    Mad Monster style boxes for EMCE Creature, Bride, etc sized to slip in the liner tray

    Every so often I get a decent idea. When someone wanted Mad Monster style boxes for Creature and Bride, sizing had to be brought up. Those smaller solid boxes would not cut it for the EMCE creature and bride.

    So, in the end I thought "size them so you can slip that whole liner tray in the box' and that is what I did. I think that size is consistent with all the other monsters and can be used if someone wants Mummy, Frankenstein, etc.

    Of course we know that EMCE's figures don't have "eyes and hands that glow in the dark" but wanted to keep the vintage Mad Monster aesthetic and that blurb is a part of it. The Creature and side art came from what I already did for the Movie Monster boxes but I didn't do a Bride so I came up with something fresh for her. Some changes to both of these may still be pending.

          The beauty of these boxes is they fit right in line with the solid box Mad Monster series.
          If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                      Those turned out great, I love them!! You really do fantastic work!!

                      If I' m not mistaken, the Bride minus all of the really cool lightning effects is a painting by artist Daniel Horne? He does some really incredible work that would lend itself to some great packaging. He also sculpted some really amazing one of a kind figures.

                      Makes me wonder how cool some of those old Basil Golgos Famous Monsters covers would translate into cards or boxes. Has anyone tried that yet?

                          It was a painting I picked up on the web, must be from him. I did that for Creature too but the other cameos was combinations of different things including elements from Aurora models, action figures and the original Mad Monster art.

                              see, if the EMCE monsters came like that I would have kept the packaging. Great stuff.
