The O-ring version of Bela Lugosi as Dracula is a nice upgade. He's typically been paler, and the head sculpt is decent but never quite right. This one is a little bit better, and while he looks a little bit older it feels better. He has 1980s G.I. Joe or The Corps-style articulation, complete with a screw hole in his back and rubber o-ring construction.

Everybody has had a lot of chances at Dracula toys. Some bigger, some fancier. At this point it's probably more about style than anything else - between Burger King, Funko, and Super7 I've picked up some decent takes on this guy, all at the same scale, with basically the same costume. Each one has benefits from its era and/or creators, and some have detractors. The 2018 Super7 Dracula [FOTD #2,638] was sculpted by an ex-Kenner guy, with a vinyl cape and hands that look more or less like figures of the 1970s and 1980s. I have no idea who made the 2025 one, but the goal of making a decent figure in the style of 1983 Hasbro turned out to be great.

Based on the 1931 movie, this features a pretty good Bela Lugosi likeness (hence, no fangs) and a costume matching that of the prologue where Renfield pays him a visit. The cape seems a little understated, but it's impressive. The super-thick cloth cape has an elastic neck band plus two sheets of fabric so it has a red lining. It looks really cool, but it doesn't hang well due to the thickness. It's incredibly stiff and shiny, so it looks really cool and it's distinctive. It's not perfect, but looking at cloth capes from the 1980s that's not abnormal.

He stands fairly well, with an awkward cut in his torso that was typical of o-ring construction figures. Most characters had a cut above the belt on their pants. Dracula has a waistcoat, Headman has a double-breasted jacket, but almost everybody else was designed around this particular feature. Depending on how you pose him, it's no big deal - but if you twist his waist it'll look goofy. The hands are more or less typical Joe hands, but the left one has his ring. Most figures leave this detail off. The costume surprised me by adding glossy paint to his shoes, rather than just leaving them the same black as the pants.

The costume sculpt isn't terribly fancy. It's a little too perfect. The pants and coat are crisp with minimal wrinkles or lumps, lacking in muscle bulges or the kind of greeblies you'd see on the various soldiers in Hasbro's line. It's not bad, it matches what the character should look like, but it's a little bit short on that lively magic that we got on older action figures. He also includes a candle, which he can hold without much fuss. Had Super7 left it out, I wouldn't have missed it. It's impressive, it stands on its own and has two paint apps on it.

I'm always more interested in monsters that don't have human faces. Still, it's a good figure that adapts the classic vampire concept to a very specific - and previously unexplored - figure format. At some point I would expect a 5.5-inch Masters of the Universe format, or M.U.S.C.L.E., and if we're really lucky maybe Super Sentai. I might not be up for everything, but I enjoyed the 1990s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossovers and I like these too. I'm hoping we get Frankenstein's Monster and The Mummy too, but Super7 picked the right trio to kick off the line and they all turned out pretty well. If you like the format, and have a collection of other similar toys, I'd recommend Drac but not as highly as the other two.
