"BROADWAY DRACULA" MODEL KIT NEWS

Exciting news on the monster model front! Moebius Models is developing a new kit "modeled" after Bela Lugosi's 1927 Broadway production of DRACULA. The 1:8th scale model will be made from mold injected plastic and will include figure and base. Officially licensed by the Bela Lugosi estate, the kit will be packaged in a "classic style model box" (maybe after the legendary Aurora "long boxes"?). No other news is available at this time, but a few shots of the prototype sculpt have been circulating (see below).
