There are screen monsters, and then there is Dracula. Bela Lugosi's 1931 performance did not simply play the Count; it fixed the look, the voice and the impossible elegance of the character into popular culture for nearly a century. Every raised eyebrow, slow turn and suspiciously well-tailored cape since owes him rent.

Star Ace brings that legendary performance out of the shadows with the Dracula (1931) Bela Lugosi Deluxe Version Superb Scale Statue. Built at imposing quarter scale, the statue captures Lugosi with his arms spread wide, poised somewhere between a welcome, a command and the moment you realise accepting that dinner invitation was a dreadful mistake.

The sculpt is dressed in a real-fabric recreation of Dracula's formal tuxedo and his unmistakable red-lined cape. Beneath him sits an elaborate cemetery diorama with a gravestone, a twisted dead tree and Dracula's name worked around the base. It is theatrical, gothic and about as subtle as a pair of glowing red eyes in a darkened room — which, conveniently, it also has.

The Deluxe Version adds light-up blood-red eyes, supernatural illumination rising through the cracks of the tree and a removable, wearable ring bearing Dracula's crest. Yes, the statue comes with jewellery for you. The Count may be undead, but he understands customer service.

Why pre-order? (Invitations are important with vampires.)

Quarter-scale statues are not made in endless numbers. They are large, elaborate and produced for collectors who already know exactly where they are going to put them — even if that answer currently involves moving three shelves and negotiating with a spouse.

This one is expected at the end of November 2026. The date is an estimate from the distributor rather than a blood oath, so the manufacturer or supplier may move it. If that happens, we'll keep the product information updated and send it on as soon as stock arrives with us.

Reserve it now. Let the anticipation lurk quietly in the background. Then, one suitably dark evening, an enormous Bela Lugosi Dracula arrives at your door and the hallway becomes considerably more gothic.

Why buy Star Ace from us?
