Mego Universal Frankenstein : Mint Off Card- MegoMuseum

[RSS]

  Mint Off Card looks at the latest from Mego Corp in the form of the Universal Monsters Franakenstein figure, the very first 8″ Karloff based Frankenstein since the mid 1970s! It is the best Frankenstein figure of all time? YOU TELL US! I bought this at Entertainment Earth and they sponsor this channel https://www.entertainmentearth.com/s...2202116…

Perfectly executed Franky figure. Might be the best one ever made.

Wonderful head sculpt. I really appreciate these reviews.

I really like how the Universal Monsters Frankenstein turned out, neck-bolts and heeled boots, he will stand taller in the photos I will have to retake for future airings of Svengoolie. Just needs some touch up paint to really bring it to life.

Just picked this figure up today at ToyLanta.

Great review! I can't wait to get mine. I love the sculpt, the yellowish-green (which rides the line a bit for those who don't think the Monster should be green) and of course the return of the proper black outfit.

I appreciated the look at Sean Sansom's original clay sculpt as well. Just gorgeous.

Sean did a fantastic sculpt! It’s odd that someone questioned if it was repurposed, I heard someone say the same thing about the Phantom Red Death head that I did. It’s such a weird rumor to start.

When I’m working and you premier a video, I always try to drop whatever I’m doing and watch! Your videos are great!

Could not agree more with your sentiments Brian. While the AHI Frankenstein hits all the nostalgia buttons, this Frankenstein brings home all of the particulars I always wanted on ANY scale. The head sculpt is just SPOT ON. The heavy eyelids, gaunt face mixed with the insanely perfect skin tone is a real achievement in the Universal Monster catalog of merchandise. Plus removing the Herman Munster color guide on the clothes was a major win. Why any exec ever thought that was screen accurate for the movies needed their own brain replaced. Great video!

Another great review for another great figure!

I think this is the best Frankenstein figure in this scale so far. The sculpt is positively dead on and skin tone is perfectly unsettling, it has a menacing "ick" factor that just really works. Hat's off to Sean Sansom and Mego for raising the bar, yet again.

That said, I still love the first Frankenstein from Wave 2. It looks and feels like an "original" Mego to me, it has that 70's innocence and charm to it that's hard to replicate.

This latest version though, is an excellent horror figure and, IMO, surpasses the quality of NECA figures in this scale. My Sideshow Frankenstein figures are among my most cherished 12" figures of all time, and this new Mego version is right there with them. Just a monstrous example of perfection.

I have bought multiples of this figure, and can hardly wait for the Son of Frankenstein figures to arrive.

With all respect to AHI, Sean blew the doors off the jackpot out of the park and any other phrase that says he did an amazing job with this!!
