      That figure is perfect. Thank you Brian. I am so excited about Mego having the Hammer license. Cushing Van Helsing, Dr. Frankenstein and Sherlock Holmes, Lee's Frankenstein Monster and Mummy, Ingrid Pitt's Carmilla, The Reptile, Raquel Welch from One Million Years B.C, Oliver Reed Werewolf and Martine Beswick Sister Hyde just to name a few I would love to see made.

        Nice review and good looking figure I think the regular shopper at Walmart's or where ever these will be sold will do a step back seeing Hammer Horror movie figures on the pegs and say cool!

            I don't mind saying with all sincerity, this figure is a dream come true. It's most definitely Lee's Dracula, but it's still very much a Mego figure! Congrats to everyone involved for knocking it out of the park. I wasn't aware Jason Young was designing some of these packages! I love the trees...that has to be Black Park, right next to Pinewood Studios, right? That park figured in nearly every Hammer film!

            Lee's Frankenstein Creature and Mummy are a must, as are Cushing as Van Hesling and Baron Frankenstein. Oliver Reed's Werewolf, the Reptile, and the Gorgon,please!!!

                His top doesn't look like it fits very well.

                      Wow! Excellent! I really hope this is the start of an entire line an not just a character randomly plucked out of thin air. For the love of God make Caroline Monroe!

                            I think this one falls in the same category as Red Death… outstanding choices by Mego as something many Mego and monsters collectors will want, an excellent head sculpt, but the soft goods have fallen off in these releases.

                            Maybe the Lugosi figures spoiled us, but I like the clothing to be not-so-throw-away. Lee's Dracula was a sharp dressed ghoul in a tailored suit and well fitting, stylized cape, so I can't help but want that too. Doesn't need to to be NECA quality, but something closer to the Lugosi and Phantom releases would be a better choice for these iconic characters.

                              "We dress our dollz!"

                              Can that be the next MM slogan?
