Thanks so much for posting the action figure info, Stuart.
I've wanted that item for awhile now & I just ordered it.
Keep up the good work!
Must have Barnabas doll!
Thanks for the link to the new blog! I'm always looking for new Dark Shadows sites.
Just in case anyone is interested, a wrote a "Dark Shadows" tribute a few years ago. And it's now online. See link below.
All the best,

Wow, I am catching up on this as of March 11th, 2009 and I am surprised to read that Mitch Ryan is still with us! He was terrific as Burke Devlin, always giving the character a complexity of robust humor, sentiment that he'd try to hide while showing a vengeful villain that couldn't quite go for the jugular, and all kinds of passion. I wonder is there anyone "in the know" reading out there who would know where I might send Mitch a fan letter? Hi to all you Shadows-'Til-You-Drop fans out there! We are Forever!!
