      Did Clark Kent have socks? Suddenly I have to sit and sewn tiny little socks for the scary monsters!!!

      The Bride of Frankenstein didn't have any shoes but nobody minded that!

      Fine. I'll start including socks with every figure from now on. Happy?
      Yes. No self respecting patron of the fine arts like Erik would attend such a formal gathering as the Opera sockless.

        Forget the socks, give the Phantom underwear before it's too late!

          But not if EMCE releases another Creature, right?

            It was my one quibble with the figure, Dracula had socks. It bugs me when I can see that the Phantom is going Don Johnson style. It kind of cheeses an otherwise perfect figure. Like Drac and the Bride's lack of unique hands as the rest of the line had. Of course Clark Kent had no socks, it was a cheap little toy compared to the Universal line that was as close as Sideshow we will get in this scale.

                The Phantom needs boxers to finish off his detail. No briefs! Of course that could explain his expression if briefs were selected. But seriously Paul, you guys did a perfect job on this line. First class all the way. Not a thing to change on anything. I tip my hat to you sir.

                  my only complaint is Diamond killed this line.
                  EMCE Monsters were done perfectly.

                    My only complaint is Lugosi not playing nice with the licensing. It sucks to have a full roster of actors likenesses...Chaney Sr., Chaney Jr., Karloff, Strange, Lanchester, and then a generic Dracula.

                      yea, that was kind of a bummer, but that's their loss. Had they stepped up and played ball, the line would have been iconic instead of perfect lol

                        The lack of Lugosi likeness pushes all my monster kid buttons and I actually prefer generic Dracula, just like AHI, Mego, Remco and Lincoln did. I know i'm the exception, not the norm but I'm totally down with this.

                        Flatt World Draculas are abundant and cheap and fill any void in this line IMO.

                          You know, I like the "generic" looking Drac a lot. Kind of reminds me of old Famous Monsters covers.
                          The only thing I found slightly odd about him, was that the red fabric of the collar was on the outside, while the rest of the cape had the red on the inside.
                          But that's just a detail, EMCE Monsters still score 9.5/10 in my book.
