Dracula License?

[zeedox]

I don't see the Universal Monsters info on the great new Dracula?
Any chance this is licensed thru the Lugosi folks with the stage version etc?

Confused because i know more Monsters are on the way..

It does say Lugosi enterprises so maybe each is licensed as a character from each respective actor's estate

It's Lugosi as a generic Dracula. I suppose you could say it's a stage version, but it lacks details of that version, and it's modeled on the card photo which is from Mark of the Vampire. Because it's not licensed from Universal, the figure doesn't feature a red cape lining, medallion, or signet ring.

Valuable information, thanks! Interesting that the film pictured doesn't even feature the most famous undead count.

^It can't, it's a Lugosi product, not a licensed Universal Dracula product.

I hope they get more mileage out of the Lugosi agreement, would love to see Murder Legendre and Dr. Zorka Mego figures.

I like where Thunderbolt's going with this. If we get a Dr. Zorka, we best get his robot as well.

^^ That would be a great idea, then you get some Rob Zombie crossover appeal, too.

[Timothy2251]

Exactly my reasoning, Thunderbolt! Now e gotta get Marty and Doc working on a Rob Zombie Mego stat!

Ooh, I'm all in for Murder Legendre. White Zombie is a great knock-off horror movie.

It really would have fit in well with the Universal lineup, and added a different monster type with the zombies, too.

I would really love it if Mego could get a license for Vincent Price!

I would love a Vincent Price Mego. Make it so number one.

White Zombie is starting right now on TCM. Jeez, I like this film.
