The Frankenstein one looks like the Factory bust- sans base. Even the eyes blink.

They were pretty widely available at both CVS and Target f I remember correctly, but just for Halloween and in the Halloween section. They may have had them at Toys R Us as well. I saw a lot of them on close out.

The Global releases (well, no releases) are a real shame. I think they tried twice to get large enough orders from retail to take the risk. Sure would like to know who sculpted those and if production molds were ever made.

Think they did, but limited? The year was 1999, I believe.

Here's a guy who was excited to get one and posted it to his site (bucket with tag)


Here's one that sold for $9.99 this year~


I don't care for the style too much. But Sideshow should get an "A" for at least making the effort.

I did see one of these some where once but it just didn't float my boat but a A for effort

Sadly, these never got produced:





Now this is a shame these are awesome and that wolfman is great I think I like him best.

I remember the Sideshow Frank head buckets in quite a few big chain stores in the midwest at Halloween, for a couple of years. 1999-2000 sounds good.

Like you, Richard, it's okaaaaaayyyy...but, well you know the rest.

Monsters For Sale



The winning bidder bid 7 times.

One of the other bidders bid 16 times!

Sellers love nutty bidding like that.  It always drives the price up to the highest possible result.

I actually thought it would surpass the thousand mark. I was going to bid $550 but the bidding got out of hand. Did anyone here get it?

16 bids and only a bronze medal and no bucket

I thought that one would top a grand, too.  It's hard to find a nice one like that.
