SDCC 2011 Exclusive Rose Vampire DX by Josh Herbolsheimer

The Blot’s been hearing rumors for weeks of a “mascot” sized Rose Vampire being grown in the deep dark soil beneath San Francisco. Then on Friday we learned those rumors were true when Super7 announced its San Diego Comic-Con 2011 line-up! Check out the very first colorway of Super7’s new Rose Vampire DX.

As you know, The Blot is a huge fan of Josh Herbolsheimer’s Rose Vampire, and this 6” version definitely takes his killer rose to the next level (it even includes a surprise accessory). Just look at the way it more closely resembles Josh’s artistic style! However, I’m really going to miss the Monster Family edition of this character and don’t know that I’ll be collecting the Rose Vampire DX with the same fervent passion I have the 4” version. The $65 price tag doesn’t help things either. Then again, how can I turn down the very first Rose Vampire DX!?!

The San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive Rose Vampire DX by Josh Herbolsheimer features glow in the dark vinyl with red and blue spray. Each figure retails for $65 and can be purchased from Super7 at its SDCC booth #4729.
