Baron Meinster 'Brides of Dracula' Megostyle Figure

[Vintage Horror]

Do yourself a favor and avoid re-watching it. Keep your fond memories intact.

LOL. Matt, you will enjoy it again. It is very much in the line of SHE (1935) for me in that half way through it, I'm like I just don't know if I really like this movie or not, but by the end am always glad I re-watched it.

i dont think the beard is too long, but to my eyes the way its sculpted, it seems like the hairs are short and curly making the beard look almost zeus like and the yetis in the movie had straggly wispier hair in the beard. maybe when its painted and has its fur body it will look different. no doubt it will still look great.

That longer, stringy fur is very hard to replicate in a static sculpt. Kenner's "Beetlejuice" action figures (based more on the film than the cartoon) had a really hard time capturing Beetlejuice's likeness, as a result. The talking, plush version (about 15" long, as I recall) used fake hair instead of sculpted hair.

I watched it long long ago......and thought it was boring. Nut I was a kid. I watched it on Daily Motion yesterday....at age 44 and loved it.

I guess it's just me, but I had the exact opposite experience (liked it as a kid, not so much now).

You get your Meinster today Mord---or am I gonna have to read about it in the Sacramento Bee?

No Meinster yet. Don't worry about me, I know where to hide the bodies (I'll throw in an LOL in case someone thinks I'm serious).

 Got my Meister in the mail today. Man is this figure great! Thompson's sculpt is dead on (and I've just watched the film). Martin's paint jobs have become a major attraction on their own (the guy is an artist). The clothing is very elaborate & detailed (hell, I would wear them if I were an 8" vampire). The card art is beautiful (yes, you heard me right).

The card art is beautiful (yes, you heard me right). I love these figures, they are a true beacon of quality in my collection.

Glad you're digging it. Although, the card art on Meinster is different from the others in this wave, and on the Walinski and David figures, too.

Are you sure about that? I saw that back of the card & figured those were just stand in doodles until the cards were ready. Martin always said that the lines would have consistent card art. Those don't fit in with the rest of the series. I'm feeling good about this right now, so I don't want to think about it. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

[Count_Zirock]

No, I'm not. So, nothing further on it 'til we get the definitive word.

All card art in the Hammer wave will be gleamed from posters. The only 'doodle' on the back is the Abominable Snowman. The other three images are from posters.

The reason it's beautiful is because it's poster art. Let's hope the card art stays consistent as we've been led to believe. One of the reasons the first Mego Style Hammer set was successful is because of the beautiful poster art on the cards. Let's hope all of the Hammer figures follow this successful pattern.

Well, horrorhunter & Mord, there you have it.
