Baron Meinster 'Brides of Dracula' Megostyle Figure

[Spock]

Also shipping in January is Wave 2 of the Hammer Megostyle Series and we kick of with Barion Meinster. This is, again, another wonderful Steve Thompson sculpt but please excuse my bad photography. I will be investing in a new camera in the New Year and maybe, time permitting, take a small photograhy course. Full info at

Unfortunately I never picked up on this myself until the printvwas finished. My apologies on this one

Oh goodness, that's unfortunate. Have you considered having corrective stickers printed up that could be put over the misprints?

I am actually extremely embarrassed by this.  I have been working with the layout guy for over four years and never had this go wrong before. Not sure if stickers will work but will look into it

Much better than the 12"! The clothing also looks fantastic. I guess we can over look the misspelling this time. Keep on going, Martin, you're the only one who can pull this stuff off.

it wasnt my intention to make ya feel embarrassed. i just posted as soon as i saw it thinking maybe there was time to stop the presses. really it isnt something to feel all that bad about. the figure looks great and thats the main point. if it ever goes into a second edition and ya fix the spelling, the mis-spelled one will be worth all that much more to some people.

Very Nice!!!!!!!!

I will buy one, and then turn the cape to red like I did on the 1/6 custom I did.

Don't feel bad about the typos, by the way.

I remember when Mage Toys released its Coffin Joe figure, the tagline read "This Night He Will Possess YOU Corpse!"

And then later on the package, his name was misspelled "Ze DE Caixao". Damn it. That still irks me.

The face looks great. The cape seems quite voluminous. It should keep him warm on those cold Transylvanian nights. Did he wear two capes in the film? I see some stills of him in a red cape, but I think of him in a grey or blue-ish cape.

I'm happy to see that you used poster art on the card. I wish you did this on all DD releases. But at least you're doing it for the Hammer figures. Please keep that up. Too bad about "Meister." Oh well. Lincoln International needed a spellcheck on some of their monster figure packages. Marx sometimes had spelling issues, too. It happens.

I am very glad that you are including the Abominable Snowman in this second wave. I did not think I'd see him for a couple years, if ever. But please, please, make his head sculpt resemble the makeup in the movie. Take a look at this thread in the Classic Horror Film Board for some nice photos of his face:  http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/50856/The-Abominable-Snowman-MakeupCostume

Yes, his face is half covered in shadow, but you can still make out everything but the mouth. The most distinctive thing is the nose. Get the nose right and you are halfway home.

He only wore one style of cape-- a slate gray one.

In the publicity art, it was hand colored bright crimson red.

With his blond hair, and red cape, I have often thought his image must have informed Anne Rice's conceptualization of Lestat, even though she insists her husband was the physical model for the character.
