This summer, Diamond Select Toys will release a set of three new action figures based on the core antagonists of Netflix's Castlevania animated series: Carmilla, Godbrand and, of course, Dracula himself. The vampire trio will compliment another set of three other action figures based on Trevor Belmont, Sylpha Belnades and Alucard, Castlevania's three monster-hunting protagonists.
The solicitation promises that each figure will have its own accessories and 16 "points of articulation," meaning joints that let the owner move and pose various body parts on the figure. They will also be "packed in a full-color blister card."
These Diamond Select Toys' action figures are designed by illustrator Eamon O'Donoghue, who has made illustrations for properties as diverse as reprints of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian novels and the DVD sleeve for X-Men: Animated Series, and digital sculptor Richard Force, who designed the previous Castlevania action figures as well as figures for the Avatar franchise.
Helmed by acclaimed writer Warren Ellis, Netflix's Castlevania portrays Dracula as a tragic villain with a vendetta against humanity after the execution of his wife Lisa on false charges of witchcraft. Godbrand and Carmilla are Dracula's two vampiric generals, who ostensibly join his genocidal crusade but have their own agendas. Netflix recently renewed Castlevania for a third season.
The set will retail for $59.97 and is now available for pre-order. An image of the figures appears below.
