Kaustic Plastik/Infinite Statue 1:6 Lon Chaney’s Phantom of the Opera Figure.

Hmm, ordering the crypt base edition direct from IS with shipping to Asia plus tax will break my wallet. Seems like I'm gonna have to settle with the retailer deluxe edition.

Hopefully, they will add the mask as a surprise accessory!

I’m waiting to see if Sideshow will carry this as well. But the exclusive is a must. I will find space!

I wonder if the mask could have somehow fell into a license issue? Maybe Universal somehow has the rights to that prop? Did Chaney design the mask? If so, that probably would mean it belongs to the estate. Seems like a big omission if there wasn’t an issue including it. I’d personally have liked to have seen a masked head and separate loose mask accessory. I don’t imagine I’d be using the masked head often in a display but having the accessory to lay on the ground like Christine just dropped it would add some storytelling to the display.

Sideshow’s monsters and villains event starts tomorrow so I can’t see how we won’t see Erik showing up for that. Fingers crossed on that exclusive.

That’s exactly how I would display the mask. On the ground or on the steps.

There is presntly no deal in place between Universal and KP. They are trying though. Someone asked about Frankenstein on FB. This was there reply when asked "When?"

Good to know they are actively pursuing it. I can’t imagine the Universal Monsters are exactly a hot commodity right now and clearly KP is making some wonderful monster figures. Unless Universal has unreasonable terms or is trying to distance themselves from the original looks in favor of their new Epic Universe monsters redesigns I’m hopeful that something will materialize.

I hope part of that deal doesn't involve the removal of the "heir" monsters.

I imagine as a company, Universal might feel irked to have their monsters made and sold under the same company as the "rival" heir monsters, whom they are lost in the legal battle.

My hope is that these figures KP are producing will continue to be such good product that the licencers will have no choice but to give their blessing.

Amen to that!

Frankenstein's monster is my favorite Universal monster. I need him in KP quality!

So apparently the link yesterday was the test page looks I was the 1st to order according to KP.

Sadly they won't be including the mask due to cost, as it means a new mould and would cost too much. Shame but still an incredible piece!

custom mask it is!

They did say they could possibly offer a add on pack.

The accessory that’s missing (for me) is the mask. How can you release a Phantom figure without his mask? I’ll just give him the sideshow one I ‘spose.

I had the exact same thought. Maybe it’ll be a deluxe exclusive

I can't believe there's no masked sculpt (or mask) included, as it's an iconic part of the movie.

They must have sacrificed it for the moveable eye feature on the lone sculpt

It's entirely possible it may show up later, like the vampire medallion or red lined cloak.

Maybe...but i still find it baffling that it's not included. They're around long enough now to get it right.

I would have preferred two head sculpts...One with mask and hat.

What KP said about the mask on FB. I do hope they offer it.

Anyone received that medallion yet? I am still waiting for mine.

Well there's some hope i guess. Still very disappointing though.
