    Revealed at MegoMeet - Hunchback & Phantom of the Opera!

    At MegoMeet, Dave and Jason revealed the next upcoming 8-inch limited monsters from Cast-A-Way... The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and The Phantom of the Opera!





    Phantom's funky face coloration is a nod to the AHI/Tomland monsters. If I understood Dave properly, these guys should be out this summer, as part of their ongoing Creepy Classics line. I'm not certain if these names I've used here will be their release names.

    I'm really looking forward to both! Although I might repaint Phantom's head. I wonder how a hunch could be added to Quasimodo?

        That paint scheme on the Phantom makes him look more like a Zombie to me.

            Rotocast heads? Loving the outfits but I'm not too keen on Phantom's purple face.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              The paint is a little psychedelic, but great figures...

                Resin, like their other Monster figures.

                I like Phantom's head, and the color concept, but it's a little to... extreme for my tastes. I'll be inclined to paint him a pale, unhealthy flesh - maybe with a hint of purple 'bruising' or something icky. And steely silver hair.

                Gotta save my pennies!

                  By way of reference, here's the Lincoln PHANTOM that inspired CAWT's purple face (as photographed by our own Palitoy...)

                            The purple is a little too dark. Perhaps a Lavender or Fuscia would be better?

                              If they loosened the Phantom's cape just one button more, he wouldn't look this purple. He just needs to catch his breath!

                              If the color scheme would be toned down just a bit, I'd definitely want one...
