 Yes, Martin didn't state it in the announcement but the card back says "#___ of 60".

Yes Meinster is 60. Not sure why MIM put 100. Meinster on the verge of being sold out so now worries on that. He does look awesome next to Van Helsing
Thanks for the info on the Snowman. Saved me making another booboo :) Now while the interest is here and as the movie was in B/W I am interested in what colour fur and flesh you would like to see him
Many thanks

Well, you really couldn't go wrong with gray, could you?

I was thinking off white with a very pale blue skintone, but above to all suggestions

Yeah, that sounds good!  I don't like the black and white figures as much...color is always good.
Mirabile dictu,don't you agree?

White fur and blue face would be too reminiscent of the Tomland Yeti.

I imagine him being grey, boring as that is. Brown fur would look too much like Bigfoot. Looking at the movie stills, I'm pretty sure the costumes did not have snow-white fur. The fur looks pretty dark.

A skin tone similar to the Mego Planet of the Apes Cornelius and Zera figures would work great. Kind of a dark tan.

As long as he has a little color in his face, he won't look "silver screen."

Check out the pics Horror Hunter posted on page two of this thread. The face is essential.

Very true the face is critical,

The Snowman had the look of a sad weary old soul ,  which fit perfectly with the story of them being intelligent and waiting for "their time" to inherit the earth after "homo vashen" the destroyer dies out

I agree... A brownish tan and gray fur with a little white highlights would be perfect

I want this figure NOW (impatient! Can't wait!)... :(

Meinster is one of the few Hammer figures I haven't made in 8" scale.

I wish Monster from Hell was coming out in 12" scale, as I already have an 8" one

 Beautiful! Can't wait to see what Martin does with his.

Bigger feet, hopefully.
I'll take him anyway he comes. I'm just glad someone cares enough to do this guy.

mjaycox

His feet are appropriately sized... They just look small because of the angle he's photographed at
