Amok Time Screams for Blacula
I don’t know if any of toy store-turned-toymaker Amok Time’s figures have actually come out yet, but damn if they still aren’t picking up some awesome licenses. Just announced: Killer Clowns from Outer space, It! the Terror from Beyond, and most importantly, the only vampire with soul, Blacula! The Klowns will be 6-inch figures in scale with NECA’s Movie Maniacs, It! will be a 12-inch scale figure (meaning he’s a towering 13 and a 1/2 inches), and Blacula will be 12-inches of awesomeness. They aren’t even available for pre-order yet, but I had to share the good news.
