"Grandma got devoured by a zombie...shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve...you can say you don't believe in zombies, but bits of Grandma's brains are on his sleeve..."
Oh, wait...where was I...
Oh yeah, as of last night, I was able to finally assemble the entire creepy crew courtesy of Cast-a-way!!
Here's a nice group shot, and below is my review of each figure...
We'll start with the premiere figure in the line...ZOMBIE CLAUS! I gave this guy four stars...aside from a fantastic outfit, he comes with a TON of accessories including a sack of coal, shotgun, bunches of creepy little bugs and spiders, and even a wristwatch, for when he's gotta eat and run! He's a super fun figure, and you can just picture him gnawing on grandma's brains, and washing it all down with a delicious glass of LEG NOG. (sorry)
Next up is MR. HYDE! I really love this guy...he has a total Scooby Doo vibe going on. The headsculpt is great, and the outfit is top notch with quality sewing all around. No accessories for this guy though...I really think he could have used at least one beaker of monster juice, but I found a little piece of clear plastic tubing that works perfectly. I give him ***1/2 only because of the lack of accessories.
Next is THE INVISIBLE MAN! This is the best of the bunch IMO. We've got a terrific headsculpt, accented by a really complex expertly tailored outfit and nice accessories. The hat and glasses are removeable, and the gloved hands were a great touch. The trenchcoat even has a real metal belt buckle! Four stars for this guy!
Next up is THE ZOMBIE! This figure is the weakest of the bunch IMO. The outfit is nicely done, but lacks the wow factor of the others. Add to that the fact that he has no accessories and his headsculpt is a re-use, and he's just not quite the value of the others. It is worth noting that his jacket/shirt has sewn pockets on the front, but the same color of thread was used so they're practically invisible. A darker color of thread would have given his outfit a little more visual appeal. Three stars for the Zombie.
Finally, the HEADLESS HORSEMAN! Another great figure, although MOC collectors will want to take note...he comes packaged with his head off, because with it, he is too tall to fit inside the bubble. Another great headsculpt and outfit, and a nice sword accessory. I do wish the sword was made of a more rigid plastic though. Mine was really bent inside the package, but I'll try to straighten it out using hot water. ***1/2 for old pumpkin head.
All in all, a great series well worth picking up...if you can find them. With only 20 sets being offered at this time, it'll be tough, but not impossible. Cast-a-Way has done it again! Can't wait to see what's coming next.
