I missed this first time around. Nice set of figures. My favourites are The Creature, The Mummy, The Mole Man, and Metaluna. I loved those movies!

thanks so much dude

That is a great collection!

I really like the small details that Sideshow did for those figures!

I see that TNShooter has resurrected a topic from nearly a decade ago... and one that I had definitely missed!  So much awesomeness in one collection!

I has no idea that a London After Midnight Lon Chaney figure had been produced! How cool is that!

If Brandon pops in to reply, I'd be curious to know if he still has most of these figures in his collection.

Definitely a worthy thread to re-boot!

Amazing collection Brandon! I thought I knew all the Sideshow Monsters but clearly I didn't. Wow, was Sideshow ever productive in the early years.

Thanks!

Thanks Daryl Yes, Sideshow had some of best sculpting and details ever IMO. I just fell in love with these guys way back in the day about 20 years ago already

Thanks dude

Yes SCU, I am replying, I can't believe that My topic has replies and talk about it after all of this time I had posted a lot of stuff that got little attention years back thus getting buried unfortunately. Is all anybody has to do really is just go to off topic and go to page 10 or so and walla, My stuff is there:)

Oh man, the LAM Vampire was one of the ones I fell in love with in the beginning and I had to start collecting these guys back in 2001 which was about 20 years ago this year and I collected them throughout the 2000s till Sideshow decided to end the line.

And yes, I still have ALL of them in storage, these are some of My most prized figures ever and I will never give them up

Indeed it is Thanks, yeah Sideshow made a ton of great stuff back then and original things too in the 2000s. They were arguably My fave company at the time for many years next to McFarlane, Playmates, Mattel and Hasbro. This was when companies weren't trending off of each other and things were more affordable. What I mean is Sideshow followed suit like everybody else and getting the same old licenses that everybody else has and has been done and already made dozens upon dozens of times like Star Wars, DC & Marvel and Disney and so much more so when Sideshow quit "being" the company that "made them Sideshow" because of their great original stuff and then became more like everybody else and making things so unaffordable thus losing My interest in them and collecting action figures as a whole. I think about this a lot and its really pathetic that most of every thing is the same and it's downright insanely priced, I just find it deplorable.

Thanks again

1 more thing about these. I have all the characters but not the variants. I regret not getting them in the past. Despite several versions of Frankenstein, he is the same monster just played by different actors. Originally The Creature was IMO at the time the only necessary one because he was so different but I did get The Mummy & Ardeth Bey because he was kinda like two different characters in the film so there's that.

As a side note, I do regret not getting the Twilight Zone and most of the classic 80s & 90s horror icons as well as some others

Yeah, 20 years is a long time. I had forgotten all about the Twilight Zone figures. At the time I was trying to keep down costs. Little did I know that the $35-$40 they were asking then would seem like a steal now.

These do crop up on eBay from time to time. I had completely given up on The Creature, but then found him on eBay for a reasonable price (don't remember exactly how much, but it wasn't too much) Also picked up the Hunchback for a reasonable cost and the Lon Chaney Jr. Frankenstein's Monster figure.

Still keeping my eyes open for the Mummy and the Bela as Frankenstein's monster figure...and Dwight Frye...etc...

Yes, I know, that is what I'm talking about. These guys were really cheap back (I really miss those times) then compared to this past decade/now. Same thing with the 80 & 90s priced figures (I really miss those times). How can anybody afford a small $25 Star Wars figure now and complete the series or a $150.00 + Sideshow figure or a $300 Hot Toys figure IMO It's insane

Cool that you got them, hopefully you can get the others that you need too as well. Thanks Gibri
