Snagged this lot of 5 Jack in the Box (and Burger King) figures off eBay... Only $12 with shipping... couldn't resist!

The wind up Mummy with his limp is great! I wasn't expecting that! I'm also surprised what a good Karloff likeness the Mummy and Frank have.  And the Wolfman still howls!

The Wolfman seems odd to me though. His paint application seems much more drab and dark than pictures I've seen.  Is this a different version? Does the lighter one howl?  The coloring looks too uniform to be a custom repaint.

Stay sick. Turn blue. Drop dead.

That is dark! Never saw one like that.

Good score. I think the Wolf Man originally had a blue shirt.

Look to me like some kid darkened Larry all over with a permanent marker.  That would account for not having a thicker coat of paint.

Its been re-painted, and a pretty good job of it too. Save the photo and then hit zoom. Details brought out quite nicely.

Yeah, looking at it closer, I think he - at the least - got a wash with a dark brown to darken him up.  I wouldn't have expected someone to put so much work into such a little guy.  But, it did come out excellent.  (He still needs a dusting...)

You've heard of people talking out of their ass. This Wolf Man howls out of his!  ;D

I always thought that speaker placement was strange. Wolf Man's ass?! Not his back.

Finally decided to start picking up the Sideshow figures. I managed to snag these off of Amazon for a good price and with Prime!

The boys around here call it "The Black Lagoon"; a paradise. Only they say nobody has ever come back to prove it.

Well.....at least the Wolf Man has holes to poop through, instead of pulling down his Wolf pants.

I don't remember those watches. Looks like it would be hard to get a sleeve over the Mummy.

Yeah, the Mummy watch is completely impractical. But I still love it. The packaging is dated 1995, and the only other one I can find any evidence of is Frankenstein.
