I'm the oddball here (no news to most.)

I'd build it.  I just wouldn't paint it.

It would look cool among all the other Frankenstein figures.

I have actually been considering that too MFS. I think it would look really cool assembled and left in it's ghostly transparent green. I dunno what I'm going to do with it yet...

If you put it on one of those lighted bases they use for laser etched cubes, or just put a single Christmas mini-light behind it, it might look cool.

Maybe you could experiment with lighting while it is still in the bag, to see if that is something you'd like.

Use link a thinned elmers type cement if you do. The type car and plane builders use around glass (plastic glass that is) Regular model glue crazes the clear stuff.

[RedKing]

Thanx for the glue tip-I usually use super glue on all my kits, styrene, resin and vinyl alike. MFS-I LOVE the light idea! I have one from a similar sized Christmas knick knack that changes color(blue, red, green, etc) that would probably be awesome!

Most times you can't get missing puzzle pieces from other like puzzles; they seemed to be cut at random,

Oh yeah, I didn't think about. Well, back to my method.

[jimm]

Yes would be a miracle to have an exact matched piece, that puzzle is a beaut!

Red King,

I have a little information about the green translucent Frankenstein. It was a Wonderfest exclusive sold by Cortlandt Hull as a package deal if you bought a copy of his "Aurora Monsters" documentary upon its debut at Wonderfest. I'm pretty sure it's the exact same Frankenstein figure from the Moebius Monster Scenes series, but molded in translucent green plastic.

I work for Wonderfest and I bought one of them, which I put together. It's been sitting on my dresser drawers for several years. Cortlandt also gave out a signed mini poster of the 'Aurora Monsters" documentary with the package.

[RedKing]

Thanks Rod-I thought that was the story behind it. I love translucent figures(I have several Bandai special edition Godzillas and a DC Comics JLA animated series Martian Manhunter) so I think I might build him but not paint him, or at most give him a light drybrush to raise details, maybe with a light in him.

This sweet little kid's meal trick-or-treat bucket was given out by Hardee's Restaurant for Halloween in 1993. 

The belly of the bucket is 6½" wide x 6½" tall.  The upright bail stands another 3½', bring the overall height to 10".  The bucket is made of milky-white,  glow-in-the-dark plastic.  It was made by Berry Plastics of Evansville, Indiana.


Here are all sides of the bucket:











I know this may be too cartoony for some of you, but I think the Frankenstein (with electrodes in the proper place) and handsome little Dracula qualify it for inclusion.

(I posted this in 2 threads - If that is a no-no, I have no problem with a Moderator deleting this post.  I just wanted to show it off, and it seems like everyone looks here first.)

It's ok, some people like cartoony (not me, though).

I like some things, if they are not too cartoony.

It's OK if they are nice caricatures and not overly deformed and stylized.

[RedKing]

I like it MFS-very cool !

[Hepcat]

I like cartoony Halloween stuff such as jack-o-lanterns, cats, witches, ghosts, etc. Cartoony Universal monsters quite often have no appeal for me though. It's tough to explain but it really depends upon how it was done.

So in the bucket above, I really like the cat and jack-o-lantern, but the Frankenstein and Dracula renditions do nothing for me.

[Haunted hearse]

I think the Frankenstein Monster and Dracula definately qualify it, for being on this site, and I appreciate your posting the pictures.
