Phantom- carded
Woohoo ! My WalMart came through for me today !
For the Monsters, I have been looking for the Phantom and the GITD Nosferatu.
Mego KO companies made Phantoms back in the day. But Mego never did.
Cool that they did now.
But the head sculpt is too good for Mego. Looks like it could be NECA.
They gave it limited paint apps to play down the detailed head sculpt, IMO...
The Headless Horseman looks great. But it looks like NECA to me.
There are so many talented people these days.
So I understand the urge to do the best design. With my dabbling in customs, I can't help but want to do the best detail I can, depending on the character. So I get it.
So I go back and forth based of on each character. If I would like them more detailed. Or more like some of the vintage Mego, where they took " liberties" in design. Because maybe they could not get copyright likeness and such.
Like vintage Mego Frankenstein does not look like Frank at all really. He looks inspired by Frankenstein .
Which seemed to inspire companies to KO the Mego style. And do the sort of in the realm of the character design KOs. That Mego sorted of started ...
Like companies AHI and Lincoln.
And Tomland. All of whoms' Famous Monsters look more like the FMs then Megos' vintage designs !
