Vintage MAGE Toys figure of "FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER"

[mjaycox]

Hello all,

Quick one today. This is a Mage figure I added to my collection (does anyone else collect these?) about ten years ago, but it has never received a hi-rez unveiling. Here she is: Frankenstein's Daughter in Mego scale:







Enjoy!

Magnificent as always!

With Frankenstein as your dad I bet you don't get a lot of dates.

Oops, I forgot! This is who she is: a grade Z schlocky horror film from the 50s

That's a beauty Matt, certainly not a movie that gets a ton of love.

Great representation of the source material Matt. Can't lose with monsters;-)

isn't the monster a dude? Great figure!!

As I understand it, this is the story behind that. They sold the movie on the basis of the poster and when they went to make it, they did indeed cast a man in the role. The make-up man made the monster make-up you see here.

The producer arrived on the set, and was aghast. "The monster is supposed to be a woman! Fix it!"

The ****ed off make up artist takes some lipstick, applies it to one half of the monster's face and says, "there ya go. Now she's a woman."

And there ya go.

I always thought the title referred to the actual girl in the movie as seen in the title sequence, and not the lumbering laboratory monster, a la Son of Frankenstein. Guess the producer didn't get it either.
