i bid you welcome
hey guys we hope supersorrell thank you very much tune in
this is count dracula from the universal monsters line brought to us by jada toys now i got these
off of amazon of all places and they are available on there right now that's the only place i've seen
that actually have them in hand and i have got some pre-orders in that i will be selling on now
um but yeah i've got some pre-orders in with other companies that haven't arrived yet
um i saw these on amazon and i knew they were gonna arrive in time to be able to do
these videos for you and i wanted to feature them as a part of my 31 days of halloween
so i got them they are 24.99 each on amazon they're not cheap if you pre-order them though
they're about 21.99 each so there's a couple of quid off if you pre-order them each but
i had to bite the bullet and grab three of my favorites which was dracula frankenstein and bride
of frankenstein creature from the black lagoon i am currently waiting on him from my pre-orders
he's not one of my favorite characters sadly so i can hold off and wait for him with my pre-orders
but for now guys let's go ahead and break this bad guy out of the packaging so first of all this is
the jada toys line this is a brand new line and they are doing the universal monsters now i did
notice the other day that they are on i think it's wave three of the bendy figs now which means that
they've started to do um the mummy and wolfman and i think phantom of the opera got announced
this week as well so that holds that gives me high hopes that we might see a wave two of these
and hope you know hopefully get wolfman the mummy and that in this form as well
these are very similar to like marvel legends within with price and articulation and they do
come in a very similar style box as you can see it's got dracula ring on the front there in the
front with the universal monsters logo along the top there isn't actually a big overwhelming sign
that says jada toys which i like actually um you don't even know it's a jada toys product
until you turn it around and on the back there's a little little search icon which says jada toys
we have an artist rendering of dracula on the side and of course you can see all the other
characters that you can get in the back if you want to go back and check out our frankenstein
review we did do a review of him the other week so please do check out our frankenstein review
then on the other side it just has the universal monsters from this wave down the side
right let's go ahead and break dracula out of the packaging
you guys know that i had to get dracula i'm a big fan of drak he's one of my favorite
universal monsters of all time and i have to basically try and pick up one of every item of
dracula i can find so this is another dracula to add to my shelf all right here he is wow
that looks nice i love the fact that they come with these protective covers on as well which is
very nice so if i just snip this off because i've got some solitaire snip that is the one this side
yeah there's on this side too
snip that there oh wow we got one at the top as well they were making sure this guy wasn't
going anywhere fast all right pull that off and that reveals the figure inside so we do have an
alternate head here for dracula um we do have a bat which is very cool a candle accessory because
obviously in bellagos he's dracula he comes down the steps you know near the beginning and he
comes down to meet jonathan harker he's got that candle in his hand and i never drink quiet and
then of course he's got two alternate hands as well that are in more of a monster grabby hole
okay let's pop that back together can we do it no we can
there we go pop that back in the box
and send it back in
see ya all right so here is our new dracula out of the packaging loving the black and
red cape may i just say that first of all this figure screams vibes at me from monster party um
so nice it looks so good the legs are a little bit loose on this one um but what i love about
it is that cape is elasticated around his neck which is awesome so we can just remove that if
we want to which is awesome and it just fits the two little pegs on the back of his neck
so i'm going to remove that for now and we'll just be so i can look at the articulation in a little
bit more depth plus as well you don't always want the cape on sometimes in some scenes bellagos
he didn't always wear the long tape he sometimes took it off in favor of the jacket with the tails
as the which is nice and of course if there's that scene where he's walking across the bedroom
i love that the like i say the legs are bubbly on mine which is a bit of a pain
but the head's on the ball joints you can make him look up down left and right the arms do lift
up at this side hinge and do also rotate please be careful with your fingers always warm up
you can rotate it rotate the bicep and there is double elbow hinge elbows there
which is nice and the hands are on ball joints he currently comes with one a grabby style hand
and the other hand is in a bit more of a static sort of just regular hand pose which is nice
always be careful with your figures with the new the these these do feel very fragile which
i was worried i do worry about frankenstein was the same those elbow hinges feel very
well nice they feel very scarily like they're going to break on you there's there's no abdomen
crunch or anything there but the detailing on the tie and the medallion around his neck and stuff is
