NECA Pays Homage to Classic Horror: Unveiling ‘London After Midnight’ and ‘Nosferatu’ Figures

NECA continues its impressive homage to the timeless Universal Monsters by introducing two captivating action figures inspired by classic horror films. Revealed at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, the upcoming action figures pay tribute to the iconic 1922 film ‘Nosferatu’ and the elusive 1927 movie ‘London After Midnight.’

The eagerly awaited ‘Ultimate Count Orlok’ and ‘Ultimate Professor Burke’ action figures are listed as “Coming Soon,” and Toyark, our trusted friends in the toy community, have generously shared some exclusive photos from SDCC, showcasing the incredible details of these collector’s items.

The role of Count Orlok was immortalized by Max Schreck in ‘Nosferatu,’ an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula.’ On the other hand, Lon Chaney brought to life Professor Burke in the legendary ‘London After Midnight.’ The latter movie’s history is intriguingly shadowed by tragedy, as the last known copy of the film was tragically lost in the 1965 MGM vault fire, along with numerous other rare silent films. Consequently, ‘London After Midnight’ remains one of the most sought-after lost films in cinematic history. However, NECA has expertly crafted the action figure based on the available still images, allowing fans to cherish and celebrate this forgotten masterpiece in a new form.

For enthusiasts seeking an in-depth look at NECA’s SDCC 2023 display, featuring these mesmerizing horror figures and more, make sure to visit Toyark for a comprehensive view. With these upcoming releases, NECA continues to pay homage to the classics, delighting fans and collectors alike with their attention to detail and dedication to preserving the legacy of these timeless monsters.
