Rex Tremendae Majestatis
For many years I lived in a world where there was no ebay. where I couldn't open an account with paypal.
Those were dark, sad times, when I could only look on as others grabbed fantastic collectibles that were always out of reach for me.
Until one day, through simple chance I decided, hoping against hope, to try and open a paypal account again.
And lo and behold, it was done!
There were no restrictions on accounts from Colombia.
That very same day I began bidding.
Now I already both Phantoms of the Opera, have a London after Midnight on the way and god knows what else I'll be ordering!
Anyway, the regular Phantom arrived today (thanks Les!) and while a very nice figure, it just doesn't ooze coolness like the Mask of the Red Death version.
A lot of care and love was put into it, but the costume is a bit basic (shirt/vest combo) and it doesn't look that well tailored.
The sculpt is fantastic though, and the accessories really nice. The violin and bow would've benefited from a bit more work, but they look great.
All in all I'm very happy with my growing collection of Universal Monsters. It's a line I gave up early on to focus on my WWII collection and I feel lucky to be able to get the ones I really like.
Next on the list is Mr. Hyde and the ever elusive Creature.
Just wanted to share my monster love!
