Wow, hey, I can get into these. Depends on the consistency and pricing, though. Problem with Universal Monsters is that the consistency sucks. You get like 3 good figures/busts and then the rest are junk. Example, you get a Frankenstein's Monster that looks just like Boris Karloff but then you get a Dracula that looks NOTHING like Bela Lugosi and a Wolfman that looks NOTHING like Lon Chaney Jr. I'd hate to fork over coin on a nice Frankenstein's Monster and Creature from the Black Lagoon and then have nothing else I want.

From what I understand, the Legosi estate refused to release the rights to his likeness for use as Dracula, which is why the DST figure looked so different.
