I am glad I am not the only weirdo here who thought the shoes looked off.   :laugh: 

And while she is no 1920s victim, I feel it works as a mix of 70s and 30s horror.

Looks really good! The flame looks realistic. What paint did you use?

Man just when I decided to go ahead and get the Standard Lugosi/Dracula Broadway kit do they come out with a Yagher sculpted Drac Delixe kit...Where did you find this out about the Deluxe Dracula kit was it on Moebius's website? I've got the Bride of Frankenstein kit pre-ordered and it should be out by the end of May I hope.

The following information is off the clubhouse modeling board:

"The model was painted by David Fisher, The sculpt was done by Jeff Yagher (Dracula head) and Adam Dougherty (the rest). It will be sold for $49.99 (SRP). It is due sometime later this year, but a message from Moebius on Facebook warned that the kit was taking a lot longer than planned."
Any other questions?

This is definitely the one I want...I don't care if she has flip-flops on...LOL.

This and The Bride two-figure kit are "must haves" for me.

Anyone know if the female victim is perhaps a likeness of someone who played "Mina" on Broadway? Isn't this figure still considered a "Broadway" Dracula. It obviously isn't intended to be a Helen Chandler likeness...or is it just a generic female figure? Just curious...

I'm thinking just a generic female, no resemblance to anyone involved in the play or the film!
Hey, I'm no longer moderated.........that might not be such a good thing!!

I'm loving these Monsters and their ladies theme, Moebius should do a Wolfman and victim, then Quazzi and Esmirelda kits next!!

What's the current projection on this kit's release date? I've got some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket!

Oh well . . . if Factory Entertainment gets their Dracula Medallion to market first, then they'll get my money.

Is anyone else bothered by the sculpt on the female?  It looks to me like her neck is too long and stiff.  Her head should be a little closer to the shoulders and dropping down more.  Her hair is defying gravity somewhat.  Hmmm.  I'd probably go with the first one.

I think you hit the nail on the head. She is a 70s dame-possibly later.

The hair is an easy fix. In fact, to me it appears the victim is leaning back just a bit too far. Again, that's an easy fix.

perhaps. another thought is to consider a model scuplt as a "snapshot". action sculpt. like they werent "set" in "final position". the model still looks good to me.

also, i think hyde and victim, and phantom and christine, and mummy and helen are all additional good subjects for "monster date night models".

the fly and wife? i-man and flora? nosferatu and victim? headless horseman and lady van taseel...
