The Big Picture Dracula has been getting new-found love over the last couple of years with Universal's new wave of monster movies, which have included blood-soaked romps like Renfield, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, and Abigail. However, on the toy front, there has been no company as beloved in the horror community as NECA. This decade has seen the company make high-quality action figures based on the classic Universal Monster Movies that lasted through the 1950s.
Like NECA’s “Ultimate” Universal Monsters line, their Ultimate Count Dracula is a seven-inch scale figure packed with a batty amount of scream-worthy accessories. This includes a removable fabric cape, a shovel, interchangeable hands, two candle stickers , and three interchangeable heads. The latter of which perfectly captures Lee’s haunting likeness and two of the head sculpts bare the character's nasty fangs with blood dripping down the monster’s face.
There have been many actors that have played Dracula in the last century with countless beloved adaptations. Bela Lugosi will always be at the top of that list, but Lee’s version of Dracula is a close second. NECA have already released two versions of Lugosi’s Count . With Lee now entering the ranks of NECA’s seven-inch figures, these two horror icons can finally battle it out in action figure form.
The ‘Horror of Dracula’ Was Bloody Historic Horror of Dracula was revolutionary for many reasons, but the Terence Fisher Classic is most known for being the first Dracula film in color. They didn’t waste that opportunity either, with blood being all over this adaptation. Lee didn’t need that extra bit to be scary. His screen presents and how he looked in costume was enough to send chills down any horror fan's spine.
Horror of Dracula is currently not available on any streaming service, but you can rent the film on all major VOD platforms, like Prime Video. It’s also available on Blu-ray via the Warner Brothers Archive Collection. As genre fans prepare for their next Hammer horror marathon, you can currently pre-order Lee’s Ultimate Count Dracula figure based on Horror of Dracula on NECA’s website. The figure is set to be released in September 2024.
