    This seriously could be my first one.

    Looks great, though the head sculpt is a bit off to me as it's basically a rework of their old Nos. I'm sure they'll figure out a way to charge too much for it.

      Been wondering which body type they'll use for Nos as he looks great in the photos. Like many Mezco buyers, I'm hoping they'll move away from the Joker/Star Trek body buck and go with something more sturdy and with articulation comparable to their Sovereign Knight Batman.

        I can't believe this thing sold out. $169 for a six inch figure that doesn't even require a license?
        Jakk's Pacific made a Lugosi Dracula years ago the same size, with a diorama base, coffin, cloth cape, rats and a bat for $20.

        Good thing vampires hate daylight, cause Mezco can stick this where the sun don't shine! LOL

          Those were fantastic sets. Shame they never made it past series one. Jakks had amazing figures sets planned including Creature from the Black Lagoon and Invisible Man.
          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...

            Mezco is pricing their stuff out of the price range of a lot of people, and approaching Hot Toys prices, at half the size. I forked over the $125 for the Reeve Superman, but that's my favorite film, my favorite version of the character, etc. I don't have buyer's remorse, but I honestly feel slightly gouged.

            $80 a pop was more than enough to pay. Although they don't have cloth costumes, honestly the stuff Hasbro is doing in all it's 6" lines is beginning to approach the level of sculpt quality and articulation. And at $20 each, I can forgive the discrepancies.

              Wow that is a lot of dough for a six inch action figure.

                I hear ya. $125 is bad enough, that's why I can't believe Nosferatu is another $45 on top of that for a public domain character. Oh wait, they're throwing in a $5 t-shirt...whoopty doo!

                Hasbro is getting all my money this year...between G.I. Joe Classified and Transformers R.E.D.

                  A number of these Mezco 1:12 figures are rather fragile, but I've noticed an improvement in the past two or three years. I bought a cheaply priced used Ascending Knight Batman from a comic shop and the guy told me it was owned by a small child, hence the numerous fabric tears and bite marks on the head. The Ascending Knight body held up remarkably well and the follow-up Sovereign Knight Batman from last year was also very sturdy and has been reliable. If this new Nosferatu uses the Joker/Star Trek body buck, it could prove to be more delicate. However, the coffin with Nos is very enticing and the main reason I'll need one.
