Movies Sideshow Toy: Sideshow Week: Quarter Scale Dracula

We take a sneak peak at the next figure in Sideshow's Quarter Scale line, in the form of the upcoming Quarter Scale Dracula...


This is the next entry in Sideshow's large maquette/doll line. He is perfectly to scale with Frankenstein.

Dracula’s clothing is very finely tailored, and the medallion on his chest is real metal. His body uses more polystone than the Vampyre or Frankenstein – because Bela’s body has a very specific shape.

He will retail for $200 - $225, available in April 2004.

Perhaps because they took so much heat for making Bela's face "too round, too fat" on their licensed 8" and 12" figs, Sideshow over-compensated by making his face too elongated here! I think his hair is too full and fluffy, as well (Drac had a tighter, sleeker look around the sides).This is sort of a revisionist Dracula look -- like in the sad days before Universal would shell out the dough to secure the rights for Bela's likeness from the Lugosi estate. For the big bucks involved, I think a better likeness of Lugosi is required. Oh well, at least Sideshow will spell his name correctly on the box (something the hacks at Jakks were unable to do on their new 8" Bela as Dracula box! (They called him "Legousi" or something as half-assed as that! To complete their inaccuracy, they even gave Bela fangs -- something he never sported in any of his films).
Do you know if Mat Falls or Oluf V. Hartvigson sculpted this? [email]null[/email]
