What's the youtube channel I can watch these interviews?

I cant recall which channel, because I was just going down a rabbit hole that day. You know how youtube is. if you search NECA 2024 booth, there will be several pop up.

Picked up Christopher Lee's Dracula on sale, absolutely fantastic figure! All three heads look so good, it's hard to pick just one to use. I'm looking forward to adding Cushing's Van Helsing, I hope Reed's werewolf will be next.

That's one fugly looking figure. Wearing a slim fit coat shouldn't result in shoulder loss or prevent the arms from falling to the sides. The vest body looks a little better, but I want Van Helsing in his pimp coat! What's with those head sculpts? They look like the startled guy who gets unmasked at the end of a Scooby Doo cartoon. The sculpts are probably good, it's the eye painting that's making them look cartoonish. I just feel like I've seen better Cushing sculpts on various Star Wars Tarkin figures. NECA's Lee Dracula figure was pretty great - not the most accurate head sculpt on the neutral face, but the rest was great - so much that I bought two of them! Gotta have a good Van Helsing to fight one of those Draculas.

Sometimes these NECA figures just don't turn out well and this might be one of them. Okay, to be fair, I'll reserve some judgement since this is only one promo/proto pic. I should probably shut up because I'm still gonna buy this considering I've waited a couple of decades for my Hammer fix and now we're actually getting them in 1:6 and 1:12 scale. This Van Helsing isn't perfect but, you know... that'll do pig, that'll do.

Not a good sign.
