It is a tough call, but 'grey is the way' it seems. In the series guide, Maeda notes that The Count was envisioned with an 'ashen grey' skin tone, but this did not convey his nature well when animated (the series Mooks shows some of the original colour plates with grey skin). Adding a slightly blue tint implies - according to Maeda - either intellect or magic. Certainly Maeda must have liked this doll as it is, as he signed off on it. I'll certainly be throwing my hat in the ring for it, but I can see why fans would have preferred a screen accurate doll, as opposed to a concept accurate. C'est lat vie...
I mean Im happy we have this wonderful represantation at all, so no hard feelings. I just asked cause despite the original color concept I prefered the blue cause imho it simply fit better in the already very colorful world.
