Since I wasn't all that interested in a B&W Dracula figure, I didn't really look online for it, so I just started calling in "London" because I saw it listed here that way, probably because the color version was listed as "Transylvania" - makes sense to call it "London" - he didn't wear his top hat and cane in Carfax Abbey. 

I'm still waiting for my Invisible Man and Transylvania Dracula figures.  I can't recall how BBTS used to send their stuff out, but I see these were sent via DHL (with final delivery by the USPS) - and DHL is slooooooowly sending them my way.  But again, as long as they arrive safe and sound, I can wait awhile longer for only  paying $4 for shipping. 

Doh!

Frankly, I'll be ticked if we don't get b&w Transylvania Drac, Bride, and the others. I already own the color Sideshow set so don't want to get more of the same -- even if these are an upgrade.

Got my Dracula's and Invisible Men from BBTS today. Have only opened Mr. Rains and I love that on the back of the figure tray, there are TWO more extra noses.

I got the Invisible Man today.  Very nice.  Dracula is due in tomorrow.

I got the Transylvania Dracula today.  I like it, but hate the smiling head.  The face with no real expression is the best.  The angry face is the second best.

After weeks of looking I went ahead and ordered from Amok Time. They had both versions of Dracula in stock along with The Invisible Man. i think those sculpts of Lugosi are pretty damn great.

If we get another, I still want one with the dramatic lighting for his hypnotic stare.

I also really really want a Renfield.

I did see something cool at Target in the NECA section. They have these little three pack of stands that you can put the extra heads on to display them. 7 bucks seems a little steep for them but after seeing the Lugosi heads I might just buy a set.

On NECA's instagram they said to watch out tomorrow, the anniversary of Dracula's release, for something cool.

My predictions:

Less Likely- Dwight Frye Renfield

Mid Likely- Stage Play Dracula or Remco Glow Dracula

Most Likely- Nicolas Cage Dracula

Or it could be NOTHING!

Why would they give a heads up to watch for "nothing"?

Van Helsing would be extraordinary......but it is probably just a re-paint of some sort.

The Van Helsing-Renfield TWO PACK would be even better!   ;D

They do something called "Turtle Tuesday" where they post Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stuff every Tuesday. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's a first look at the Dracula x Shredder crossover figure. It hasn't been confirmed as coming, but based on the other pairings it seems likely.
