Mezco Toyz has teased pre-orders for a new One:12 Collective figure inspired by Count Orlok from the 1922 silent film Nosferatu.
The figure appears to be the first in the One:12 Collective line to fall under the Silent Screamers umbrella, which was a line released by the toymaker in the early 2000s and featured characters from Metropolis, Nosferatu, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and more.
The Count Orlok One:12 Collective figure will be available for pre-order on June 29. I’ll update this post with further details on where to pre-order, how much the new figure will cost, and when it is expected to ship when the information is made available.
UPDATE:
Mezco Toyz has now officially released their Silent Screamers: Nosferatu Bundle for pre-order. The figure is part of Mezco’s 20th-anniversary celebration and is a call back to one of the first figures Mezco ever created.
The new take on the classic Mezco Toyz Silent Screamers figure features a number of new accessories that were not part of the original release and features a brand new sculpt. Inspired by the poster art for the 1922 film Nosferatu, Count Orlok wears a coat, tights, and leather shoes.
The infamous vampire features three head portraits capturing his inhuman visage, with long, rat-like fangs and pointed ears and six interchangeable hands for posing, holding, and grabbing. The figure also comes with a removable hat, a lantern he can hold in his hands, a rat-infested coffin he can lay inside, a set of castle keys on a metal ring, and six rats.
The figure comes packaged in a retro-style tin lunchbox with art inspired by classic animated cartoons.
In addition to the figure, the exclusive bundle comes with a Nosferatu T-shirt featuring original artwork and a limited edition Nosferatu film cell featuring a scene from the stop-motion trailer used to tease the release of the new figure.
The figure is now available for purchase on the Mezco Toyz website for $112 and will begin shipping next month.
