Probably the licensing tacked on with it too.

So, just out of curiosity, what does the packaging for the vampire cloak and vampire medallion after market items look like?
For those interested in helping the cape sit more securely in place. Attach some small magnets underneath the collars of the jacket. I used some double sided tape to fix them in place.
Line-up the cape into position and place another couple of magnets underneath it's collar to hold it in place.

For me the biggest disappointment with the sculpts are the awful paint apps on the hair. The white highlights are way too garish looking, and are more akin to something you'd see on a small NECA figure.
I Re-drybrushed the hair on both the sculpts with more of a sombre looking grey colour. I also touched-up and re-worked the blood/fangs on the open mouth sculpt. I'm happy now
And initially i wasn't going to pick up the Cushing figure, but seeing that KP have a few pieces of the Web exclusive left, i pulled the trigger...Should have Van the man next week

^^^Hair repaint looks great. It’s such a weird thing for them to have an issue with on practically every release.

Well, that and their trousers. On Lugosi, lee and Cushing, the trousers are incorrect. They tailored them with belt loops. The clothing of the day doesn't have belt loops. Furthermore, if they went through the "trouble" of adding belt loops incorrectly....why the bloody blue blazes didn't they thread a friggin' belt through them,lol?

Great job on the hair paint touch up! I may have to do that as well. Just a simple dry brushing?For me the biggest disappointment with the sculpts are the awful paint apps on the hair. The white highlights are way too garish looking, and are more akin to something you'd see on a small NECA figure.

Value of this deluxe set—two figures with high quality tailoring, 3 sculpts each, and a full 1/6 coffin—is looking better and better recently. Really looking forward to what KP has cooking next, especially Reanimator!

I was able to get one of the last exclusive web Van Helsings.
Good paintjob on sculpts, not hot toys level but enough for me.
I love the candelabra, the hammer, stake, cross, gloves.
The coat material is very cool. To me the clothes look better in person than in the prototype.
I love it but a few things they should have changed:
-Magnet is not in the whole stand so sometimes poses are limited
-The system to close shirt, vest, coat .etc could be improved with magnets, not those click buttons that could easily break. The coat click- buttons are metal, but shirt vest are made from plastic.
-Lazy hair style, the third sculpt (neutral one) has the same as the open mouth one.
-No socks. Even some third party companies put them. Easy to do.
-The left hand does not hold the stake very well, you need something in there like the hammer or a material to fill the gap.
Dont get me wrong I am very happy with the purchase.
I couldnt get the exclusive Dracula with three sculpts,sold out, the neutral sculpt IMO is the coolest. Guess I will have to catch somewhere else the two sculpts version.
