New Peter Cushing Van Helsing 12 " Custom Figure

[ILUVSkinner]

You've customized a Dracula? I'd like to see it. The old Product Enterprises one is solid, with a nice sculpt, but the head is too big, body is way too small and the clothing material could be nicer.

OK these are just quick snaps I did, and the camera is not too good but they should give an idea of how I customized this Dracula:

He has Sideshow hands on at the moment (so that he could hold the candlestick holder), but I did convert the Product Enterprise hands into Sideshow ones too. His head was perhaps the hardest to convert, but not too bad. Shoes might need a bit of tightening but they are OK so I might not bother.

Another Dracula is in the works (again a joint project with my brother):

This Dracula is based on the description of the book and Sir Christopher Lee's appearance in Jess Franco's 'Count Dracula':

He is not finished, as he needs a few touches up with paint and more accurate clothing pieces, but I am proud of the sculpting on the mustache as imperfect as it might be.

Now THAT is Dracula! The difference is night and day. Even the Franco one is great. Which body did you use?

Much thanks.

The older ''Art S. Buck'' Sideshow body was used - for the simply reason that it is the right height (especially when you add the P-E head and feet) and it is one I have a few of. The body is quite old now and not used by many customizers, but I have always liked it for its height and the look of its hands.

Hopefully I'll get a red-lined cloak too.

A few different stores carry these, but you can buy direct from

I believe they have free shipping anywhere in the world.

That Jess Franco Lee Dracula is rocking. Lee can sport the stache almost as good as Price. Just......Almost though.

Can you believe I found this diorama lying on a neighborhood curb?
