flattworld Bela for xmas - aw yeah!!!

[rche]

super big thanks to meerkat for the awesome swap that brought me a Bela Lugosi Dracula for xmas.

This figure has catapulted to the top ten of my favorite commercial figs. I really find it hard to believe this was release to the public with so many cool accessories and such fantastic attention to detail.

The portrait is fantastic, the textiles are fantastic, the body is fantastic, the coffin and accessories are fantastic. Hand sculpts, shoes, packaging - everything is super top notch. I am now doubly saddened to know that Mr. Flatt could not continue to manufacture more of these amazing figures in a public platform. If you ever come by these forums Charlie - thanks. This is one hell of a figure and a bang up job overall!!

Yeah, it's a favorite of mine, too.
There's a lot of love and commitment in that figure and its accessories.
Love the coffin!

After seeing pix here at the museum of Flattworld Dracula alongside Emce Frankie & Wolfman, I had to pic him up as a personal Christmas present to myself. WOW! Talk about a monster toy that stands out among the rest. The bat, the candle, the COFFIN! Everything about the Flattworld Bela Lugosi Dracula makes it a must get for monster toy fans.

Charlee wasn't the only reason that Dracs was so cool - there were a couple more of us involved, both creatively and financially. And yes, the fact that we were able to produce that figure is one of the highlights of my life. So thanks for the kind words

The coffin is outstanding and inspired me to pick up a Mego sized tomb for the Mummy. Oddly enough i was just checking out Flatt's Dracula. I bought it for $40 at Spencer Gifts years ago.

Did the people who invested into Flatt's figures make any money or break even?

I can't pass these up when I see them. I've got 5 Bela's, 4 Uncle Sam's, and 3 of the 9/11 Firefighter figures. I've pieced a couple out for parts, but mainly I like to stare at them complete in the box.

[Mego Milk]

aw yeah.

I gottem too.

That figure was so far ahead of it's time. Love it!

Bela is still 1 of my fav figures. Good job to everyone involved.

There were only two folks with any large scale monetary invesment - Cal Weaver and myself. There were a few smaller investors who largely broke even. Cal and I lost money, a lot for him and a pretty decent chunk for me. Frickin' Asian manufacturing reps...anyway, it was great while it lasted, and if I knew then all that I know now (and everyone I know now), it'd probably be a very different situation.

The way you guys talk about him. I may have to pick one up.

[rche]

well Michael, having had investments that did not pan out for me - I feel for you. But, I am certainly glad that you and Cal took the chance. My gratitude goes out to all involved in this project, and I wish it had worked out for the better and we could have seen more figures like this at retail. I am glad to have the piece in my collection.

Probably one of the best 1/9 scale figures ever released. He looks perfect with the EMCE monsters, almost like it is the same line.
