So sad that they couldn't use Bela Lugosi's likeness for the Dracula figure. These are still pretty awesome, but not nearly as awesome as the Sideshow Universal Monsters from a few years back.

I know what you mean. When you think of characters like Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy and their ties to Universal, you think of Legosi, Karloff, Lon Chaney, etc. These are more like reinterpretations instead of the likenesses of the universal era characters.

that was what made him famous

^ Probably wanted too much money to use his likeness.
