Sideshow Collectibles Reveals a New Take on Frankenstein's Monster with New Statue
Sideshow Collectibles has revealed a new take on the tragic horror icon Frankenstein’s Monster. The figure is based on the character created by Mary Shelley and I love what they’ve done with the design.
Frankenstein’s Monster has been reimagined so many times over the years, but one of the most iconic designs is the one created for Boris Karloff in the classic 1931 Universal Monster film Frankenstein. This new statute definitely does something different and unique with the creature.
Here’s the description that was provided:
“All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things!”
Sideshow presents the Frankenstein’s Monster Statue, an original horror collectible inspired by the iconic literary figure and his visual legacy across the centuries.
First brought to life by the words of Mary Shelley, the creation known as Frankenstein’s Monster has taken on many forms throughout popular culture. Sideshow’s new depiction honors the creature’s horror roots and tragic nature in a melancholy cemetery scene. Frankenstein’s Monster lurches through the biting cold, crossing a snow-dusted grave where a lantern, shovel, and broken skull rest. The headstone bears an epitaph to Elizabeth Lavenza, the would-be bride of Victor Frankenstein and victim to the monster’s vengeance.
The Frankenstein’s Monster Statue measures 19” tall x 12” wide x 11.7” deep and is fully sculpted to capture all of the cadaverous detail of the hulking figure. Two large electrodes emerge from his back, which is cloaked in the pelt of a skinned black bear. Patchwork pants mirror the monster’s construction and silver staples hold his reanimated flesh together across every surface of his body. He is painted with a mixture of rotting yellows and irritated reds, emphasizing how Frankenstein’s creation straddles the line between life and death.
The Frankenstein’s Monster statue is currently up for pre-order for $580 dollars, so if you want one, and you’ve got the cash to buy it… enjoy!
