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

No actors' estates with Karloff, either. His daughter sold the rights to his likeness in all of Universal's films to Universal. That's why he's on the "Universal Monsters" logo now.

Interesting! I didn't know that.  Too bad Lugosi Jr didn't do that. Haha

He really has no reason to, now that he has found a way to make money off of Dracula without Universal.  Still, it would be nice...  for the fans.  THE FANS, Mr. Lugosi.  The people who give you money.

You think at the very least he could negotiate with the manufacturers. Ultimate Warrior and WWE are on pretty terrible terms, yet he still had several Classic Superstars and Legends figures made because he was signed directly with Jakks and Mattel, respectively. Too bad he won't do something like that and cut out Universal if they bother him so much.

He does. That's how we ended up with BROADWAY'S DRACULA model kits, T-shirts, etc, and DST Dracula figures that look like crap! For some reason, he dealt with Sideshow and Universal. Once that license expired, all bets were off. He's only got another 12 years to milk his father's likeness, anyway, under the current laws.

Ugh. I really want an accurate DST Dracula :/

Honestly, as I don't collect much made after 1973, it would take something really over the top to get me to bite, and another Frankenstein bust just wouldn't do it, esp. at 500 bones. There are so many other monster characters that have never been done or done as a bust, esp. at a friendly price point; why not do them? [BTW, I love my Creature and Frankenstein Gravewalkers (good example of low price for the bang), and they are durable as hell. They are not the type of foam that just disintegrates.]

Again, so many characters that have never been done professionally- the manimals from Lost Souls, Mexican horror classic monsters (like The Brainiac, the Robles vampire, and the Aztec Mummy),  Kolchak, Rod Serling, Zombo, Count Yorga, the Columbia Werwolf, and on and on. You can only own *yawn* so many '31 Karloff Frankenstein busts.

I would love something with Serling, but his widow won't let it happen :/

Lugosi also dealt with Universal for the Neca Headknocker, the Jakks Pacific figure/dio, the Forever Collectibles bobble head, and the American Greetings talking ornament to name a few non-Sideshow items. Some were only a couple of years ago. Also, why does someone go on the "Modern Toys" section of this site to constantly state how they prefer the good old toys? After all, there is a "Vintage Toys" section.

That's... a really good question actually lol Who knows?

I suppose for the same reason someone goes to the Modern Toys section with no intention of buying anything. Because it's there.

You could buy this bust and put KISS makeup on it.  That'd be cool right?

I don't understand the comment about going on the "Modern Toys" section with no intention of buying. Seriously, what are you referring to.

I intend on buying stuff, but not EVERYTHING, so I don't get it either.

[Mord]

Yeah, I think it was intended as an insult but I don't understand. For an insult to work, it has to be understood by the insultee. Try again.
