I'd given up hope of these ever actually coming out. Hopefully the final versions look as good as those promo pics, if they do I'll definitely be grabbing Cushing and Lee.

 

[Matner77]

Had these on pre order for ages & they were finally dispatched today : D.

I just finaly had Dracula,Van Helsing and Contess Dracula in the shop. I opened a Dracula to check and was disgusted by the poor paint apps especialy on the teeth.I hope this is only a one off because to wait this long and to then suffer poor qc issues would be a bloody insult!

 

[Matner77]

Hmm thats what I'm afraid of. After seeing the poor paint app on the 11th Dr & Amy Pond. I passed on them, I hoped they would've ironed out any problems since then. It'll be such a shame if the brilliant scuplting is ruined by poor paint jobs again. They seem to do the clothing well but not the skin tone & facial details. If my Van Helsing & Dracula aren't acceptable I'll be sending them back & cancelling my Trek preorders. Titan have already had one negative from me. I hope I don't have to complain again. I've waited years for a decent representation of Cushing & Lee in their iconic roles

 

[Hedji]

Ditch, can you show some pics of the busts unboxed?

 

[Damien]

don't tell me they did these poorly like the Who ones
dammit

 

[Ex-Parrot]

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Which is why I didn't pre-order. Damn shame, as they are such great sculpts.

Here are the pictures of the busts out of there boxes hope this helps guys.

The Countess Dracula Ingrid Pitt

Count Draula Christopher Lee

Professor Van Helsing

From these pic's Dracula & the Countess look pretty good. Cushing is good, but the eyes seem odd or is the camera angle?

I agree looking pretty good from those pics... looking worth the investment.

Matner let us know when yours arrive...

 

[Matner77]

Once I've opened them I'll get some photos uploaded later this evening.

 

[choopie]

I wouldn't mind picking up Lee and Cushing, if the paint apps didn't look so weak. I would love to see more in-hand pics. How much are these?

 

[Matner77]

Mine were from forbidden planet £49.99 each. About the same as Gentle Giant's minibusts

She actually turned out much better than i thought she would.
thanks for posting.

[Matner77]

Well I have to say I'm really pleased with my Van Helsing & Dracula. Cushing skin tone has a more of a matt finish compared to the glossy look of the Dr & Amy pics I've seen. Definately be keeping my Trek preorders now. Cushing eye colour seems a bit to much on the photo but in person it is spot on

 

[Damien]

I'm really liking these
will look up prices

 

[Ex-Parrot]

In that case, I'm gonna have to bite on Lee and Cushing. Thanks for the pics and thoughts.

 

[grphyx1]

Well I just got in Count Drac and I have to say the paint apps are not bad at all. the paint on my teeth are crisp. Will inspect better when I gets home, or tomorrow. But glad I kept the orders in.

 

[grphyx1]

So far I have got one and I think it looks amazing.

Really waiting for Countess Dracula
