Hey, look at that break in the ivy just to the right of the shield! That's not supposed to be there. Air bubble in the resin. This made it past quality control? Oh no, it's going back!
Received my replacement ring from the Haunted Studios today. A definite improvement over the first ring they sent! I hadn't even noticed that the ring band was offcenter on the first ring until I compared it to the new one.

Excuse me fr the blonde moment (well, at 55, I still have two or three strands of blonde hair) but I'm ordering this ring. http://www.hauntedstudios.com/dracula-crest-ring_DRACULA-FAMILY-CREST-RING.htm If it is , in fact, supposed to be the Lee-type should I order it in the gold finish over the silver finish.

I don't order from Haunted Studios because most of their stuff is copied or cast from someone else's work (like lifecasts). At the same time on their page they make threats that their work is copyrighted, and if you copy it they will this and that...blah blah blah. Pffft.

I wasn't aware of that, M.B. Still, right now, HS are the only ones selling the Christopher Lee Dracula ring. Their COA states their ring is cast from a copy of the original that they purchased in 1972 from a "private collector." I know that means the rings they're selling are 3rd generation castings. But, again, they're the ONLY ONES selling it at this time. As I told Factory, I'd prefer buying a licensed, authorized replica of the ring, but this is all that's on the market. No one's hit them with a C&D order, so I'm assuming no one else does have the rights. Even the DD Ultimate Edition ring was made in 2009, before Factory (or anyone else) had the license.

Lee's ring was silver-toned. I doubt it was cast in actual silver, more likely nickel and then silver-plated.

Just an FYI for those still considering the FE Collectors Edition ring. It's still on sale for $35, although the free shipping offer has expired. Still, $35 + shipping is a decent enough price for it.

The Factory Entertainment Collectors Edition ring is on sale at various sites. Monsters In Motion has it for $29.99 + shipping. If you're thinking of getting one, do some price-comparisons, and you could get a nice deal for the holidays.

#350? Wow, that means they're more than halfway sold through their edition size of 600 in just about a year.

Sterling Silver Dracula Signet Ring: Bram Stoker Int'l Film Fest by W. Hammond, Whitby, England.
My tax refund was a little bigger than I'd anticipated this year, so I'm considering ordering one of these rings. I have to email them to find out size and price conversions, plus shipping.
