DRACULA #1 MEGO 2018, My thoughts

No fun and games on this site? Share, or else? Wow...

In all fairness to Dwayne, I don't think you read the original post before he edited it. The clamshell thing was just the tip of the iceberg. I agree with what he wrote, but I can also see why he edited it.

chill dudes, AC went out today, ugh

anyway, I take an exact o knife used for printing biz, and I make a small incision on the bottom of the clam.

don't cut into the glue area, but right above where the clam starts it's bump up. Very small at that.

follow the clam line to the left and to the right and you will see the clam able to break off the bubble.

carefully slip the figure out. I can do it so well not even visable to the naked eye.

always take figure out from the bottom , never the top.

I may have to get the glow-in-the-dark one. That's super awesome!

chill dudes,

Nice reveal. I was using an X-acto knife to extract my toys from blisters since the 80's.

I thought this had something to do with that "magic trick" all over Youtube of Hot Wheels collectors showing how they remove their cars with acetone or nail polish remover so they can make customs and place them back in the package.
Tip: It doesn't work if the back of the card is laminated printed. The acetone is applied to the back of the card and seeps through the cardboard until the glue releases. This takes seconds with acetone! A little longer with nail polish.

How does cutting the blister of the card, do no damage? Cutting blisters is nothing new.

Drac is back up on the site, for the moment

I finally ordered Drac! He's still in-stock as of 5:00 pm et. .

Those look pretty nice!

Can anyone attest to the quality?

Look at the pictures with figure compare. These are oversized, and have plenty of room.

A picture with Dracula makes it look small. Looks like the top of his head might rub the inside.

I think the Mummy picture is photoshopped. I don't think it's an accurate depiction.

If someone has him and some of the EMCE monsters to compare, do you think Drac's hands are the same as Phantom of the Opera's hands? I'm curious if they are the same hand sculpts. I'm really hoping Drac's whole body is pale, matching the hands and face.
