That would be my guess. $450-500.

Was this sculpted by Mike Hill ?

The portrait looks good, especially in the right and right three-quarter views, but I have a few concerns about the bust as a whole.
As it is now, the bust is barely as wide as the clavicle; Karloff wore a lot of padding under his jacket to bulk-up his narrow frame, and, IMHO, extending the sculpt out to the acromion (the top part of the shoulder), as on the Dracula bust, would make the piece more accurate and give it more presence. As a comparison, the shoulders on the Ardeth Bey bust appear to be about as narrow as the Monster's, but, it's in line with the physical characteristics of the character.
Extending the shoulders out would also give the lapels of his jacket something to rest on; From the pictures, they appear to be wider than the the shoulders, flapping in the breeze.
Anyway, I'll be ordering one on Tuesday, and, in the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures from the show floor!

I totally agree! The lapels look really weird, sticking out like that! I would rather they cut them off to match the bust line than to stick out. Also, it looks really top heavy in the QTVR; I hope the balance is good...

Yes. Its excellent...but the flying nun like lapels will be altered if SSC doesn't do it before production.

While I am still not crazy about the lower lapels on the jacket, this picture they don't look that...flying nunish. I can live with it. great sculpt. looks like mike Hill, but I'm probably wrong.

You said it, Evilface! I don't own any busts of any kind, but, I said to myself a long time ago if Sideshow ever produced a life-size bust of the one and only Frankenstein's Monster I would get it. And I will!
Thank you, Sideshow!
It's really getting hard not to re-order the Bride. It would be alot easier if I already had Frankie's PF (in color).
Good job on the QTVR-turned-GIF, Robodad!
