    Yeah I fully expect that, it's just a bit odd that it was never scanned into an originating PO.

    @Teletran-1 my Dracula from KoolToyz finally updated today!

    Went right to processing in Mississauga and then was delivered today as well. Hopefully your Hydra is moving now as well.

    Oh yeah, same! I got a new estimated delivery of the 4th, so that's not too bad, I'm getting used to 2 months from China.

    Has any company, or enterprising individual, ever made or suggested an add-on piece for this guys head?
    I assume the blank forehead is true to the cartoon (Didn’t Watch any with the headmasters) but my experience is with the toy and comic, which had an IMO much better looking head.
    Even the FT boxart shows what I consider to be the correct looking head.

    Is it pretty much safe to say that this has now dried up, at least at regular retail?

    Why not just wash your hands with soap and water after handling the box immediately? No disrespect, but perhaps it’s a bit overkill much? For all you know, maybe even the figure itself might have ‘Rona’ on it

    (I’m just teasing..)

    If it has a more accurate colour scheme and a new bat head that actually looks like Mindwipe I would also be very excited for that too.

    Sorry to bump an old thread my brothers...... just wondering if anyone has heard any rumours about this guy getting a reissue - especially in light of Chomp's recent media announcement and the rumoured reissue of Lupus too..

    Hopefully it will. Especially seeing someone paid £419 for a Lupus on ebay recently and there are sellers sitting on buy it nows at around £240 for Dracula. FT price increases are a pain but better than forking out those amounts :D

    Hopefully it will. Yes, the reissue price will be a hideous increase from its original price tag. And as I said, I don't like my chances of getting a preorder in anywhere too. But the small comfort (for those of us that came late to the FT party) is that one way or another - it will be AVAILABLE again. Lets hope FT really do a reissue of this guy.

    Thanks @ChromeMagnus . To be honest, anything & everything FansToys related is just getting too hard these days.