very good i love that and we can also move the legs outwards which is nice as well as forwards
backwards there's a top thigh cut there we do have double hinge knees and the feet are
on rocker and pivot as well so plenty of articulation we are definitely looking at
marvel legends style articulation on this figure which is nice and if you guys remember the last
time we got a marvel legends dracula this guy is leaps and bounds ahead of that one obviously
that was toy biz and it was a long long time ago i'm surprised marvel have never um redone
that line it may be due to licensing i'm not quite sure there might be some issues now obviously with
universal monsters with you know may have moved there then again no dracula appeared in the comic
book so i mean it's their version of dracula isn't it i'm not sure how licensing would work
but maybe maybe licensing is the issue and that's why we've never seen a recreate of those figures
but i have been using those marvel legends figures for years and it's only only by getting these that
i'm going to be replacing them so this dracula like say leaps and bounds ahead of the other one
so we can pop off the head there which also makes the cape easy to remove i'll
just remove that again for now and we can pop on the secondary head which is the second portrait
which just pops on very nice fits onto the neck lovely no issues there that's very nice i'm not
a fan of this one i will say i think the fines are too big it looks a bit like he's wearing falsies
my dentures don't quite fit me no they look a bit weird i'm not gonna lie i won't be using that head
sculpt except for maybe some action poses um it just looks a bit mental doesn't it so that head
will probably end up in the head box unless we use it for some action figure poses like
i said this is the one i like because it has a hint of bella lego see while not having his
complete likeness i think that's how they've done this it was the same with frankenstein
they kind of look like who they're meant to look like without saying who they are so i think
that's father for obviously for fees and licensing they couldn't actually make a bell lugosi figure
because they would owe likeness rights to bill lugosi's family so i think how they get around
that is by giving us a figure that looks a little bit like the lugosi whilst not having
his complete whiteness but you like from looking at that figure you know who that's meant to be
so the accessories that he comes with which is very cool as well we do get the bat accessory
um that can kind of claw fit onto the cape i think if you wanted it to there are some
little clips on the feet there oh yes there is there's like a little clip on the feet so
you could actually have it clipped onto the cape um if you wanted to and there is the little bat
my favorite of the accessories is this little candle
that famous scene in the movie where he carries the candle down the stairs to meet jonathan harker
good evening enter freely and of your own will and leave some of the happiness you bring i am
very cool figure what do you guys think of that one it's a great figure right and then the
secondary hands that he comes with i'm not gonna change them right now because i don't really need
to but yes you can use this hand which gives you that um sort of grab outward hand stretch which
to me is the kind of when he's walking across the room like i said he's doing them that's that kind
of hand for me and same with that one that the hands are identical they're just opposite casts
so guys without further ado let's head on down to the desk and to give you guys an up close personal
look at this dracula so let's head on down to the desk um so guys here is dracula out of the
packaging we are a little bit pushed for time at the time of recording i do apologize i'm normally
more organized than this and i wanted to get this review out for you on time so i'm just going to
quickly run over this on the desk cam for you as i said this figure is very well put together
i haven't found any paint issues with it i'm loving how it looks it definitely definitely is
a definitive dracula for me it's gonna take necker maybe making something for me to think otherwise
but right now this is definitely my new all-time favorite dracula figure it just looks so cool and
let me compare it to the marvel one for love of god please remember there's a good 20 years
between these figures coming out but are you ready to see marvel's version of dracula which by the
way looking at this now it is so old and warped but there is marvel's version of dracula which
admittedly the face glove still looks pretty good but the body's awful so i'd be lucky i'm gonna be
looking to see if i can remove the head on this one and get that off because the head itself
isn't too bad on the marvel legends one it's just old now so if you were looking for a more
definitive dracula for maybe a marvel collection maybe maybe you're thinking of
you know because you've got shikla now we've got deadpool obviously there's that whole comic
where schickler marries dracula and maybe you're looking to put you know like vampire jubilees to
fun display so this would be a good go-to dracula i would have thought maybe if we can get this
head sculpt off of it onto that body we might be on to a winner guys but what do you guys think
by the way this is that secondary head sculpt oh my god look at the size of those teeth
