Jeez, doesn’t anyone read the classics anymore? What famous literary character ended up running away to the polar regions? Frankenstein. (Okay it was the north pole not the south pole. But that’s poetic license.) And [the cost](http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Collectible-Minifigure-Monster-Frankenstein/dp/B004WM1ZBK) is not a deal breaker. ---
