Neca’s attention to detail is pretty good so I would think Grey unless there is some mandate to make it red. Heck, I could see them making the cape red for a target exclusive too.I wonder what color they're going to use for the lining in Dracula's cape since they're using the 90's green shirt for Wolfman? Usually the inside of the cape is red in most of the promotional art, and that's how must of us remember Dracula, but in the film the lining was actually grey.
Something like this would be cool, even if it's not film accurate.
This is exactly what I will do as well. Swap the pieces about.
My guess...interference from the suits at Universal. To make it look like the style guide horse crap they constantly enforce on licensees. Google "Universal Wolfman Bloodlust" . It's a relatively new illustration/style guide look for Wolfman. It features a pasty face Wolfman, who looks nothing like Chaney. Chaney and Universal are fighting right now. NECA secured rights from both for this figure. Universal style guide enforcement to make it look look more like a generic character, and ruin a beautiful sculpt is probably something they would be involved in. THIS IS ALL CONJECTURE, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
