Sideshow Collectibles Hammer Dracula & Van Helsing Premium Format Figures 2021

I bet we do. They’ve got them listed as April to June. So even if they miss the later part of that window that’s still 6 months to get them out before 2023. They tend to get lower sized items like these out quickly. Partly I think because the production load is less but probably also because the longer they take the more likely one of the 6 of us would cancel one of the few orders they got

I’m super tempted by this pair but hoping to wait for final production photos before needing to decide for sure.

I hope they last that long. If these turn out great I could see what limited stock they have left over drying up real quick. With just low editions these will either disappear almost instantly or if they turn out bad might linger for years to come lol

Everyone get your delay notice for Dracula ,lol?

Yeah, can’t say I was really surprised by it. Disappointed but not really surprised. But these weren’t hot sellers either so we might not hear much about them until they do actually ship.

I didn't get a delay notice.

I received one for Dracula but not Van Helsing.

Van Helsing is technically listed as a month behind Dracula so we may not get one for him until April. I imagine they’ll ship either together or back to back pretty quickly. A big delay between the would be a little odd. Neither are complex pieces so they should be a pretty straight forward production.

I’ve been watching these and was hoping for alternate heads, at least on Lee with a more stoic, closed mouth, but unbloodied head. Seems not the case. Potential buy once I see actual pieces.

How long do we think it will take for these to sell out?
I kind of need the money I have tied into these preorders and wanted to canvass opinions on a rough guesstimated timeframe to try and raise the money again before they are gone.

These now state October-November as expected release windows.

Looks like Sideshow has added actual production photographs to the Van Helsing listing on their web page. including the bottom of the base and the box. Maybe they are actually going to ship soonish.

Well, I guess it's just me and the crickets in this here thread these days,lol.

Dracula PF now has actual production pics up on the site as well as the box art. Production sample doesn't look that much different than the prototype. Which is good. Cushing's is slightly more noticeable, but still great! I will be so happy to add these to the crypt.

Now if only they would SHIP THE BLOODY THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am anxious. Halloween brings out the beast in me.

Love the look of the boxes for both - really nice.

Yep these seemingly have turned out pretty nicely given how Sideshow can sometimes be.
Dracula's eyes look very different in my opinion - a lot browner and less pink/bloody - I'm not sure if I love that change

I would love to see them in hand also!
I sadly had to cancel my pre-orders as I needed to funnel the funds into other pieces (and real life stuff) - but hopefully I will be able to snap these up in the near future.

Love the box, love the clothing and the sculpt - the paint app does seem flatter than in the prototype - almost toyish I dare say - but hopefully that is the lighting from the photography and we will be able to see more detail in person.

Still a great looking piece and I am very envious of those who will be getting him soon!

I'm a sucker for an art box. Makes it seem like there was more love and thought put into a piece.

I can't wait for this!

I'm usually very patient when it comes to things like this. However, I am getting very anxious for these to be shipped to me. I really hope they do a Vincent Price with a similar base. A Curse of the Werewolf with Faux hair would also be killer.

Im waiting for some of my reward points to become available and then I might get Dracula. Would be a nice piece to get out for Halloween.

Been creeping this thread for these two for awhile and really impressed with both of them. I never got into Hammer horror much but these make me wish I had. Seems they've been handled with the respect they deserve and both just scream old school Sideshow in a very good way.

I really wanted to get a shipping notice that these would arrive before the end of October. Please Sideshow....GIMME!!!! Come through!
