    Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein complete set!

    I think I have posted some of these figures before, but never the whole tableau together. And I don't think I have ever posted Bud and Lou together here before.

    The first figure I made in this set was "The Wolfman", with the later Bud Westmore/Kevan make-up. I made him in 2003. Then I did Dracula, then Glenn Strange Frankenstein in 2005. Bud and Lou were completed in late 2008, early 2009. All of the costuming was done by me, save for some of Dracula's clothes. The headsculpts were done by me, except Dracula which comes from Thomas Kuntz's kit "King of the Vampires." WolfMan was, I believe, a heavily altered, shrunken-down Remco Wolfman. The wooden crate was made by me, and I actually printed the lettering on the box.

    This is one of my favorite movies, and this set was a dream of customizing of mine for several years....

    On to the pics!















    I used a Mego Wolfman head to represent the wolfman mask worn by Lou in the movie.





    How did those non-custom monsters get in there?! Stop hogging the shot, you hams!













    I have nothing left to say, but "Chiiiick! CHIIIIIIIIICK!!"

    Thanks for looking!

          Fantastic. Love that Wolfman head, well, I live all of it. Like the choice of painting Glenn'S Frankie flesh colored.

            They look great all together like that. Such cinematic posing.

                          wow, customs like these keep raising the bar.
                          All I heard in my head as i looked at the pics was, ooOOOOOOhhhh Chic and Bela's unique dialect saying Wilber.
                          Great job. I'd love to have that display someday.

                            A fantastic job. This movie is a favorite in our house. My kids would love to have Chick and Wilbur to interact with their monsters!

                            Love that alternate Wolfman! You really captured that later look.
