Same here. Back when I was a kid I didn't like them too much. Now I think they are pretty cool. Have all the PL reissues and ONE of these days will get around to building some. Robert T.

Just my opinion, but for me it seems about half of what Sideshow does disappoints me, execution-wise. And not necessarily limited to the monster stuff. Don't get me wrong- I think alot of their stuff is really good . Most of the earlier monster stuff, the 8" and 12" dolls were fine. A few issues here and there (like the Frankensteins), but overall good for the price. And then they got greedy. Blatent example- their 1956 Elvis Presley "premium" figure. Boy, did I have high hopes on that one. Absolutely horrible. Looks like they used the singing Elvis telephone as a model (but it looked much better). Too skinny, facial sculpt terrible. And overpriced to boot.Especially in the last few years, the prices have gotten out of line, and it seems the likenesses are crapshoots. If you're going to charge $350 for something, at least make it look good! And when they produce an exceptional looking figure, they limit it to 50 made...HUH? [example that comes quickly to mind- the Ardeth Bey bust and some of the James Bond stuff]. I'm sure there are alot of guys that think the same way about some of their more current creations- the ones that sell out in 3 hours.Not knocking anyone who enjoys their figures. I have the Dracula/Renfield "stairs" figure myself and like it plenty. It's just that over time, and overall as a company, they have disappointed me again and again, to the point where I really don't pay much attention to their new stuff anymore. I am of the mindset that just because it's a monster doesn't mean I'm going to buy it, particularly if I don't like it. Again, just one dog's opinion.
When I praise Sideshow I'm only referring to the 8" and 12" lines. Those are IMO the very best representations of the Uni monsters in toy form. While I do enjoy the premium format figures, the only reason I have them is because I got them all at cost. They are grossly over-priced indeed. I'm more wowed by high-quality sculpts than by sentimental or nostalgic considerations. I would buy all those amazing garage kits except for the fact that I have absolutely on modeler talent. That's why I settlle for the Sideshow high-end stuff. I did buy some incredible, built-up Bama Aurora art kits. Those are the best of the best (today's high-quality sculpts meet yesterday's aesthetics).
