If we’re speaking Dracula within the Marvel Universe, I’m actually extra of a Gene Colan Dracula fan, however I’ve to confess this contemporary take along with his pale pores and skin and vibrant crimson armor is fairly darn toyetic. Let’s check out the Marvel Legends Dracula!
The art work on the field is kind of good and sells Dracula’s imperious nature nicely.
Dracula comes with a sword, two fists, two heads, a proper grip hand, a left clawed hand, and the arm for Blackheart with an alternate pointing hand.
The sword has some sharp edges and is solid in a barely metallic plastic. Sadly for me and the way I normally gentle figures for images, it’s a little bit bit translucent when a lightweight is behind it. It might use a metallic paint job.
The palms swap simply and keep on nicely and proceed the intricate spikey armor design. All of the palms hinge in/out besides the grip hand which hinges up/down so he can form of level his sword. I feel I may need most well-liked two clawed palms rather than one of many fists. Drac looks as if extra of scratch and claw kinda man than a puncher.
The Blackheart arm appears cool, I’m wanting ahead to ending him. The humorous factor I seen is that the alternate hand matches on Dracula simply.
My favourite accent by far is the alternate heads. The intense one is ultra-serious and matches Dracula’s aristocratic dismissive vibe completely and the fangs out model means enterprise. I’m so glad they gave Dracula the 2 choices so he does have the fangs, however doesn’t should all the time be screaming. The ponytails on each are totally different and swivel. The faceprint is sweet because it darkens him across the eyes subtly and provides the pupils a glow impact. There’s additionally a refined shading to the pores and skin of the face that provides some realism.
I actually just like the sculpting on this man, all of the armor has such nice crusty texture and spiky goodness. The tattered and fabric textured cape additionally evokes a little bit of a bat form. He’s a fantastic match for a bunch of art work I’ve seen for this contemporary model and appears like largely new components to me. I actually like how the ponytail for the snarling face is fuller and larger so it appears extra in movement. I additionally like that he’s only a smidge greater than the common Legends determine, not a towering monster, only a bit extra imposing.
Articulation is respectable. I just like the double knees and the swivel/hinge elbows do get greater than 90 diploma bend (which is sweet contemplating the armored forearms and puffy sleeves), however the mid torso wobble doesn’t get a lot wobble. The barbell ball and socket neck has respectable up and down, however nice tilt. At first look it appeared like we’d have missed the boot minimize on this determine, however the ankle swivels on the calf and foot and the armor hides it properly.
Paint is okay with largely appropriately coloured plastics and the designs on Dracula’s sides are cleanly performed and the plastic high quality is usually matte. He might actually use a darkish wash to carry out that armor element and a few metallic paint on the chain.
General I’m actually happy with this determine. It’s only a placing armored look and the pale face and hair contrasts properly. It’s not my Dracula for certain, however the crimson armor form of recollects the crimson armor within the prologue from the Gary Oldman Dracula movie and the pale pores and skin and hair recollects Oldman’s previous Dracula look later within the movie. It’s actually good of Dracula to armor up that chest, and the tights give him a little bit of an excellent hero vibe to slot in extra with the Marvel Universe. It appears like this Dracula can be a superb match for the extra Snipes-inspired Blade. I might nonetheless actually go for a basic Gene Colan fashion Dracula and Blade along with his loopy inexperienced shades.
