    Excellent job!

    I like every figure you did. Bud and Lou look just like those characters. Nicely done sculpts and outfits. Great execution. Drac and Franky/Strange are spot on. I too like the flesh tone selection for Franky. The crate is fantastic as well. But I'm so thrilled someone finally used that Remco head on a Mego custom. Perfect! To me, THAT is the Wolfman from Universal. Nicely done! A display worth being very proud of. Nice work!!

          Great customs and even better recreation of a fabulous scene from the film.

            The Remco head was the start of the source. Though it was altered quite a bit-- after shrinking it and recasting in resin, I resculpted the upper lip, nose, beefed up the cheeks, and resculpted the fur on the forehead and the back of the head... You are right-- for my money, amongst licensed toys, the Remco Wolfman is the best likeness ever done of Wolfie.

            Thanks for the praise fellas. You are the best!

                I have admired Dr. Jaycox's work for years. He keeps getting better and better. This set is perhaps his masterpiece. Even though we have seen Frankenstein, Dracula and Wolf Man represented as action figures many times, no mass-produced toys have captured the essence of the characters as sharply as these customs.

                    Of all the nice things people have said about my customs, this one pleases me the most. Making customs for me is about solidifying moments in my mind-- snapshots of memories or movies I loved, things I loved to read, things I wish had been made. I love it when my stuff inspires people to watch a movie again. Thanks so much you guys.

                          This is brilliant Matt. That movie is a Halloween tradition around these parts, I'd love to own this set.

                            Here is an alternate version I made for a good friend-- Frankenstein is now green. Lou now has the placard that explains the Frankenstein
