I won't buy this, because I have never been able to get past the cancellation of Mrs. Bates. But here it is for interested parties:

If you've forgotten about them (and how could you forget the sad fate of the Mrs. Bates?), it's the very first entry in a Google search of same.

Still so sad that Mother can't be in my collection...

I usually love clothes body/vinylhead dolls but this isn't doing it for me.  It looks nothing like Schreck or Kinski. Otherwise its nice.

Well that Nosferatu looks interesting.

They seem to have licensed other characters like Wednesday, Exorcist, so I'd like to see our monsters from them. 

I like the resin heads, hands, feet style, they could achieve more detailed, and accurate film looks.  Don't have any rag dolls of our monsters in my collection, these look promising.

I can't imagine Mezco dipping into Universal Monsters again for any products, particularly in this format given that Coffin Creeps continues to knock-them off without Universal bothering to police their IP.

Production items are rotocast vinyl.

Poor Mrs. Bates. Unkind. So unkind.

Perhaps not.  Seeing that Nosferatu doll from them had me hoping they could revive their Frankenstein Monstarz figure design from some yrs ago.  Using that design for head, hands, boots on these new rag dolls.

Following in Coffin Creeps tracks already with Nosferatu, that Frankenstein design was Karloffish, but more on a retro open style of the monster.  Uni Studios has literally killed the original monster, placing its dead corpse on view for all tour visitors, just to introduce their new redesigned, super hero/muscled monster.

So maybe Mezco could finally release him in rag doll form.

Monstarz is Amok Time's house brand, and their giant Frankenstein Monster was never released (nor were their Nosferatu and Metaluna Mutant. Only the Creature made it.).

Are you thinking of the giant Frankie that Mezco did bring to market?
