Unfortunatey, I didn't receive an alert to this until today and it ended yesterday. The only reason I'm posting about it is to ask: "What the hell is up with that cape?!

He's the latest superhero, VampireMan! He can fly without having to turn into a bat!

By the time he finished buttoning it, the show would be over.

I think it's a piece from a Count Orlock figure from Nosferatu. He's also known in some of the English prints and in the remake as Dracula.

There is a similar line, perhaps even the same manufacturer, that I've seen in retail stores like Target. The focus seems to be on classic television shows, and the action figures/dolls released are very much in a style of a 60s era toy, packaging included. I've seen them for various shows including Star Trek, The Brady Bunch, Bewitched, and others. When I first noticed them in the store, I wondered if Dark Shadows might get the same treatment given its immense popularity during its original run, and subsequent resurgence many times over the last five decades. It would be interesting to see Dark Shadows "toys" in stores.
