    headsculpt looks great, costume doesn't really match the character from the film all that much, but he does scratch that generic monster itch for me so I will get him.

      !!! Oh the lovely strangeness of this this, Happy Haunts indeed! Thanks!

      The clothes are odd and really lack specificity, and it would have been great to have the staff included. However, the sculpt looks killer… gonna have fun customizing this one.

        Surprisingly generic, even for Mego Corp., but how can I not like this? I still do--happy Hallowe'en! Good sculpt and I'm glad to have it. Echoing Confessional, I will enjoy customizing it.

        I don't want to sound like an ***, but I could have given Mego some good, still-cost-effective costume ideas on this whilst still maintaining the "not more than three pieces" clothing rule that Mego seems to follow.

        Hyde and and this release have faltered in their clothing IMO.
        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.

            I should add on a positive note that I appreciate the head resembling the mask and not a more detailed skull. Which is not to say that Mego Corp. should not also do a Grim Reaper with it--glowing!

                I just hope they all don't end up with pink stained heads from the cloak or hat bleeding color.

                    I like the head sculpt, the hat and the suit. Not much caring for the cape but still a pretty cool figure. I will purchase him.

                        I'm pretty sure I've seen that outfit on some pimp in a 1970s blaxplotation movie.

                          looks sharp. the basic outfit might be workable for V uniforms

                            That’s one excellent looking new mego figure, great addition to the monsters series.
