Any pics?

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

Yeah, pictures would be sweet. This is probably more of a marketplace thread, right?

[Anarchy]

you can see alot of ahmeds flatt pics here Untitled Document (http://www.bosfoodandgames.com/ahmedscollection.html) near the bottom

[ScottA]

Moved.

[NewForce]

good to see ahmed again... I remember buying all your loose Wgsh back in 2002 or so (don't remember exactly when)...
pm what you are looking for , for your set...

[Type Two]

Holy mama. That is one AMAZING Mego collection. I love the POTA set-up with poor Pete on his knees surrounded by Gorillas!

Kudos to you, Mr. Abdoo!

[Cosmicman]

That's a nice set. Wish I had the extra cash handy for that.

[clemso]

Wow the legendary Mego1

[MEGOMAN]

Wow! That is quite a list. Unfortunately I'm not interested in them all. But I would like to know how much the phantom and the thrown would be?

[Anarchy]

another email sent let me know man :)

[Type3Toys]

Some of that original stuff is beautiful.

[MEGO1]

Thanks for all the interest fellas...Please don't ask me for Prices...!!! I am ONLY entertaining OFFERS at this time so feel free to make one...!!!

[boss]

I'd like to see pictures of the two Jokers.

[MEGO1]

I forgot about poor HOBGOBLIN...he is part of the lot as well..!!! :)

[starsky]

hopefully there's enough interest in the different individual figures that mego1 would be willing to part out the awesome collection?

[Hector]

Oh yeah...I remember you...didn't you sell most of your awesome Mego collection?

Those Flatts are awesome...but it's going to be awfully hard selling them as a one time bundle...the economy is bad...and many people are struggling financially.

Individually would be your best option.

Nice to see you around here.

[Anarchy]

just sent you an offer through email bud.

thanks

Greg

[AJ Collector]

I would love to see some pictures of this collection and might take one or two myself, lets pool our funds and make this happen......

[Anarchy]

ive already offered offered a high amount, ($6000.00) it was declined.. i think he thinks hes going to get out of them what he spent.

[AJ Collector]

Good luck to you Greg, the Flatt figures I have seen were outstanding, I hope you add them to your collection!

[Anarchy]

thank you i think ahmeds prices are a bit to high, good luck to him though :)

[Hector]

ive already offered offered a high amount, ($6000.00) it was declined.. i think he thinks hes going to get out of them what he spent.

That's about $350 per figure (estimate).

That was a very solid offer from you.

It's going to be tough selling the entire bundle here (perhaps eBay?)...not many of us have that kinda cash.

I wish him the best.

[Hector]

.................

[Meule]

Selling them as a lot probably isn't the best move in this economy. If you want top dollar I think it's best to sell them separately. I bet there's enough interest for all those customs.
But bear in mind that Flatts aren't as popular anymore as they used to be and people aren't inclined to spend that much money anymore. Not when you can get a custom that looks just as good (or even better) for less money from another customizer.

[Anarchy]

alot of the flatts wont fetch much on ebay i think those batmen would be hard pressed even to catch a few hundred. fire and ice batman? most people could care less. i would probably keep deadpool and morbius and sell the rest.

[Hector]

The Hobgoblin does look pretty bad arse though...I always loved that Flatt Hobgoblin.

I actually like all the Flatts except the Superman figure, it just doesn't look quite right, and it pains me to say this, especially since many of you know, that I'm a big Supes fan and collector...lol.

[BlackKnight]

[Anarchy]

well my buddy started collecting customs, so the idea was i keep 2 and he keeps 2 and we try and get our money back on the rest. unfortunitly, by what i figured it would be very hard to recoup the funds. why would anyone buy one of the flatt batmen when they can get a kick *** better one from BK for half the price, or the same with a black panther, t3t makes a killer one. my advice to Ahmed is sell now before the flatts become completely worthless in 5 to 10 years.

[thunderbolt]

^^^ I agree, there are customizers around how that have blown Flatt away in quality. A shame he didn't stay customizing, be interesting to see if he would have honed his craft even more.

