Figura Obscura: The Masque of the Red Death, RED Robes Action Figure

Death comes for everyone. Riches and power and noble birth mean little to the cold embrace of the grave. In death all are equal, and none can escape its touch.

First published in 1842, Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death” is Gothic fiction that relates the tale of a horrible plague and a group of wealthy nobles’ doomed attempt to escape from this dreaded disease. Of course, hiding from death is impossible, and the end is always certain. For, as the final line of the short story states: And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.

This original 4H exclusive “Red Robes” figure features all red robes, the eponymous 'masque' in red, and an all black body.. Also included, a handful of accessories: Prince Prospero's dagger, extra sets of hands, a pool of blood included as a base, and a large ebony clock that sits in the Prince’s abbey where this story takes place.

Like all Figura Obscura releases, The Masque of the Red Death with come in deluxe packaging with a magnetic front cover and loads of artwork from this character’s story.
