    Dr. Frankenstein figure?

    Any chance of seeing a Colin Clive Dr. Frankenstein figure? I think that would be super-sweet. It's alive...!

    Yes, but how many would we sell? I would love to make Frankenstein
    again - but with Karloff's head instead of Glenn Strange.

    Maybe the Doctor and Fritz in a 3 pack would make up for Frank
    only being a different head?

    How about selling a nicely sculpted head and package it with clothes as a custom kit? "Create your own mad scientist" set? The investment would be just for the head while I'm sure your existing stock would probably create the rest. Would that be an idea Doc?
    It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.

    ^^ that sounds awesome
    caveat - I would want to be paying for figures and not fancy packaging.

    Or howabout Colin Clive and the Bride sharing a wave?
    Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

    Brilliant! A roto cast Clive head, lab coat, pants shoes and DM body all as a kit. Only investment would be likness and head tooling. Based on the Universal Monster figure popularity, I would think an adiquit return on your investment would make this project a success.

    Great idea and a natural play of the CaZ kit. Instrument accessories would be a must (beakers, pliers, etc.)

    I'd be all over a Dr.Frankenstein figure or head and costume set or a 3-pack with Fritz and the monster or the Bride.

    I'd also buy a Lugosi-like Ygor or even a Dr. Pretorious (sic) from the Bride.

    That works great for me - but DST prefers complete figures instead of
    kits. Making the head, clothes, shoes individually costs more from
    a factory. You get a better price making the whole guy. The trick is
    to have them run out more pieces at the same time - but it confuses
    them.
