed if I couldn't also get a really nice, realistic looking Creature statue, or Frankenstein figure, etc. I have to give Diamond Select some credit just for giving us some new collectible that aren't overdone like this Frankenstein bust. Albeit, Diamond isn't perfect (their paint jobs lack at times, etc.) but at least they are giving us things like a Julie Adams figure, and a Metaluna Mutant with an interociter, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from the Abbott and Costello film. I'll definitely be passing on this Frankenstein bust, but not because it is a new collectible, but just because it sucks. IMO the perfect collection has a good balance of new and old!

I don't either. I think it looks 3/4 bad.

I agree with CreatureRevenge, I would much rather have DST's $20 bust bank than this monstrosity (at any price).

[aura of foreboding]

I love that bank!  Can't wait to see it in person!

Definitely! It looks just as good, if not better, and is WAAAAAAYYYYY cheaper

And no goofy light up eyes!
