' Description BRAM STOKERS DRACULA - LIFESIZE RESIN BUST - HOWARD S. STUDIOS Large as life and so realistic, you can practically hear his ancient Romanian voice... This is Gary Oldman from "Bram Stoker's Dracula," magnificently recreated in 1/1 scale by Howard Senft, brilliantly presented, ready to display. Yes, Stoker's timeless novel seems to be as undying as the vampire described in its pages, as the tale has been told and retold for over 100 years.  Director Francis Ford Coppola filmed a faithful adaptation of the book in 1992, with Oldman portraying the undead Count in his many incarnations on screen.  One of the most notable visions of Dracula in the movie, was that of the "Old Man" vampire, a centuries old nobleman, with a lust for life-giving blood. Here is the finest representation of the fiend you'll ever find, professionally finished to museum quality standards.  This lifesize bust was created in 2006 by Howard S. Studios as a limited edition of 20 resin castings, with this one being #3.  Howard's sculpt is phenomenal, perfectly capturing every subtle nuance of the character in excruciating detail.  Not only has this one been professionally painted, but the piece has also been customized for extreme realism on display.  Actual white/gray hair has been painstakingly applied to the bust, including the Count's extra long braid.  Glass eyes are perfectly inset into the bust, with false eyelashes carefully attached to the lids as well. There's a professionally tailored costume draping the bust consisting of two separate pieces; an inner white shirt and collar with metallic gold ornamentation, and an outer cloak of red silk with a black silk inner lining.  It all adds up to the ultimate homage to the classic character!  And remember, this Old Man is lifesize, measuring 15 1/2" tall x 11" wide x 13 1/2" deep.  (His braid stretches nearly 30" in length!) Please know that this macabre masterpiece is in perfect condition, and to keep it looking that way forever, Dracula comes with a custom-made display case of heavy-weight, 1/8" thick acrylic. The case has a clear front panel, top, and both left and right sides for viewing, while the back and bottom panels are gloss black for a slick looking effect.  The display case is designed to be either wall mounted (there's two discrete holes in the back panel), or put upon a shelf.   It measures 16" tall x 15" wide x 15" deep, and the top panel of the cube is removable for easy cleaning.  And to prove the authenticity of this bloodsucker, Dracula comes complete with his original COA form Howard S. Studios, signed and numbered by his creator.  Handsomely hypnotic and compellingly creepy on display, this rare resin portrait bust is offered to those who truly appreciate the very finest in fright film artifacts.  If you love the undead, drink deep.