[Megospidey]

If you are looking for $500-600 per figure (or even more), then you will probably be handing the set down to your kids. Flatts do not command those prices anymore.

Good luck with the sale however! I really do hope you find someone willing to pay your asking price.

[MEGO1]

I would like to see the Batman that BK makes that is KICK *** better than Chalee's...Where is it...??? Show me...???

[Anarchy]

Ahmed i think your missing the point the last flatt batman on ebay went for about $180.00 i know because i bought it for my buddy franks toy store. almost everyone who collected flatts has gotten out. the two heavy hitters have everything already and i'll only post initials, JK and WO. i suggest you sell the lot on ebay and see for yourself, those flatt batmen actually scare me cause youd be hard pressed to get 300.00 each.

You may be able to sell some of them individually at that price, but collectively on average you're right on Derek.

I don't know how much you want for a Flatt Batman, but I can make an educated guess going by what I read here. For that kind of money I could probably get half of all these figures from BK. In fact I have several of his customs :grin:

[stabilio]

This is unfortunately what happens when you've got a bunch of stuff that you paid above top dollar on and then leave for 5-10 years. You wake up and are unaccepting of what your stuff is now worth. The days of $1000 Flatts are over. Sorry if that doesn't sit well but thats the facts. It happens with niche items that become a shortlived huge rage. Watch in the future when someone attempts to sell a stretch Batman that they paid 15 grand for and you'll witness something quite similar.

[AJ Collector]

Those are wicked......there is such talent here it's scary!
Sandy's Batman should be added to this group, and if Chris or Farley decided to do one, heaven help us!

[MEGO1]

To be quite fare I tip my hat to you customizers...Those Batman versions are pretty good...I am impressed with how far you guys have come and I applaud you...!!! Keep up the great work and maybe one day you can make customs like Charlee does...!!! :)

[AJ Collector]

Nuff said!

[Meule]

Every custom shown here has surpassed Flatt's Batmen

[Megospidey]

My friend, I know you believe strongly that Flatt's work is the best. And you have the right to the opinion.

But the one thing you cannot argue is that the value of Flatt's have gone down. They just don't command the prices that you paid for them.

I would strongly encourage you to test eBay and see what happens there. There are many more collectors of custom figures out "there" who are not members here.

In the end, I think you will come back here and either A. accept the very generous offer of Greg and his buddy or B. part out the collection individually.

[MEGO1]

I AGREE Chris the Man...!!! I even tried to buy figures from him...He is INCREDIBLE...!!! But I don't know what happened...he never could make time for me...I have been waiting for over a YEAR for my order and that kinda reminded me of the **** Charlee used to put us through and honestly thats why I am done...!!! I found a customizer that I love again like Charlee and I can't get him to make me a custom...I'm done wishing...!!!

[MEGO1]

Greg,

Come on...all BS aside and everything...It's me your talking to...Frank, you too...both of you know exactely what a Flatt is and both of you know the differences between a Flatt and these other customs...and NO its not just the INFLATED $100 hundreds... :) lol haha...!!! Come on guys we have been friends for a long time...I know you two guys well...!!!

And for all you other folks who love to chime in with your 2 cents about how much I paid for my Flatt-(How do you have any idea what I payed for my Flatts?)...For your information...I didn't overpay for any of my Flatts as a matter of fact most of them only cost me between $300-$400 with a few exceptions of course and those inflated FLATT prices you all talk about so loosely like you have a clue...Those INFLATED FLATT PRICES were created by RON, Myself and Frank and Greg and that Psycho Scott D.-(God Love em)...We all whether we all knew it at the time or not were the DIRECT cause of the PRICES going through the roof...Our interest in acquiring them was voracious and infectious and we fed off each other and we all had CASH to spend...which, when you figure there weren't many Flatts in existance, could and DID make a volatile PRICE HIKE which was bound to fall sooner or later...We loved it because we were making a fortune hand over fist with the turnarounds...I for one actually didn't pay a dime for any of my Flatts when I figure how much profit I made on the ones I sold off...!!! So please don't talk to me about accepting the fact that FLATT inflated prices are a thing of the past...Duh, I already know...!!! :)

[MEGO1]

Keep in mind fellas...when I say a Flatt I don't mean Charlee's crappy early work with the constipated faces...He like many of you got better with time and experience...!!! I am refering to his masterpieces...Those who understand know what I mean...!!!

