Little Big Heads


At one point in time Bobble Heads or in this case Little Big Heads were all the craze.

People could not get enough of the pint-sized figures that had heads the wobbled back and forth at the touch of a finger, jostling or while riding in a car.

While not as popular as they once were the figures are still collectible today.

Sideshow’s
Little Big Heads, Universal Studios Monsters, black and white, 15 figure set includes two Frankenstein figures, The Bride of Frankenstein, two Mummy figures, two Creatures, two Phantom, a Metaluna, the Hunchback, the Invisible Man, Dracula, the Wolfman and a Mole Man.

With so many figures I won’t go into to detail about each one.

All of the figures measure about 3-inches tall. All have heads that move and each are miniature masterpieces of sculpting, color application and craftsmanship.

While their bodies are diminutive their heads are slightly smaller than their 12-inch collectible figure cousins by Sideshow are.

Details are amazing with fully sculpted hands, cloths and accessories such knives, shackles, glasses and other accoutrements.

Check out the Creature’s claws, The Phantom’s miniature doll, The Metaluna’s massive pinchers or Frankenstein’s shackles and that’s just a few of the little extras Sideshow threw in with the figures.

All are painted in grays and blacks matching the look of the old black and white films.

The Silver Screen Edition box is long with a clear plastic viewing panel.

Each figure is cuddled in its protective niche and held in place bay a plastic wire strap.  

All the figures are mounted on circular bases with appropriate textures and dressings to match their respective films.

Pay particular attention to the clothing details with lifelike folds, creases and draping.  

The set is the perfect way to enjoy each figure in the series and makes for a fine display piece along other Sideshow’s Monsters of Universal Studios figures.
