Design Notes
A modernization of the classic Draco/Vampire trope, moving away from the 1990s 'Bat Lord' aesthetic toward a Victorian gentleman look.
Similar Minifigures
Vampire (CMF Series 2), Vampire Bat (CMF Series 8), Count Dracula (Studios theme), Bat Lord (Castle/Fright Knights).
Collectibility
Moderately high due to the cult following of the Monster Fighters theme and the gothic design aesthetic.
History
Follows a long lineage of LEGO vampires dating back to 1997, marking the first time the character had such detailed torso printing.
Interesting Facts
The red eyes represent his powered-up state using the moonstones; he is the only figure in the theme with this specific fur-collar print.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Monster Fighters team (Jack McHammer, etc.) or inside the Haunted House (10228).
Modification Potential
Excellent head for custom Victorian-era villains or steampunk-themed minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Halloween-themed figure with excellent 360-degree character design and strong nostalgic value for the 2012 era.
