Some excellent options there, I'd be interested in getting some of those.

I've just had another idea.....I know you say you already have a Christopher Lee version, but what about commissioning one from that Ernst Veingart fellow? Crooked Dice seem to be using him more and more. He has a knack of being able to sculpt perfect representations of peoples faces! You only have to look at their newer Dr Who figures....



A perfect one of Christopher Lee might be cool?

Wow! I'd be so on board with all this! Sign me up now!

If we are wish-listing here and still sticking to Dracula and his posse, then I think you also need thralls.  What about a Renfield figure? Something in a straitjacket? Can't remember if there were any other thralls in the book aside from the gypsies. I did love the coachman from the Coppola movie as well, but clearly that had nothing to do with the book.


Thinking out loud for starters' figures sculpted as follows:

1- Old version in long fir coat and C18/19th Clothes and boots. Long grey hair, long moustache. The book gives him pointy ears which I am not sure about. Fangs bared in threatening pose.

2- old version lying in coffin/crate.

3- Younger version in Victorian attire with long overcoat with fir collar and cuffs, top hat, long hair and moustache. Standing,non threatening leaning on walking stick with wolfs head handle

4- Three brides of Dracula(I have a plan for these, but would you go for standing looking seductive or aggressive fangs bared?

5- A pack of loyal Szgany/ gypsies with swords, knives and muskets.

6- male/female Vampires recently turned, dressed in Victorian clothes. Aggressive feral poses fanged bared etc.

Then I will look at the Vampire hunters. What do you think so far, thoughts/ideas/comments?

I like those ideas, all of them :)

Maybe a version of the "freshly-turned into a vampire" Vlad (like in the posted pic) to add to the collection?
Usable for game set in the 15th century ;)

I'd be down for a set, it seems to hit all the right notes. Wolves, bats, rats & Renfields non-withstanding.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

Christopher Lee or Max Shrek would be perfect. Maybe Dracula through TV and Movie history versions, why stop at one. Then we could have different Van Velsings, think about a great Peter Cushing.

@White Knight I said it first...  lol

Stoker's Dracula is hideously ancient, but the novel is Victorian modern, never forget.

As for 1), if you do go with long ears, then he should be either totally Max, or on the way. Cadaverous head on a robust body might be a bit weird, though.

To others, at least. I like it!

I've got one, from a box set of minis produced from the film.  Hoping to find the rest soon, they got sold or packed away when I quit the hobby some twenty years ago!  Found Drac though.

Jack Palance would be great too.  Gene Colan based his Marvel Dracula after him.  Wotta great face!

For me I would like to see seductive female vampires in erotic lesbian poses and a must would have to be akin to the cult classic 1910 Nosferatu.

5- A pack of loyal Szgany/ gypsies with swords, knives and muskets.

I'd be in for those


I'd also like a hunchback, a dwarf and a tall thin henchmen

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.
