    Lon Chaney Sr

    I would love to see several of Lon Sr characters, not just Hunchback and Phantom.
    He was, after all, Man of a thousand faces.
    My dream line would be 5-6 of his different looks. Any hope?

    That would be cool.
    Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

      I don't know, but the Phantom and Quasimodo seem quite possible. London After Midnight would also be a great figure. I can't quite picture Mr. Wu or Paul Beaumont or Echo (in old-lady drag) having much shelf appeal. What characters were you considering?
      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

        It would be difficult to do in action figure form, but my favorite Chaney film was "the Penalty."

            Apart from the obvious, like London after Midnight, I really liked his look as Singapore Joe, Blind Pew, so many of them.
            I know they don't really spell "monster", but a lot of them were scary and odd enough to make an interesting figure.

            He played many disabled characters, often without legs, but I guess this would be a sensitive issue for a toy figure.

                  I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's
                  And his hair was perfect

                    I have no idea what that all means.

                      The 2:30 mark in this video should reveal all...
