    Brian, it was probably your Mummy then because I remember the person sharing the story had made it sound like it was a painstaking process and not some quick tailoring alteration. I blame my poor memory or my then mild, vested interest owning any EMCE Monsters at the time to properly to distinguish that yours wasn't an altered EMCE. Still, yours, of course, looks outstanding.

      My absolute favorite of the entire line was Lon Chaney's Phantom.

      If they were to do any more, the would have to include the Invisible Man, Lon Chaney's Hunchback, and then maybe one of the Mole People, the fourth would be a toss up as Jekyll & Hyde and the Fly were not Universal films. If they could go outside Universal, Jekyll & Hyde, the Fly, Nosferatu, and Lon Chaney's vampire from London After Midnight would be in the mix.

        Werewolf of London could be the fourth, or the Creature Walks Among Us.

            Still, my absolute favorite 8" line.
            The Phantom is just perfection.

              Thanks to fellow MM member Gary, I am a proud owner of the Creature From The Black Lagoon.
              I'm still on the hunt for a Frankenstein & Werewolf, I'm well aware of some options at 3x (and then some) the original retail cost, but I'm optimistic a better deal will come around eventually.
              Also, thanks to those participating within the thread for their commentary and pictures.

                I bought Frank and Wolfie on eBay today. Just concluding a note here in the event anyone would reach out about selling them. At this time I only need the Mutant and Phantom of the Opera to complete the excellent EMCE series.

                  Question for collectors: Did anyone make or buy a hat/mask to coincide with their retro cloth Phantom?
                  My only Remco figure I owned as a child was the Phantom and he had a mask.

                    Hmm. Try a hat and mask from FTC. I may just do that myself.
