    Drac's cape should be a bit longer. And while the Lugosi sculpt isn't dead on I'm still impressed and I'm definitely getting these

              Wow! Great duds on these guys. The mummy suit looks just like actual bandages. Drac's clothes are really well done, too. I'm definitely getting these.

                    These are just too detailed for my liking. They might be like Megos, but I don't feel they fit in well. Any comparison pics of the first two with other Mego/Mego-like figures? I really liked the Mad Monsters, which now seem impossible to find for some reason...

                      The one thing i would like to see changed is on the Dracula figure. I think the hand color should match his face color. It matches on Wolfman and Frankie, jsut a simple color adjustment and Drac would be perfect.

                        I agree Drac should match in skin tone, but its not a huge deal...maybe just give the production one gloved hands instead?...?

                        thats the only, and very minor, issue I see. these are incredible otherwise.

                          Awesome awesomeness!! I like very much. I am not even a monster fan, but I bought Frankie and Wolfie and they are top notch. I will be getting these as well. Two very minor nitpicks, The Mummy's head and hands seem too green, and I would like to see a longer cape on Dracula. (Perhaps these details will change before production? If not, they are like 90% to 99% perfect as is!)

                            I'm hoping he'll show up in 2012 with the Bride of Frankenstein...?

                              not meant to be lugosi likeness. generic dracula. lugosi likeness separate deal and no-one goes there when doing uni monsters these days.

                                pic came out greener than actual color, but uni style guide had a surprising emphasis on green earth tones.