[Anarchy]

at least you know the inflated prices are a thing of the past.. i think im the only one who would give you a offer like i did.

[The Toyroom]

To be quite fare I tip my hat to you customizers...Those Batman versions are pretty good...I am impressed with how far you guys have come and I applaud you...!!! Keep up the great work and maybe one day you can make customs like Charlee does...!!! :)

Wow...what a back-handed compliment...

Pretty good? Dude, take off the Flatt "beer googles" and come to the realization that the hot chick you scored with last night is neither hot nor a chick :smiley1:

There are about 5-6 customizers right off the top of my head on these very boards, in fact in this very thread, that are much better than Flatt ever was.
And the thing is Charlee got out...he's not in the game anymore...could he have improved and still been the king? We will never know because he stopped.

Meanwhile the customizers I already referred to are still in it and have taken things to levels Charlee never dreamed of. To say that if they keep up the great work and one day they can be as good as Charlee is INSULTING.

In fact, they are BETTER than Flatt and to acquire their work is no where near as expensive as Charlee's work was. $1000 for one of those figures is ABSURD. I'm sorry if that's what you paid "back in the day" but seriously dude, you got majorly ripped off. The fact aside that they aren't holding their value....even back in the day those prices were ridiculous.

But of course, I'm sure you realize that now...And debating the subject of Flatt's work versus others is just a smokescreen for you to justify your hope in recouping your losses.

[Megospidey]

The reason we know what you paid for your Flatts is due to the offer you turned down. It's simple logic.

You turn down a $6000 offer. Why? Because you paid more than that for your figures.

It's simple economics my friend. I neither have to know you or how much you paid to figure it out.

[stabilio]

So if Greg is offering you between 3 and 400 each which is what you claim you paid, why aren't you taking it? You say you know the days of inflated prices are gone. You even admit it was created by yourself, 2 guys who have expressed no willingness to pay premiums for these figures anymore, and 1 guy who is in prison. Who exactly does that leave as your target customer, particularly in a bad economy? Maybe you're trying to stir up some new hype and suck in a new member to the disciples of Charlee? The time has passed, pal. I think you'd better crawl back into the carbonite chamber and sleep on it for another few years.

[Donkey Hoatie]

Oh boy. Here we go again. Can't we all just get along?

[Megospidey]

^^ I think this has been fairly civil so far. Just a friendly debate on the value (or de-value) of Flatt's work in the current 8" customizing world.

[Anarchy]

you hit the nail on the head if thats what he paid then why is he not accepting my offer? listen i love the flatt phantom, deadpool, morbius i think their awesome, and i also understand their not some peoples cup o tea. im buying as a collector, and the rest i would get rid of quick to make a good portion of my cash back, but honestly ahmed its a crapshoot, the flatts are soon going to be worthless, basically man im all thats left as a flatt collector, im more of a customs collector, you cant tell me that bk dick sprang batman doesnt rock? its right out of the pages of a comic. so yeah i would sell most of the collection to get alot of the cash back, but those batmen are barely going to bring any scratch in.

haha you guys are great...!!! I absolutely love your enthusiasm...!!! I'm not attacking anyone...lets get that straight...I am no ones enemy here Gents...and as you all said I am entilled to my opinion...I think we can all agree to that RIGHT...??? My opinion is that Chris and Charlee are the type of customs I like BEST...I am sorry if that offends people but its just my taste...!!! As far as not accepting Gregs offer...Well...#1 I am NOT desperate :) and #2 its not fare in my opinion...!!! What's wrong with that...???

I can totally appreciate your digging these new customizers and I agree that they are pretty good but for me its not perfect...I have a certain look that I go for...its not mego and its not comic book...I really can't explain it but Charlee later work hit it on the nose for me then and NOW its Chris...Chris has the touch and look I dig best but try and get hi to make you something its imposible...!!!

