Son Of Frankenstein

Boris Karloff returns as the Frankenstein monster in Universal Pictures classic film Son Of Frankenstein.  This time he’s brought Basil Rathbone and Bela Lugosi along with him.

The Son Of Frankenstein figure from Sideshow Collectibles comes in a special box with a reproduction of the classic movie poster decorateing the front of the box.

The flip-lid box has information about the character and film on the inside flap and the figure (with accessories) is displayed behind a clear plastic panel in the main box.

The figure (with accessories) is secured in a form-fitted, clear plastic cocoon and small, clear plastic straps.  A cobblestone base with a foot heel insert is included

Frankenstein is his old green self with a flat top of black hair, a heavy, overhanging brow, deep-set, lifeless eyes, twin bolts protruding out both sides of his massive neck, large facial and hand stitches and deeply etched face.

Frankenstein comes dressed in a brown shirt and pants and wears a black fur vest stitched with heavy rawhide down the left side.  The pants are also heavily stitched down both legs.

The cloths fit loosely on the massive figure. There's no bunching or unsightly folds or unnatural wrinkles when the figure is posed.

The figure’s pre-positioned hands easily hold securely the various accessories that include the town’s head honcho’s mechanical right arm with its blue sleeve and black glove and a book of Fairy Tales bound is a large volume with text and illustrations on the cover and inside.

Coloration of the monster is perfect with variations of green to deepen and lighten the figure’s features.

Sculpt work is crisp, tight and looks exactly like Karloff as the monster.

Articulation is varied with hinge; swivel, ball and socket and twist points that make posing the figure look natural with or without the cobblestone base.

Overall it is an impressive figure that gives justice to the classic film.

Psalms 31:24 - Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
