Great idea...Billiken head, Yagher kit. You did a brilliant job but I think I would do the two individual kits (Yagher's head sculpt is excellent, too).

Is that the head that comes with it? Nice job!

Thank you, once again, gents. Actually it's the head from the bust that came with the Legacy DVD's. Yagher's a
terrific sculptor but, in person, the head sculpt that came with this piece looked more like Carlos Villarias, IMO,
than Lugosi. The profile was a little off, plus the face was puffier looking. I get where he was trying to achieve
the look of the box art but I decided to go with the spot on likeness of the Sideshow mini bust sculpt. The Billiken
head was considered too but it also has a slightly puffy look. Obviously, the Billiken head was sculpted from
images from how he looked in the Abbott and Costello film. I also added another tree on the outside of the
window, did away with the 2nd flying bat that came with this. They were identical and looked a bit goofy
when positioned together, as if Dracula went to the Spirit store and bought some bat decorations for
Halloween...

Also did away with the nameplate. It's obviously Dracula, so..... It's also non-apparent
in the pics but there's a scale 14kt gold cross lying on the corner of the 2nd step as a "nod" to all of
those who've come against him and failed. An outstanding kit no matter how you decide to build it. HIGHLY
recommended!

I love how you customized this kit. Good choice on the removal of the flying bat, I like the wall crawling critter much better! the extra details such as the cross and combination make this a standout! Superb!
