Agreed! The neutral sculpts are the best overall imo. On both figures! I can see why they kept them limited to the web exclusives, but on the other hand it's a shame that so few will have these amazing sculpts. Who knows if we will ever see these characters done to this level of love and passion again. Might be awhile.
I thought it was weird that the neutral sculpts weren't part of the standard sets. Usually it's the extreme or exceptional sculpts that are added in for exclusives. I don't like the angry Van Helsing sculpt at all, it looks a bit cartoonish, but the demon Dracula sculpt turned out pretty fine!
...but i won't have the figure itself until the end of month
From our pm, I assume you are only after the luxury pack exclusive with coffin, all packaged together, correct? I would say your best bet for that one is to get on Sideshow's waitlist. If you are just looking for Exclusive figures, individually packed.....Halloween is coming. People often buy stuff just to "flip it" in certain markets. Patience, my friend. You'll get them.
Yes, looking for the luxury 2 pack or the individual web exclusive for Dracula. My goal is to get the neutral expression Dracula portrait. I joined Sideshow's waitlist, but wondering what the chances are that someone will cancel at this point. I would think they're all sold through.
You'd be surprised. Until Sideshow changes that "waitlist" to "sold out", then it's possible it could convert. Barring that, I can say its a safe assessment that someone who "speculated" on the set( expecting it to be sought after by folks who hate pre-ordering) may have one for re-sale soon. Either here in these forums, or on a marketplace style site. Probably waiting til the beginnings of October, when folks thoughts turn to monsters. I think it will be easier for you to obtain than you think.
Can the KP alternate sculpt be used with the Star Ace body? What about the KP hands on the Star Ace body?
Great review even if ... Should have bought the web exclusiveMy deluxe and coffin arrived. I'm a tad disappointed that the coffin wasn't included with this version, as it was with both the Lugosi and Nosferatu deluxe sets. For me you just can't have old Drac without his home, and i feel a little cheated in having to fork out extra to buy one separately. Should have bought the web exclusive
The figure itself is very nice! Both head sculpts look terrific with decent paint apps. The hair/wig could have been painted a lot better though. STAR ACE did nicer paint work on their Scars of Dracula version from a few years back.
And i do wish KP had taken the same road as TRICK OR TREAT STUDIOS did with their figure, in having 1 neutral sculpt along side 1 toothy blood eyed sculpt. It would have been nice to have the two different sides of the character instead of two full on vampire looks. Should have bought the web exclusive
My main gripes are the inaccuracies of the costume. He wore a cravat and pin in the movie, and not a plain black tie.
Also the movie cape was made of only the one layer of fabric with no satin lining. A pity KP didn't follow the same path, as it would have draped a whole lot better.
Despite everything... Should have bought the web exclusive. I love it
