Whats wrong with these pictures.....??!!!

[Scary Terry]

Seems to me there ought to still be a lot of unused extra heads out there from the glow issues of these kits many moons ago.  Otherwise I say it's customizing time.  There are some good replacement heads already out there.  Maybe I'll try my hand at sculpting one, too....

Hi My 2 cents. If Revell is going to produce these again, If ya don't like don't buy, BUT I wouldn't DISCOURAGE others. ANY  :)Model Company STILL Producing kits is a National Treasure!!!

I don't think anyone would have had to try.  the horrible head they were going to use would pretty much discourage anyone all by its lonesome.  Luckily its now a non-issue.  Hurray for Bela!

Why does it say "Lon Chaney, Jr. TM likeness" on the Wolf Man model? Looks nothing like him whatsoever!

LOL!    You mean you don't remember the movie where Lon ran around in ripped up jeans and no shirt on?  And you call yourself a monster fan.  Everybody's seen that one.

I never saw the poopy replacement head. Could someone put up a picture?

And if it comes to that - why no Karloff or Lugosi estate claim on the other two?

If you wouldn't discourage others from buying, that's fine. Encourage them if you wish. That would be having your 2 cents and allowing others who disagree to have their own 2 cents as well.

Where is Dracula's ring?!!?

Where is Dracula's ring?!!?

QMX is at it again....

[Nightmares in plastic]

Where is Dracula's ring?!!?

Even in the Luminator reissues the ring was just a lump of plastic due to the age of the molds - guess thats why it not used in the build up...

Read on another board that Revell states in their press kit:

"Dracula has had a small face lift to meet updated licensing requirements".

So it looks like its a licensing issue that cause all the fuzz, but why - the head never looked like Lugosi to begin with.
It was the Boxart that drove Bela Jr. into that lawsuit, not the model....

Aw shucks! Them there Revel people done gone and ruined my staking Granny Clampet, why do yee all  be thinking why I's do my whittling n that thar pouch? It's to stake that thar vermin from Hell.

So it looks like its a licensing issue that cause all the fuzz, but why - the head never looked like Lugosi to begin with.

Just a guess, but it might be the fangs. The original Aurora kit -- like Lugosi himself in the original film -- didn't have them.
