    Igor! Gory, gory Transylvania!

    If you grew up in Canada, you know who this is. If you didn't, "Hilarious House of Frightenstein" was 1970s kid's show produced in Hamilton, ON that was pretty much rerun until the early 1990s.

    Of the many characters the most recognizable and beloved is Igor, the very put upon servant to the count played wonderfully by the late Fishka Rais. He didn't act much but he was a celebrated singer.



    Anyway, it's been a mad dream of mine to do every character in 8" Scale and luckily I had some help:

    Sculpt by Tyler Ham
    Paints and outfit by Martin @ Distinctive Dummies.





    I can't get jumpin' jack flash out of head now.

    I made a few extra and solid boxed Igor will be the exclusive at next weekend's Mego North show (just outside of where the series was filmed)

        I grew up in Canada, and watched this series in syndication. I loved hearing about your Monster Kids-related experiences and aspirations in your podcast, re: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHT1l_cXdEc . Man, so many details to which I could relate from my own history. Very cool. Happy for you some wishes do come true in customizing-land. Just Fantastic! Congrats.

                          Never saw the show, but the excellence and love of it shine through! Great figure! I like the eye paint the most.

                            That's looks great. I'm sure I would have loved the show when I was a kid.
