Universal Monsters - Dracula Ultimate Figure Preview by NECA

[Harbinger]

Im not big on many of the old monsters but hot damn i want that. That sinister smile has me sold.

[kingkatt8z]

It looks amazing. I grew up with the Christopher Lee Dracula though. I hope they do Hammer House of horrors one day so I can get him.

[scarrviper]

Well my fears can be put to rest, he looks excellent. Spot on likeness.

[Augustus10]

Fantastic! I hope Creature of the Black Lagoon is next and we will have the monster A team complete!

[80sforged]

Looks great. Face sculpt will be so important for Bela's Dracula. Though will be holding out for the B&W version.

Hope they do some of the supporting characters. Dwight Fry headsculpts up the yin yang. Caught his cameo in 'The Invisible Man', while doing that Fathom event today.

[lordbest]

This is extremely tempting, kind of needs a Mina and Van Helsing to go with him though.
I wonder what the chances of NECA making a Countess Zaleska are.

Unlike The Curse of Frankenstein, I'm not a huge fan of The Horror of Dracula. Lee never once turns into a bat, wolf, or mist, and he hardly does anything the entire movie but stares at you. In some ways, I think Leslie Nelson was a better version in Brooks' parody film. Thankfully, Lee does hold a presence and Cushing is fantastic as always.

Of course, I'd probably still buy a Lee version if they ever do it because I'm getting this one too. It looks great. I would love it if NECA could also give us a Gary Oldman Dracula.

Neca announced that they have the Hammer license last October and I thought for sure they wouldve shown something during their October reveals. So unless they're saving it for the very last day, not sure what happened with that.

I just hope today they reveal 78 Michael.

Absolutely. Amazing sculpt.

Is this something that's already been rumored? I thought all the legal issues with that film are still preventing them from doing anything for it, hence them only doing figures from Halloween 2 instead. Or has the legal drama already been resolved? We've already gotten some nice Michael figures recently, so this will be underwhelming in my opinion. I'd rather get a young Laurie Strode figure instead of another minor variant of Michael. Or better yet, a 2-pack of him and her paired together, like the upcoming Loomis/Michael Halloween 2 set.

In any case, I'd prefer to FINALLY get a teaser of some kind for their plans for Hammer Horror for this final day of October. I've been impatiently waiting for a year now to find out if they'll be doing Hammer characters as plastic figures in the same scale as their Universal Monsters, or if we're getting cheap crappy MEGO style versions instead. Having watched some of the Hammer films again throughout this month, I'm dying to get a Peter Cushing Van Helsing or Dr. Franksenstein figure.

The orignal, 4, and 5 are now owned by Shout! Factory instead of Anchor Bay. It was Anchor Bay that was not allowing them to have those Halloween films, and NECA has done work with Shout! in the past.

[TadBitCurser]

Still don't get why neca continues to say when a figure is slated to release when they always miss it. Like this dude supposedly releasing early 2022. That's bs and they know it, it will probably hit stores late summer. 💩

[IzzyTipsy]

Not even a collector of the horror monsters but that has such an amazing, sinister face sculpt that I'm sold on it.

I'm thinking with the flashbacks in Kills we can finally get some more '78 Michael merchandise. The mask is close enough for most collectors.

Sadly that was not what we got last night. We got a "reveal" of random accessories to cap off this wet fart of a Halloween reveals month.

OOOO-WEEEEE, I would buy up Monster Squad interpretations of the monsters in a heart beat!

I don't know, those accessories seem to imply the Invisible Man, the Bride of Frankenstein, a Ralph TMNT monster figure,
