    Classic Monsters

    If I'm making anyone repeat themselves, I apologize:

    Anyone know of anyone who does custom action figures (MEGO style or other) based on the classic monsters?

    I'm looking for Dracula in particular, but would eventually want a werewolf, mummy, Frankenstein, etc.


    Thanks for your time!

    Type 3 Toys sells them for a bit of change.

    I'd say within the last two months I've done custom Wolfman, Franky & Dracula. I converted old Imperial figures from the 80's into mego's. I just started the Creature last night. For the Mummy, I just bought an AHI figure.

    If you pm me your email, I'll email you a picture.

      I also did custom packaging of these guys I send you. You're welcome to use them. Not looking for any profit.

        I did these, but none of these heads are my own sculpt, so I can't make more.


        A couple of people have the sculpts you're looking for. John (Type3Toys) and Brian Leitner are two people you definitely need to talk to

            I did this Frankenstein using a 8" Sideshow Frankenstein head



            And used a Dracula head I got from someone else for this Dracula (pretty large picture)

                How did you do the wrappings on the Mummy? I hate the silkscreen look
                of MEGO but the AHI or Lincoln version seems like the wrappings were
                done over a naked body and glued on.

                  First I tore a couple of long strips of cotton and then I soaked them in coffee, to get that discoloured, dusty look. And then it's just a matter of wrapping them around the figure. Except for the ends of the strips, nothing else is glued on

                        The Reptile is the only scupt I ever did myself.
                        Matt Jaycox has done a kickass Reed werewolf, but he's also on my to do list

                          Yeah, I remember loving Matt's stuff, is he still around?

                          Dr. Phibes would be cool, too. I have the 12" fig & maybe could get some shrinks done...
