It does look tiki like, but I think that's why I like it. Universal monsters and tiki fit pretty well so it seems.

I like the muted tone, but would love to see some garish paint apps on these guys.

yeah, i get what you mean. i guess i was expecting a cool, gangly frankensteins monster as opposed to this weird, squatty, alien arm thing. i too would like to see some garish paint on this toy, but ill probably be sitting out on all releases.

My initial reaction is that this Frankenstein Monster seems a bit cartoonish, or "Rat Finkish" so it does't seem to mesh well with all the other "B" movie monster styles in the series.

I'm sorry PK, you didn't answer in the form of a question so no points.

Nice catch! Knew it looked familiar. Very cool!

What's Garbage X based on? Is it a Madball like Argh and Lock X that I just can't ID?

Ah, yeah, I think so. I was thinking American junk, like the horror movies and Madballs, that I didn't even think about Japanese monsters, duh!

Dust-Garbage makes sense.

So good. I really like how it almost looks like the original. Very well sculpted!

I would love to see a swamp thing palette on this one.

If testicles grew eyeballs and a horn, that is what it would look like. Happy, angry monster cheery face morphed from two testicles.
I love it.

I feel this is suffering the same issue with the poorly proportioned body we are seeing on a lot of these recent two-headed figs. They need to retool to make a larger torso, not just add extra heads - at least I think it looks better with a bulky frame.

Could not agree more. Seems like there is some great detail on the heads but the bodies are just plain awkward. I for one am getting a bit tired of the two head/three head sculpts. They are cool and a lot of work goes into them but it's a little repetitive.
