ToTS Lee Dracula....surprisingly good

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

So, I was doing some trading at my local shop, and wound up with a Lee Dracula by ToTS. While I am sure everyone is more enamored with the KP one, this one is about half the price, and easily accessible.

The good: The head sculpts are well done. The paint on them is just about a match with my Grand Moff Tarkin Hot Toys head I used to bash a Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed figure some years ago. The jacket is well designed, if a bit thin, but hangs on the figure nicely. The shirt is ruffled, just as depicted in Dracula Prince of Darkness, so kudos to the production team there.

The bad: the body is too short, and the velvety material of the inner cape is not a good aesthetic. Looks too velveteen.

I put mine on a Coo Models 13 inch body, added some hot toys black ankle boots, and slapped an Executive Replicas cape on him. it's a nice bash.

Would love to see pics.

OK, I am not too hot with pics, but here goes. I will say, my picture taking skills are better than the shots they took for their catalogs though. Those pics don't look good at all. Couple of shots of face (since I assume that is the primary interest), and one with the Cushing bash I did from Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, using the Moff Tarkin head and hands from Hot Toys.

It's a nice alternative for people who either don't wish to spend the higher end srp of the KP ones, or (like me) simply refuse to jump through hoops and play games to purchase the top tier version. If I like something, money isn't an issue if I like it enough. However, if there is chasing and variants involved, it's a turn off. Same principle as dating,lol. Back in the day anyway. Been successfully married for 31 years.

Some more shots of the heads. Better lighting, and some actual photo taking skills might capture the likeness and paint apps better. These heads aren't altered. Straight from factory. For the price point, I am suitably impressed. Much like Loomis, the likeness and paints are great. The clothing design is great (Tinela). The bodies, and the thin weave of the tailoring are the weak spots. Yet for $199, which is about the cost of a decent night out with your significant other, it's a pretty decent shake.
