    Close Up...the 1979 Remco 9" Dracula MIB!

    This arrived today and has joined my ever growing vintage monster collection!

    It's hands down the nicest boxed example of this figure I've ever seen. I had to own it. Who needs food, right? LOL

          Nice! I always love the fact that they cribbed a Count Yorga pic for the box. Looks fantastic!

            Very nice pick up, and it's extra special with the original box, I had all 4 of these at one time, but not the
            Phantom or CFTBL, those must have been released later since they are not pictured on the box.

              Beautiful piece, Dwayne. Looks like they gave him Count Yorga's eyes, too.

                Very nice example!

                I had this one, Frank, Mummy, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon all boxed at one point.

                  You know, if you cover the mouth, you can see a bit of Frank Langella in there too. Especially the thick hair. I have to wonder if that's intentional, since these figures debuted shortly after the 1979 film.

                    ^Universal made Langella's Dracula as well, so it's very possible!

                      That's wonderful. Lovely condition. I don't dare buy something in such minty packages because eventually I would still have to open it.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
