Could be a great figure, but I definately have to see pics first. I haven't been impressed with Amoktime's 1:6 stuff so far.

Ironman posted links to a pic in his Amok Time thread in the general section. Looked pretty good, but at the time I didn't realize who it was since there was no marker. But a good likeness and the suit he was wearing looked very well made.

Here ya go. Not a bad Vincent sticking his head out there as well.

ordered this guy as well!

I was surprised to see the Pit & the Pendulum statue -- it's from William Paquet's garage kit, and the paint looks very similar to the way Thad Rhodes did this one for me (Thad's photos, not mine):







The kit came in an earlier version with the cauldron perched atop a stone block. Thad dremeled a channel in the leg of the stool on mine and ran a wire into the base of the cauldron with an LED. The battery is in the bottom of the base, and he put a switch on the back of the base. It's completely invisible. I wonder if the statue will have the cauldron just sitting on the ground like in the AmokTime photo.

I was in for the AmokTime Karloff figure the day it went up. Whatever customizing it takes to bring him up to Sideshow quality, he'll be a great addition to my Sideshow vintage monster display. Or three additions. Three heads!

Anyone have a pick of the whole Boris Karloff figure????

So does this mean SS could not do any Uni Monsters with Karloffs likeness?

Sideshow can do Karloff in monster makeup but not out of makeup. I think.

Hope that helps.

uni monsters is a license, Boris's estate approves his likeness.... both are separerate things. When Sideshow did Frank, they had both...

That is what I was trying to say in my post above.

The headsculpt does look good, even if not thin enough. I'd be interested in seeing the other two headsculpts as well.

I ordered two of these, Does that shock any of you?

Photos of the Amok Time Karloff are up at the Amok Time site. The youngest of the three heads has different hair. Otherwise they just seem to be painted differently. Apparently some final approvals are still pending.

They are all different sculpts. But they are very subtle changes in each. Probably one original sculpt that got altered for each different age. Looks OK, but not great.

Yeah, kind of a so-so figure. Also, I guess just having a figure of an actor doesn't really interest me as much as having the Frankenstein or Mummy figure.

A Mask Of Fu Manchu, The Body Snatcher or The Black Cat would be other ideal iconic Karloff figures as I think most collectors would respond better to 'in character' representations then simply the man himself. A figure like this does open the door to kitbash possibilities for the more adventurous however.

I have requested The Body Snatcher from Amoktime already!
