The Mole People (1956) doesn't appear to be a horror masterpiece, according to the internet, but this action figure has an irresistible B-movie/bootleg quality. These window-boxed Mego Horror figures were sold at Walmart along with the Toxic Avenger, The Invisible Man, and Valak the Nun, among others.

While my Funko Primal Age Batcave isn't really the same scale as my 8" Mego figures, I've certainly got some mileage out of it this Halloween Season! The dungeon jail worked well with a variety of characters...

The Mole People was a Universal Picture property, part of the movie monster craze of the '50s and a cult favorite. While the idea of a group of subterranean people lost in time is interesting, I am mostly enamored by the creature design here, B-movie monster goodness boiled down to its very essence. With a character like this, who needs a backstory? Recommended!
