Fresh Moneky Fictions Joefest 2024 Exclusive Operation: Monster Force "Blood Prince Dracula" and "Omen of Doom Forgotten King" In-Hand Look

I managed to snap some images of my new Fresh Moneky Fictions Joefest 2024 Exclusive "Blood Prince Dracula" and "Omen of Doom Forgotten King" figures I purchased this weekend during JoeFest. I believe these are the first two actual figures in the 1/12 Operation: Monster Force to see actual release so far. Wave 1 is slated to start shipping out to folks this August.

These two are translucent plastic variants of Count Dracula and Forgotten King from wave 1. For those who weren't able to attend JoeFest this weekend and would like to add these to your collection, a limited number should be made available at our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com this Wednesday (6/26). The cost of the figures is $40 each.

Just some initial thoughts on these two. The overall construction on these figures seems to be pretty well done. I didn't feel like I needed to worry about the figures breaking as I was moving the joints around. I didn't even need a hair dryer to loosen them. The joints also seem to be fairly tight. At least out of the package I didn't have any problems with loose joints.

Articulation is solid overall with things like double-jointed knees and elbows, ankle pivot and butterfly joints at the shoulders. Both of these figures wear shirts with coats which are done as one piece separate from the figure itself but not removable. I can't tell what kind of ab joint the figures have but with the shirts on. Whatever the joint in that area is, it's useless . The hair on the Dracula figure is a fairly hard plastic so you don't get much back head movement on that one.

The packaging on these exclusives is basic. They come in ziplock type bags with a cardboard header stapled on the top. The accessories come in smaller ziplock type bags that are then placed in the larger bag with the figure. See images below to see what accessories come with each figure. The regular figures in this line will come in nicer packaging. They will be a book like box with artwork that has the front flap opens with a little comic on one side and the figure window display on the other side. You can see images of the regular packaging HERE from JoeFest.

In-hand look at the JoeFest Operation: MonsterForce exclusives. For those who couldn't make it to JoeFest a limited number should go up for sale this Wed at BBTS. Overall construction is nice. No issues with breakage or anything like that. Articulation is pretty good overall. You get things like butterfly joints at. the shoulders. Both these figures have jackets and shirt which are a single piece. This does limit some of the mid-section articulation. I can't tell if there is any kind of ab joint but with the shirts on they would be useless even if they do.

Ah, thanks for the review JC...they've had renders up for a long time so its good to see that someone has actually seen them in-hand.

Big Bad has been emailing me saying that some of the first wave is currently expected to arrive in August, so we're almost at the in-hand finish line. Or is it just the beginning?

During the panel they said it's not a straight repaint but is injunction with Maestro Union.

Right, it's not a straight repaint. It has different weapons than the original Veteran William, but it's the same sculpt and has the same interchangeable limbs, heads (from the pics at Big Bad it looks like they might have gotten rid of the cigarette in the mouth of the third head, but it's hard to tell) and coat. That was the case with the white Veteran William variant, as well.
