    Not really. Just like 25 bucks less than TFSource or whatever.

    Man, that hurts. Forgot to check BBTS. Oh well, fuck it. Toy Dojo has always been good to me. Extra 20 bucks for them and they'll get it (and Spoiler) faster to me than BBTS would or ShowZ would. BBTS is so slow it might as well be in China.

    Might as well just call ebay up tomorrow and let them know your concerns in advance.

    You can find Dracula in just about all the regular online stores (Toy Dojo, TFS, BBTS, Agabyss, Robo Toy Base) for just about the same prices (or lower) you see on eBay. Me and a few other people here got scammed trying to save like $20-25 dollars, but overall scarcity is not the problem with Dracula the way it is for Lupus or most other FT products. I think of the major retailers the only ones that are sold out are TCP and ShowZ.

    Those aren't knock off Legos, they are Satan the Tanning man himself. LEGO has the best QC out of any toy company ever, something HasTak and Fans Toys should take note off.

    I received Dracula the other day and I noticed that the face is very easy to pop out from the headmaster back...should it be glued to it or just friction pegs?
    Overall I like the figure a lot, in particular for its color combination

    Neck swivel issue is the one major problem I have. Wish FT would get little shit like this right given the attention to detail everywhere else, such as sculpt and styling and sometimes transformation.

    This figure was discounted to around £90 at Kapow last year but with all things FansToys they usually end up becoming much sought after (except Hoodlum).
    For me Dracula is practically toon perfect apart from the wings in robot mode and I actually prefer these super articulated wings over the toon wings

    Finally got off my keister and ordered this fella. Now if only we could get a reissue for Lupus. Or, better yet, a Lupus-T with a nice off-white instead of silver.

    I read somewhere in the forums (i.e. not official news) that FT intends to reissue Lupus. It would be nice for those that missed out the first time.

    Yeah. The plan was (and hopefully still is) to reissue Lupus around the same time Chomp drops.

    I certainly hope so, having the three of them together would be so cool.

    I didn't know how much I needed a pink and black bat until I picked up Mindwipe on a whim. Now he's one of the favorites in my collection.

    This guy popped in today, I'm very impressed. Let's hope the Lupus reissue is real!
