Four Horsemen Studios Figura Obscura Frankenstein's Creature Review and Images

It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce review!

This week, we're having a look at the Figura Obscura Frankenstein's Creature from the Four Horsemen Studios. Another banger of a figure for that line, which never ceases to amaze me. I love how they first tease the figure a few days before, letting our imagination run wild, before having the figure revealed via 'drops' (2 drops each time, to give more people the chance to get them). This one is a very accurate depiction of the character from Mary Shelley's novel, packed with accessories.







Frankenstein's Creature comes with 3 head sculpts, 4 hands, 4 feet (with and without boots), medical wrappings, soft good pants, a sleeveless duster coat, restraints for his hands and feet along with a ton of "diorama-style" accessories, such as a operating table, a side table, 3 jars of different sizes, with a couple of heads and a hand specimen to put inside, 3 books, an old timey electrical generator (Gramme machine), an old timey lithium battery and 3 cylinder containers (or lanterns). Not only is the figure great, but those accessories are awesome to populate your shelves and photos. It also comes with a backdrop which was part of the packaging, as the other Figura Obscura figures did, along with a booklet with excerpts from the book. I love all of that.

Backdrop and booklet

The Creature's looks is more accurate to the description in the book, with "yellow skin scarcely covering the work of muscles and arteries beneath". It is also called 'creature' and not 'monster', as it was in the book, in which he is an intelligent, articulate creature, rather than the dumb, child-like monster we're used to from Boris Karloff's interpretation, with flat top head and green skin. Although, I do see a tiny bit of Boris Karloff in the head sculpts, but it might just be me. I love the style with the long hair and coat, but this figure looks amazing in either attires, and the accessories compliment it greatly. Now, I just have to find space to display it all... Looking forward to the next Figura Obscura offering!
