Horror of Dracula 1/6 Custom Figure Bashes

 OK, here we have a completely customized bash of Dracula and Van Helsing from the Hammer film classic "Horror of Dracula" (1958). 


Dracula features Star Ace "Scars of Dracula" hands,  Product Enterprises head and clothing (with head re-painted by Dan Fuller, and clothes professionally altered by a tailor) and is placed on an extra tall Coo Models 1/6 body. The nameplate is by Headless Hearseman.


Van Helsing features a Steve Thompson Cushing likeness originally issued with their 1/6 Hound of the Baskervilles figure. It has had the hair tweaked by me, and I also painted it. Van Helsing has a bag of vampire slaying goodies included as part of his accessories. He also utilizes Product Enterprises' Diary of Jonathan Harker and rosary. Van Helsing too is on a Coo Models body, normal frame, as Lee is taller than Cushing in real life. The coat is beautiful and was produced/tailored by A.J. Clothiers.

Until Kaustic Plastik releases their versions, this was the only option to have a nice 1/6 offering specific to Horror of Dracula.

The purpose of this blog is quaint in its simplicity. I am a "monster kid".  I have been for over half a century. As such, I sat up late night on weekends (before the advent of vhs, dvd, blu ray, etc) watching as many of these old films as my young mind could....devour. Like any good monster kid, I also collect movie monster items. In addition to consuming said items, I also contribute to the hobby, as a free lance painter. Having done work for Distinctive Dummies, Creatures and Shadows Studios, Brentz Dolz and many others. Who knows, you may have some of my work in your own collection.       The monster kid era began in the 1960's and ran well into the late 1970's. In 1977; Peter Cushing retired his stakes, crosses, and Holy Water, and went to work holding Darth Vader's temper in check instead. Vincent Pric
