Medicom’s Mickey Mouse as Frankenstein

Medicom Toys has had a Disney license for some time now, and for good reason. Not only are their releases spot on, but they throw in unexpected twists on beloved characters. Disney may not delve into our world often, but Medicom is making sure we get some killer collectibles.

Runaway Brain Mickey Mouse (top row pics): This has seen releases in the past, but now Medicom has pumped up the scale to 12 inches in length! That’s nearly double the previous scale. This is based on the Disney animated short of the same name and surely is the only time we see Mickey looking like he wants to eat Goofy. Available now.

Mickey as Teenage Frankenstein (bottom row pics): Mickey is reborn as THE MONSTER!! I don’t recall this ever being in a cartoon, but then again, Mickey never dressed in a Tron outfit either, and Medicom is doing that as well. If my maths are correct, this stands at about 5 and a half inches tall.

The upside is MILES of cool. The downside is Medicom releases tend to be a bit pricey. I’ve seen Runaway Brain Mickey listed for just under $200 dollars, which isn’t odd for those of us used to drooling after art figures, but the casual collector will surely wince in pain at the notion. If you really want them, just keep your eyes peeled. With the state of the economy, I see a new sales announcement every day so you are sure to find both pieces at a nice price eventually.
