I'm down. 

I'm not familiar with the story, though, so I have to wonder: What vamp would be powerful enough to pierce the neck of the Man of Steel?

Man, i haven't posted here in YEARS, but been following again recently.  Hi to anyone who remembers me.

Anyway, I didn't read THIS story, but once in a 90's issue of Superman, Dracula himself bit Superman. The fangs did penetrate because of Drac's magic nature, however the instant he tasted that solar-charged blood, he disintegrated! I can't remember the exact issue where this happened though. Superman should be immune to vampirism in general, however this story clearly played fast and loose with the lore like that. Like while a Green Lantern could become a vampire, the ring should either protect the bearer initially or at the very least disallow using it to flat murder people. It would likely go seek a new bearer. So, really, it's just story reasons. I've heard it was actually pretty good overall as an Elseworlds type thing.

Ah, forgot about the magic component.  That's actually kind of awesome that Supes' blood dusted him.

And allow me to be the first to say "Welcome back!"

This looks really cool actually, the face is awesome, seeing this kinda makes me want this, and I guess if I got it I might just be into buying all of the vampire DC characters to go along with him.

I looked it up and it was actually Superman 180 from 2002. I did a little research and apparently the handling of Superman & Vampires has been a little inconsistent. I found an article that covered the history, including the story I referenced.

As someone who read DC vs Vampires these figures are very funny to me. Two of the characters that they've already made never even became vampires and this is definitely not the look for Supes in that comic. I don't understand why they just couldn't call it Vampire "Whoever" instead of saying these figures are from the DC vs Vampires story line because 3 of the 4 they've shown definitely are not from that comic. I get that it's super profitable to just make a zombie or vampire version of a figure they've already made but please don't say it's from a specific story when it obviously isn't. I picked up the Vampire Batman but am decided on the others. I think they all look cool enough, just not essential to me.
