It's certainly interesting, and I definitely think that people should be showing off indie toys on this forum. Though I am curious as to what you meant by "real toy"?

The head and hands are made of vinyl, rather than resin. Give a kid a toy made of resin, and it will be broken within 5 min.

Mike, exactly.   
A "real toy" is something produced on industrial equipment , out of traditional kid friendly materials, and in a traditional method as other toys.  Maybe not meant to be played with but can be.

Ah, gotcha!

Sorry, I misread your tone. Anyways he's a cool doll and I hop we get a mummy at some point.

Awesome toy. While I understood the "real toy" sentiment....if it's made in China it comes with its own potential issues. Remember all those lead based paint hot wheels,lol?

I predict these will do well. Guys like me will buy them up for kids or grand kids, and maybe even get one for themselves to boot.

Anyone know if other monsters are expected down the line? It certainly does look cool...I might order one after the holidays.

Nevermind! I found them on etsy lol. I just had to look a bit more.

Do you know if those are available for purchase still? I did a google search at it looks like the seller might have them on etsy, but the ones I saw were discounted because of box condition.

I just ordered one.  Nice sized doll with OK facial sculpt.

I had seen one listed on eBay that sold for $76.00 plus $52.00 shipping!  I thought it was a one-of-a-kind item made by some fan.

I got my Drac Bat here a few years back. They must've bought out a warehouse full because they never seem to run out:

What a space age material! Heavy and so brittle it can't survive even casual rough handling.
