This is the test make-up done on Boris Karloff for the Monster in the original 1931 Frankenstein.
There is only one B&W still of this make-up and it was used as the basis for a color painting by James Bama for a 1967 Bantam paperback edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I bought that paperback then and I always wanted to capture this make-up in a bust.
Stands 6″ with the base. It comes in 4 pieces, bust, base and 2 bolts.
This 1/4 scale bust is solid resin, individually hand painted in B&W, signed and numbered and available only through me.
Also available as an unpainted kit. Released in 2018.
This bust is the 4th in my second series of Boris Karloff busts licensed by Karloff Enterprises.
