No fangs. In fact, Bela rarely showed his teeth, as they were discolored from cigar smoking.

Figure and the diorama[s?] look amazing, gonna be an excellent display for sureOh man, I'm screwed.
Yeah, As much as I love the diorama, its just far too large for me and isn't iconic enough, or versatile enough, to be worth the higher price and space eating.
Say in contrast to the Nosferatu crate, which is iconic of the film and character, and the doorway which is both iconic but also lacks the Nosferatu branding and isn't overscaled - making it a versatile piece of diorama that can be displayed with numerous characters. [I still regret not getting them]
Huh, first I've heard of them doing separate dioramas, wish they would do that retroactively for the Nosferatu crate and doorway

Well, the doorway diorama is even larger than the slab.
And they did it anyway..
As you mentioned before:
So it's still possible for the site-exclusive stuff to be shown later, I guess?
The white cloth cover is optional for display and very cheap. But it can be a cool accessory for the slab.
You don't have to cover the whole body or do as you want, the point is, it's cheap so would be cool if they include it.
I thought it would be cool to have the lab slab.. I would pick it over the doorway.

Since they went with the doorway and chair, I can see the lab table being saved as the big ticket accessory for the DX Bride. I can’t imagine what else they’d give her.
A sarcophagus is the obvious choice for The Mummy.

Her slab has a different design and size with the Frankenstein one though..
But yeah, she should come with the slab!
As for the mummy.. yep, couldn’t agree more.

Sarcophagus with the Mummy is a must-have.
I would argue its considerably more iconic and character-relevant to the figure and movie than say Frankensteins door/chair.

Personally, for the same amount of funds, and size, I think the terrace of the windmill would've been neat too.
Franks door and chair is less iconic than the table...so a bit shocked...
Unless they maybe saving it for the Doc himself?
I'm all in for whatever else the deluxe/web exclusive comes with. LOVE IT
I wonder has the head sculpt moveable eyes.

Movable eyes seems to be the new standard for them over multiple heads, if the Phantom and London after midnight are any indication.I'm all in for whatever else the deluxe/web exclusive comes with. LOVE IT

If they do The Wolfman, for the prices these things seem to be accelerating to, he better run the vacuum from time to time, rake leaves in the fall, shovel snow in the winter, etc lol. JK.
My relationship with this higher end stuff is weird. Because I guess I must be,lol.
I didn't hesitate to jump on their Vincent Price Exclusive statue.
I waffled, but ultimately caved (thank goodness!) on Exclusive Horror of Dracula
When they first offered Bela, all I saw was the price, so I checked out. Then one fell in my lap in my collecting adventures(Deluxe). I really love it (except the pants inaccuracy/belt thing, which drives my OCD up the wall. No desire for the EX base or tee shirt.
I usually stick to one type (all EX, all DX, etc.) But with these, I reckon I am all over the map. I sat Nossy out because I couldn't get the door. I am skipping London. on the fence about if I want to try for standard editions of Phantom and Frank, or just wait and see what Sideshow does.
I'm pretty sure my face is gonna melt off soon like this fella....

Nope. Unless someone clears the air on any potential lineage that could exist for Clive, his distinct likeness has been off limit. On official merch anyway. For fear of a lawsuit emerging.
That's true alright. But i'm wondering has Frankenstein got them, as there appears to be no access point to the eyes. The head and neck look to be all the one sculpt.
Maybe the back of the hair is removeable, akin to HT.

I suppose they could always do Cushing's Frankenstein, but In my head he is and will always be Hammer's Van Helsing.
I’ve always found that strange. If they were really determined they probably could have set some money aside as a standard likeness rights fee and used it if an heir finally emerged. They could maybe avoid the lawsuit with the excuse of not being able to locate them but ready to pay them their fee. I know copyrights expire around the 100 year mark but are likenesses similar? Would Clive become public domain soon and suddenly we see Dr. Frankenstein merch?
Although I think I’d like to see a Cushing Dr. Frankenstein at this point. I’d certainly be up for Clive though.
Heads are better imo bc you can build a second figure and/or have mouth expressions.
