Christopher Lee would have been a great idea BEFORE he became big with LOTR and Star Wars. I'm sure that kicked up his licensing fees considerably. Of course they made an excellent version of him in 13 inch scale a few years back. To date, that is my all time favorite Dracula figure. It's Christopher Lee spot on.

If his mullet and Tom Selleck's mustache ever mated, the results would be catastrophic...Not that I know of, unless you consider Richard Dean Anderson's mullet a monster...Leave a comment:

Glasslite, gotcha. Famous for making TV tie-ins using Mego Dukes molds.
Did they make any other monsters?
I'm going to have to get me these new EMCE Monsters soon...

To the right is the Tomland Mini Monster, to the left is the Glasslite Dracula he was sold in Brazil.Leave a comment:

Hey Brian, what line is the small Dracula next to the Remco Mini-Monster from? I don't think I've ever seen him.
Generic Dracula Party!
Great shot!

I personally am not that picky given the wild variations in original scale Megos, but I think the issue for those that did care was that it doesn't really "fit" as well into the rest of the original or ReMego line-up since they have heads cast in "flesh" rather than painted.

Pardon my ignorance, but why was there fuss (for lack of a better word) about Star Trek re-Megos getting head-paint applications and yet I haven't read anyone citing this as a criticism about the Universal Monster line?Leave a comment:

Credits on Dracula and the Mummy
Sean Sansom did both head sculpts, Brian Leitner made Dracula's
suit and cape, everything else was done by EMCE.Leave a comment:

Lugosi died in 1956, if his likeness rights reside with his estate, they wouldn't go into public domain in the United States until 70 years later... so 2026? Note that the copyright act in Canada is still only 50 years. But other than printing public domain books it seems that not many people would bother trying given the limited marketplace up here, or even the deep pockets needed to win lawsuits.
I guess the main distinguishing features on a "generic" dracula from lugosi are a widow's peak and pointy ears?
