Embrace the Dark with NECA's New SDCC Glow in the Dark Nosferatu

NECA is back with another San Diego Comic Con exclusive figure for 2024 as Nosferatu is getting a Retro Toy Homage figure 

Nosferatu is an iconic 1922 silent horror film that was directed by F.W. Murnau and changed the future of dark cinema. This film is an interesting yet unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, which introduced viewers to Count Orlok. Different from Dracula, Orlok is a grotesque and terrifying figure with a rat-like appearance, which only helps enhance the film's black, white, and eerie atmosphere. The plot follows real estate agent Thomas Hutter, who travels to Transylvania to finalize a property sale of Orlock's Castle. However, he discovers his plan to spread plague and death in Hutter's hometown. 

After the film, Nosferatu was under legal fire from Stoker's estate, which led to an order to destroy all copies of the film. However, Nosferatu survived and gained undying cult status. NECA is now paying homage to an iconic and classic toy of Nosferatu as they debut their latest San Diego Comic Con 2024 release. Coming in at 7" tall, Count Orlok will glow in the dark and feature a tribute retro styles card back. This deadly Count will be offered at the convention and presale will go up on theNECAstore.com from June 26th – June 28th.
