Dark Shadows Werewolf Action Figure - SDCC Exclusive

Look, I don't know much about "Dark Shadows" -- which doesn't mean I'm not curious, I'm just not that schooled on it. That said, I bought this doll because I'm keen on collecting werewolf stuff and werewolf stuff seems to be in short supply these days. Okay, the figure itself -- is pretty sweet, actually. I got it at the same time I purchased the retro clothed Wolfman 8'' doll, but I gotta say that I like this one better-- it's the head. I dig the heck out of this thing's wolfman head. It's slightly cartoonish, but whatever-- it's a great toy for anyone looking for werewolf stuff. All the clothes on the doll are good, and the only criticism I'd have would be the shoes and feet, as well as the hands-- which are just... well, shoes and feet and slightly clawed hands (with tiny fingers). Which sounds ridiculous, I know...but not when you compare it to the Wolfman retro-clothed figure, which has pretty cooly sculpted claws on his hands and feet, this one falls slightly short. But whatever, overall I was much happier with this doll between the two.

First, I am very fond of this line of Dark Shadows "action figures". Spectre Toys has done an excellent job of replicating the look of the old Mego eight-inch figures I grew up playing with.The werewolf is my second favorite figure, coming just behind Spectre's "Barnabas Collins". Well done!

I wish they'd made this when I was a kid! A really great likeness of our favorite Collinsport "wolf who walks like a man," Chris Jennings, as he prowls the forest in fashions by Orbachs! He's now standing on my desk, looking very fierce!

The detail is amazing! I remember this little guy from the soap when I was a little kid. It was my first werewolf and I have been a fan of Werewolf's ever since.

Looks like he's dancing the Watusi!
