    While it's not something for me, I do love these figures because they make me think of Suncoast in the late 00s. Figures and merch for movies and franchises that I only vaguely knew from cultural osmosis. As much as I love all the pop culture stuff aimed directly at me, theres a charm to the "strangeness" of seeing stuff like these. Especially so well done.
    I really want to make a Universal Monsters style display but from all the off-brand types. Nosferatu, Shape Of water swamp monster, American werewolf, etc.

    I've been collecting NECA's Universal Monsters output since they announced them, and so far they're amazing. Sculpt is on point, articulation is great, actor likenesses are unrivaled, even the accessory packs are pretty nice. Drac might be my favorite (But recency bias may be in effect)
    Jada Toys has their own line but it's in another scale and the likenesses are more like generic versions of the characters ala Monster Squad (Save for Invisible Man, it's pretty spot on)
    EDIT: Fun fact: Bela Lugosi's second performance as Dracula was actually in Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein, almost 2 decades since the original film. He had other bit parts in the Universal Monsters legacy but was stuck doing B-pictures in the 40s

    Great review, Mr. Customs! My friend's birthday is coming up and he's a huge horror fan and collects horror figures. He's already got so many but I know he'd appreciate the OGs and I've had my eye on this Bela Lugosi Dracula for him and this review sealed it for me, so much thanks!

    I'm a horror fanatic, old and new stuff. Favorite era being the 70's
    So yeah been a big buyer of neca for a long time, since 03 at least.
    I love where they are at right now with all their lines and properties.
    If money and space was no issue I would have way more.
    Great review!

    I think these Universal Monsters figures are pretty cool. I look at them as reminders of the classics and introducing new generations to the genre and roots of modern horror films.

    Anthony, the big four were a must for me Dracula is the last. I have one of each. One is black and white the rest color paint applications..if I can the color version of Dracula but maybe the b &w. It's cape season Darwin is styling. Great review ✌️

      Actually Neca had already made a ultimate version last year. They made both a color as well as a black and white versions. It also has alternate head , hands and feet to look like the human likeness of actor Lon Chaney Jr.

    Great review!, and lol @Pet Bat comment, i don't think this incarnation of Dracula does, but other Draculas do.

  • @tomtudorweaver1078
    @tomtudorweaver1078 ปีที่แล้ว

    I grew up with the Universal monsters initially through cultural osmosis, seeing them pop up in cartoons or at Halloween, I saw pretty much all the films when I was maybe 8 or 9, but I never saw the original Dracula. To me I never found him interesting as a kid probably because he was the least outwardly monstrous, he was just a guy in a suit and cape with teeth who you could beat with garlic.
    It wasn't until I was slightly older and saw things like Christopher Lee's bloodier version of Dracula that I was won over to that character, so I've never really had any attachment to the original version, especially since upon finally seeing it the film itself doesn't really hold up.
    I've picked up all the other Neca figures from this line but I'm skipping this one, mainly since Neca announced they have the Hammer license so I'll hold out for Christopher Lee's Dracula.

  • @jeffmorris508

  • @lygonthereddragon

    I love the black and white classic monster movies. My favorite is the Boris Karloff Frankenstein. So seeing them in action figure form is a great idea. Im gonna buy.

  • @JerryGattz
    @JerryGattz ปีที่แล้ว

    I never noticed that you never really do review horror figures. Tons of NECA, but oddly enough, most of the NECA figures I have are horror characters. Or at least the best representation of a given character. Jason, from "Friday the 13th Part VII" is the coolest looking iteration of him, IMHO, so that is the one I have.
    I am not into the classic Monsters, but have thought about grabbing some to have a more complete collection of horror characters, just not sure if I should go with the color or black and white versions.

    • @AnthonysCustoms
      @AnthonysCustoms  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Black and white might match the films but realistic designs in black and white don't look great on a shelf imo.

    I need to measure and see how this scales next to NECA's Flash Gordon and Phantom.

    @tilmonr ปีที่แล้ว

    I got a question for the end of the year thing you and most reviews do. Could you add a top 5 category (or rank the toy makers you bought or reviewed this year) for each company? Something that bases each company on good, bad and horrible releases based on your ranking system throughout the year as an average.
