Dracula (Castlevania) Review
Dracula
Castlevania (Neca)I've always anticipated this action figure since I learned about its existence
and now I've finally found it in local stores.. and happily owns it

<<>> Le Good <<>>
Excellent interpretation of Castlevania's Dracula

<<>> Le Bad <<>>
Designed for only one specific decent pose

<><>

Count Dracula is the REAL star of Castlevania in my opinion..
without him.. we never know if the developers would've settle for King Koopa instead
for a final boss and I don't even want to think about that..

And it's also very fortunate that NECA got the license for the title
and more fortunate it didn't follow that "8bit" series..

The Sculpt of Dracula is very well done.. atleast on the head area
he looks very much like Billy Conolly on his regular day.. which is just right!!
the clothings are nicely done aswell very accurate to his appearance in
"Symphony of the Night"
everything seems fine except the hands could've been BIGGER
but I'm sure most people could tolerate that.. or let's just say, "he's got a BIG head"
the right hand sculpt is also restricted to a very few poses
like beckoning pose, "scratching his hips" pose or "pressing the enter key on the keyboard" pose

Nothing too special with the paint application, the clothings are the usual
red, white and black Dracula outfit scheme..
the eyes have dark sides just like a panda.. which is usual for a vampire character
although it could've gone fine without those.. a pale face would do
the hair is white.. and so is his brows, mustache and goatee which are hardly noticeable
from a distance.. if it's a goodthing or not.. it's up to the eye of the beholder

Dracula has very little articulation and thanks to his outfit that made it much less
his legs couldn't go very far back because of his cape.. but atleast the ankles
are articulated.. I doubt he could stand up without the help of his cape

Dracula also comes with some nice accessories like the Bat and that ever annoying
peeping eye.. only one stand is provited so you'll have to figure out yourself
which one to use it..
oh and he also comes with a pocket watch.. awww they shouldn't have.. I mean, REALLY!!
wish they just have a candle post instead or better yet a coffin..
(so he won't be sleeping on your couch)

Dracula has an open and a close mouth variant..

I prefer the closemouth one.. 'cause the open mouth, I believe is very stereotypical
vampire expression.. and yet I've never really seen Castlevania Dracula that angry

all in all, this is one of the best Dracula action figures you'll ever find
this makes a very good display nonetheless
and despite the lack of articulation this also makes a good toy for kids or adults.
