History is about to repeat itself: Sideshow and Universal Monsters Reuniting

[AndyFish]

Interestingly enough the website itself offered me the "Is it fully articulated?" question as ones I could ask the AI Chatbot-- who replied it was not listed that way.   I like the suit much better, there looks to be a bit of heft to the figure and I think the facial sculpts are very good.   The basic version only comes with a couple of extra hands and only the one head.   As pointed out above I'm also one of those collectors who seldom use an alternate head on a figure which means I have to keep the box which means another box in the basement which means another case of Mrs Fish asking me why we have all these empty boxes.

I was thinking he looks well fed.

I took the plunge on deluxe plus. I skipped the dungeon diorama thought. It'll be around should I want to get it, I'd imagine. If not, oh well. I aint made of money.

I skipped the dungeon diorama though.

Those are the kinds of things that make me want to buy the same figure again. 

If not, oh well. I aint made of money.

If you were, we'd call you Buck.

I'm just torn between this one and the Kaustic one...

Why be torn? Just get them both. That's probably what my obsessive compulsive self is going to do.

I would, but I have to be responsible.

Bah. Humbug. One will be released in a few months. The other not til 2027. Plenty of time to squeeze responsibility in there.

Obsessive compulsive would be buying all three editions from both companies for a whopping total of USD $2637.30, at today's exchange and minus taxes, tariffs, and shipping.

You fiend, you madman, don't put thoughts like that in my head!

Yep, thought the same.  This body would be great for the Bride monster.  Maybe they designed ahead, thinking of using the one body design for both.  Karloff being a little older, and more successful, hence the well fed Bride monster look.

Sideshow is notorious for body reuse according to online chatter. He's on the Clint Eastwood body type buck according to those commenting on the topic at SSF forums.

I went with the deluxe version.  I was tempted by the PF version, but glad I waited for this.  The sculpt and options look better to me and I just have more room for it.
