"I bid you welcome."
Welcome to 31 Days of Toy Terror Takes the Universe, the 2024 edition of 31 Days of Toy Terror! This year is the 12th year of 31 Days of Toy Terror so I decided to do something extra special for this countdown to the spookiest day of the year. This time we're focused on the Universal Monsters! These guys and gals are horror movie royalty and this year we're celebrating them all. To kick off the festivities this year we're starting with a look at NECA's Count Dracula in his Transylvania garb. Count Dracula isn't the first figure from NECA's Universal Monsters series of "Ultimates" figures but he is the first star of the Universal Studios horror films in the era of sound films. While Lon Chaney's Quasimodo and Phantom are typically placed alongside the later Universal Monsters, Bela Lugosi's Dracula is kind of the anchor of the films as a whole. I think he's a fitting subject for our first review, don't you think?
“Welcome to my house! Enter freely. Go safely, and leave something of the happiness you bring.”
