Title: What Is This DRACULA "Game Piece"? - (ACTIVE EBAY B-I-N AUCTION)
Post by: Monsters For Sale on September 03, 2016, 02:16:11 PM
I am not familiar with this flat 3¾" plastic Dracula figure.  Can anyone one tell me what it is from - and were other Universal monsters made in this line?

For any UMA Dracula fan who might be interested in this, it is in a currently active Buy-It-Now listing for pretty cheap:

It's a piece from the Revenge of Dracula board game:

Cool!  I like the sleek look of the piece.

I guess that means I don't need to look for it's Frankenstein counterpart.

Thanks, ramsey37.

Pressman did make a Frankenstein's Monster game, Escape From Frankenstein, but the figure in it is assembled as part of the game play and is of a different style than the Drac. Still fun, though!

I have both the Dracula Game and the Frankenstein game from Pressman. Fun to play with the young nephews with a simple rules set. I wouldn't say either have a Universal Monster likeness beyond very vague generalizations.
