Universal Monsters Series 2 Carded Images

Is this Dracula based on any of the Universal Studios incarnations, or is it supposed to be an all original sculpt? I like it, but like was stated above it doesn't bear a resemblance to any of the movie Draculas.

The Lugosi likeness is separate from the rest of the Universal stable license, and is a bit of a nightmare for toy companies to acquire. Thus this version of Dracula is an original sculpt based on the character, not the original actor. I have to say though, DST's version has really grown on me. He actually looks better in person than the promo pic on page 1. You can order the deluxe Frankenstein and Dracula now at Entertainment Earth (they also have deluxe refreshes of Mummy and Creature ftBL in stock). The standard TRU exclusive versions are popping up now (Frank & Drac are in stock at Toysrus.com...good luck finding the Bride!). Also I believe DST's Munsters figures arrive in specialty stores this week!
