The Vlad the Impaler figure is dressed in an incredibly detailed fabric costume, featuring an intricate, hand-sewn coat with fur trim and includes a fabric tabard, wired for posability. The figure comes complete with a switch-out helmeted head featuring a snarling vampyric likeness and adjustable mask.
Standing menacingly atop a bed of victims' skulls, mace drawn and intent on exacting his bloody and vicious will, the stunning Vlad the Impaler Premium Format Figure is an outstanding addition to any collection.
Vlad Dracula's terrible reign in Wallachia began in 1456, when the Romanian nobleman escaped years of captivity with the Turks to reclaim his father's throne. He gained a sinister reputation for his harsh punishments, treating the offenses of beggars and common trespassers the same as armed military enemies.
Soon, he had earned the nickname Vlad the Impaler for his favorite means of execution: suspending victims on sharpened stakes set into the ground, leaving them to die painfully and slowly. His name becoming synonymous with blood and terror, Vlad the Impaler's vicious and unforgiving tactics are said to have been the inspiration for Bram Stoker's legendary vampire Count Dracula.
