Spectre Toys at the Burbank Fest

The redo certainly helped with the Adam figure.

[Charles_Ellis]

Adam needs an "Eve", and of course Carolyn!

[Nancy]

Man oh man are those ugly!

[ClaudeNorth]

The Julia doll looks more like Camille Paglia than Grayson Hall.  I was wondering if they were going to use rooted hair or molded plastic hair.  I guess her short 'do is a bit of a challenge, no matter what medium is used.

But, I agree -- Julia needs make-up, accessories, and either a dress or skirt suit with a lab coat over it.

My Werewolf Chris figure arrived this weekend, yay!

[Julia99]

Here, I gave her a bit of a makeover:

That's on the right path Sara!  Maybe a little less pinkish lips--and i always note grayson had polished nails, how the heck did Julia have the time for a full manicure?

[Annie]

Way cool!   Quentin does look like he had quite a rough night.!
                          Love   Anne

[Cousin_Barnabas]

Got my werewolf Chris.  He is really cool, but the box is out of this world!  What a dream come true.  I hope that they fix what needs to be fixed for Series 2, because these have potential. 

[PennyDreadful]

Got werewolf Chris too.  He looks really cool!

~Penny~

But how about a human Chris?  Show the guy some respect!

[The Doctor and K9]

Mine arrived the other day as well. If they could get the human likenesses as perfectly they'd be worth twice the cost.

I totally agree! I like Barnabas, but I didn't even buy the Angelique figure because it doesn't do Lara Parker justice.
I had some free time, so I did some photo-shop work on a photo of the figure to show how it could have looked better.
First, change the shape of the eyebrows. She looks worried or constipated.
Give her some false eyelashes and a little blue eyeshadow.
Put some lipstick on her and--Voila!
Don't you think she looks better?

[Willie Loomis]

I don't think i'd pay my money for any of those.  they are horrible.   

i've seen other "action" figures that are much much better likeness of the characters they are supposed to be.     

what's with Josette's LONG face?  (Josette walks into the Blue Whale and orders a beer. Bartender brings her the beer and says, "why the long face.....?"

simply horrid.

[Willie Loomis]

to further my rant, go on the Sprectre site.   Look at John Lennon, The Universal Monsters, Harry Potter and even the Boondock Saints are decent.   the Exorcist figures are good too.    okay.  my rant is over.

Definite improvement Ronny!
