It's such a great time to be a horror fan! Not only are so many classics getting Blu-ray and 4K UHD releases, but we're seeing a plethora of collectibles as well. Sideshow just announced two new premium format figures that shot up to the top of my wishlist: Van Helsing and Dracula figures inspired by 1958's Horror of Dracula!
Sideshowhas unveiled two stunning new additions to their Horror Collectibles line, drawing inspiration from Hammer Horror's Dracula (1958).
The stalwart and fearless Doctor Van Helsing (as portrayed by Peter Cushing) faces an otherworldly foe, in the form of Count Dracula (as portrayed by Sir Christopher Lee) in a timeless battle of good versus evil that became an instant classic within the horror genre.
The Dracula Premium Format Figuremeasures 22.25” tall, and stands on top of a stone-effect base bedecked with Gothic gargoyles. Sculpted with an incredibly detailed likeness of actor Sir Christopher Lee as the iconic and otherworldly Count, this statue's portrait features his piercing bloodshot eyes, shining fangs, a bloody mouth, and his signature slicked back hairstyle.
The Dracula Premium Format Figure is a mixed media horror collectible with a fully tailored fabric costume, consisting of a rich black suit jacket, pants, and a white collared dress shirt and necktie. His suave ensemble is finished with a black cloak with a striking red inner lining. The charming but nefarious Count also has sculpted dress shoes and a detailed replica of his signet ring on his left hand.
The Van Helsing Premium Format Figure measures 21.5” tall, and stands atop a gargoyle bedecked base. Sculpted with stunning likeness of actor Peter Cushing in one of his most iconic roles, this statue captures his character's determined and fearless expression as he summons his resolve and prepares to confront his nemesis, the fiendish Count Dracula.
The Van Helsing Premium Format Figureis a mixed media horror collectible with an exquisitely tailored fabric costume, consisting of a black suit jacket and suit pants along with a red vest, a white collared dress shirt, and a necktie. An elegant faux fur-trimmed coat completes the costume, while his leather-like gloves and black dress shoes are sculpted with extreme realism to complement the fabric elements. Armed with a crucifix in one hand and a hammer and stake in the other, Van Helsing has all the tools with which to face the dreaded vampire!
