    I think the chin is just fine for a younger Cushing. His features got much sharper as he got older, and frankly skeletal after his wife's death, when he was just basically working to stay alive, and temporary forget his grief.





    I am beyond excited for these Cushing figures! My favorite horror actor, hands down.

      Yes, a fabulous actor. In addition to being the definitive Baron Frankenstein/Van Helsing, he was also an excellent Sherlock Holmes. Loved the Hammer Hound of the Baskervilles. He also took on the role as Holmes in five episodes from the BBC 1968 TV series, with Nigel Stock as Dr. Watson, as well as the 1984 TV film, The Masks of Death, with John Mills as Dr. Watson.

            Just got my Van Helsing figure, and it’s my favorite figure so far. Head sculpt is great (maybe the best so far), paint apps are clean, soft goods are excellent, and just an all-around great figure. Homerun by Mego.

              It's killing me that I don't have my Van Helsing and Robin yet. I know that's not a real problem to complain about...but I REALLY want those two in particular!

                Who did you order from? I got mine from ZLC collectibles.

                Anyway, I feel your anguish on having to wait, but it'll all be worth it when he arrives. Just a really superb job by Mego.

                  Just got mine; he's great! Is the current Van Helsing the same as the next one, except for a different accessory?

                    I'm sure he'll have a different outfit, not just a new accessory.

                          I love my 'Hammer Van Helsing' Action Figure!

                            I would love to see a variant Cushing dressed as Sherlock Holmes from the Hammer version of Hound of the Baskervilles, I guess it would qualify? or maybe Cushing dressed in his safari clothes from the Mummy.
