I would be so happy with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing figures!

I'll definitely get some Lee and Cushing figures.

Holy **** thats awesome!!!
Lee and Cushing are MUST haves.
I kid you not I read this post not even 5 minutes after having re-watched Hammer's Dracula (1958) for my Halloween movie marathon.
I wonder which companies are making what type of product.... who do we think will get the 1/6 scale rights? TOTS, Sideshow or NECA (do NECA do 1/6?)

Trick or Treat Studios is doing masks and 1/6 figures. I am keeping my fingers crossed that NECA does Ultimate versions of the mainstays at least, and shies away from retro cloth. MEGO actually is doing retro cloths of the Hammer license. I am sure Sideshow is probably statues or premium formats or busts. Going to be interesting. I gotta be selective though. Been collecting this stuff for nearly 3 decades. Running outta house for this stuff,lol.

Trick or Treat is no longer planning on doing 1/6 figures for Universal Monsters. Unsure about their plans for Hammer.

I'm all in.

Aren’t they doing mini busts? They do have a 15 inch Frankenstein up for order too for like $199

Oh well... not too exciting, is it?

 

[Rogerbee]

We'll see, they may be more affordable than other offerings.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

I don't like either of them. Maybe they will improve them before release.

 

[Rogerbee]

Anything is possible. We should be thankful that anyone is doing something with the property.

 

[abake]

True, but it's a double edged sword, isn't it?
If these do well as they are right now, there is no real incentive to make them better (unless the owners are really fans who want to raise the bar as they release more figures).
If they don't do well, then the line dies because there was "no interest".

 

[Rogerbee]

Indeed! I'm all for Hammer stuff just as long as it doesn't dent my wallet. My current Lee Dracula is showing his age a bit now and I have yet to find a decent modern replacement.

I want to like the Lee sculpt, it's just so shiny and plastic looking. Has TrT ever done a great sculpt before? Something to give any hope for improvements?

What are these and who made them?

 

[GhostBeard]

I really want a standard Sir Chris head sculpt. I hope they fix this.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

What are these and who made them?

I'm starting to think they are customs. The base Lee is on is from an Alternative Images Hammer Frankenstein model. Since the poster of the images doesn't reply, we have to be involved in conjecture until he/she does.
