    So I finally picked up a Barnabas Collins

    VERY cool figure, except that one eyebrow is light on the paint, and he has some green tinted discoloration to his nose. Are they all like this, or did I just get a dud? If they all have noses like this, then I can live with it, but if I got a dud I'll shed a gothic tear.

    I know this line is currently on hold, but I really hope it continues. It is my favorite re-Mego line yet, along with Twilight Zone.

    Dud, I had one with a nose that wasn't painted on the tip.

      Wait, you are talking about the new 8" one right? Because mine doesn't have a painted nose, it is molded flesh.

        Mine has a slight discoloration, too. I figured it was due to a reaction with the bubble or something.

          It's been a long time since there was a good nose thread...

            They are incredibly well done and the detail is terrific. Hopefully with the new movie, it kickstarts some demand.

                Yeah I am hoping the film brings them back from the dead.

                I don't know if retailer orders were low or what, but when I was looking for a Barnabas, he was sold out pretty much everywhere, and I had to get one on eBay. The other two look easily obtainable though.

                Just please Spectre, release Dr. Hoffman last, if there are any that don't make it to retail, let it be her.

                What I would really like to see is Carolyn Stoddard, Maggie Evans and Angeligue in 60's attire.

                  Nose on mine is fine, no discoloration, and the eyebrows are perfect. I like the eyes & the teeth, the facial detail is great for this scale! (Except, Barnabas didn't actually have blue eyes, minor detail).

                  I will go on a harey-carey rampage if this line ceases after this initial wave, nobody in Collinsport will be safe!

                  Barnabas: "And me? Do you also hate me?"
                  Willie Loomis: "You know how I feel."
                  Barnabas: "Yes I do. Take care Willie, I can tolerate only so much opposition."
