Is that the Tom Parker head from a few years ago or something that looks amazingly similar? Whichever the case.... Me want! If you have this made to also fit Type S Mego bodies, there would be customs galore. Devil Bat to be sure. Remember what I did to your Carradine Dracula and Blacula?

This is intentionally similar to Tom's head, but in 1/12 scale to fit the upcoming Haunted Mansion reissue.

Do indeed remember your Megos. I spent some time considering the potential of that market but ran out of steam for it.

With Trevor's indulgence I couldn't help imagining what this would look like.

Alrighty, peeps....as usual: I adore the Escape hatch Hobbies products. Several years ago, Diamond Select made some Universal Monsters figures. Their Dracula was a generic offering. It didn't resemble any actor from any of the Universal flicks. When I saw this head I ordered one without hesitation, hoping it would be a good replacement head for DST's figure. It was indeed. Perfect!

This was the head before I removed the peg, head, and trimmed out the neck post with a hobby knife and a hair dryer. Which was all very easy.

This is the Escape Hatch Hobbies head, after painting it up, and repainting the hands to match...a very nice Lugosi- Drac figure now resides in the line instead of genero-Drac. The noggin is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
