First, thanks to Ben Rodman for supplying so many entries in this
set. I love the way all four of his entries potentially fit
together in a scene. This is my favorite of the bunch, so I'm
going to concentrate on it. These entries show a great deal of
character, albeit in a sort of Sunday morning cartoon sense. I
think this is what Ben's going for, so I hope he won't mind that
observation. This is going to be a fun mini to paint up,
although it will certainly require some previous research to
determine exactly how the Bride of Frankenstein appeared in
whatever classical horror film she figures in. Her dress,
lacking any detail, will require a masterful blending hand, and
her face will truly need to be the center of attention. If
there's anything I dislike about this set, it's the large scale.
These seem substantially larger than 28mm (even "heroic"
28mm), and it's hard to imagine how they would fit into any
existing game system.

The Bride
1.anatomy
first up another large mini.The arms appear too short for the
body but the face and attitude are excellent 2.pose
nice,the "I just got put together by a mad scientist "look
3.style
the exaggerated, cartoon look referred to in relation to the rest
of Bens set.I think this is the best of the four. good strong
modelling. 5.General comments
Huge figures thay are overscale and ok with each other but that
is it.I like this one the best and the attitude is like the
classic movies.

Another classical version. Going from the garage kits I've seen
of her she looks good this way. She is fairly emotionless, in
pose and face, which looks good on her. Hairdo looks quite good
with all the small curls. The drapery on the arms look good but
are a bit sharp on the nightdress.
