Looks like Dracula, Carmilla, and Godbrand are getting some Diamond Select action figures.

The quality of these figures is the most villainous aspect of all.

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

godbrand

Haha. Had to downgrade his name  ;D

Yeah I'm not really digging those figures myself. If they're meant to actually be played with like real toy action figures then that's about as good as they'll get.

I don’t think adult collectors literally “play” with their figures like they did when they were children; rather, they display them in static poses on their shelf. The articulation looks sort of limited too. The only one that I think is worth getting is Dracula, although his face is very generic & doesn’t look that intimidating.

Also these are prototypes, so who knows how the final retail product will look.

That's kinda what I mean. If they're meant to be collector figures then the details should be a steps higher then what we see, and the articulations far less noticeable (if non-existent). These 'prototypes' look more like expensiveness kids toys rather then something a collector would buy. Though collectors do buy many cheap things too as it is about what they want to collect.
