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.

Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
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.

Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
What's Garbage X based on? Is it a Madball like Argh and Lock X that I just can't ID?

Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
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.

Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
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.

Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
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.

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.