[Anarchy]

Ahmed every year that goes buy their value keeps going down.. because basically noone cares. i challenge you to list a batman or two on ebay and they wont come anywhere near $400.00

[Anarchy]

how bout you keep fire and ice batman and ill give you $5000.00

[Anarchy]

im putting an over inflated price on those two crap batmen which we both know wont fetch more then 200 each on the bay.

[MEGO1]

So why do you keep yours Greg...??? I mean if they are going to be worthless...??? What's the point in waisting good money on them...!!! Why not instead offer one or all of these cutomizers here a portion of the $6000 you offered me to make you morbius, deadpool and phantom with the throne and such...??? Why not...???

[MEGO1]

how bout you keep fire and ice batman and ill give you $5000.00

Huh...I think your offer just got even weaker for me...before it was $333 a Flatt and now its $312 a Flatt...did you mean for it to be like that...???

[Anarchy]

I only have about 5 left man. i like them thats all there is to it. my offer just expired its not even worth my time anymore, enjoy them for yearsssss to come.

[AJ Collector]

It would be very interesting to see what they would bring on ebay, but in the end I think it would be disappointing....

[Anarchy]

id bid the 6k and it would sit there till it ended probably hitting about 3500.00

[boss]

I hate it when mommy and daddy fight. :)

[Anarchy]

and daddy gets real mad and throws the milk carton as hes screaming obscenities!


I hate it when mommy and daddy fight. :)

[MEGO1]

Awe Greg...no don't pull out on me now...I was almost there...!!! haha :)

[MEGO1]

So...how many of you guys have customs from Chris M. and which ones do you own...???

[Anarchy]

thats what your mom said lol


Awe Greg...no don't pull out on me now...I was almost there...!!! haha :)

[Hector]

Like I said before, I dig those Flatt figures except for his Superman...Charlie just could never nail that figure.

[Anarchy]

Ahmed i know you think you have a goldmine brother but seriously get out while you can, throw the lot on ebay or something your gonna get stuck with them.

[CoolLou]

Ahmed, you crazy hamburger flippin' SOB! Nice to see you back....

[Dark Shadow]

I’m not so sure that Ebay is the place to determine fair market value these days. It isn’t what it used to be, and sadly that is not entirely due to the declining economy.

Just curious…if a seller requests private offers and a potential buyer makes an offer which is graciously declined, is it to that buyer’s advantage to publicly disclose that offer in an attempt to berate the seller into accepting it? I’ve yet to see that play out well for any buyer…perhaps I’ve missed out on all the success stories?

On the other side of the coin, isn’t it best not to denigrate any artist’s work...even if light-heartedly? While art is entirely subjective to the perceiver, it is really quite personal to the creator.

Concerning the idea that current & future advancements negate prior achievements: isn’t Mego collecting proof positive of the absolute opposite?


Course, what do I know…I’m just a moron! :wink:

[MEGO1]

Well Said Dark Shadow...!!! Whoever you are...!!!

I never dissed the Flatt's (just Supes, lol)...they are awesome figures...just a tad pricey for today's market...that's all.

[jimbutsu]

Okay- quick show of hands-

who saw this thread inevitably circling the drain before we were even past page 1?

All we're missing now is for Ron to chime in, but I think he's busy.

[Anarchy]

no ron, but maddmoz asked me to post this for him, as he has no interest in re-establishing an account.

Hi, MadMozz here been a long time since Iv posted or even cared to look on these boards ( yes I know Megos & yes if Mego made it I had it several times over, boxed carded & loose) Anyway Greg sent me the link & I just could not help myself.

I want to point out that looking at some of the more recent customs I like a lot of the work being done it has come a long way since the Flatt hey days of 1998/2000 & damn a lot of the current work looks amazing! I think its fair to say from looking at the Batman figures they have some very Flatt like features & I assume like any good artist Charlees body of work had some influence on the new customs figures, I am not taking sides in this Flatt vs other custom figures as there is no real way to say which figure is better ( some people like the new Star Wars movies some like the original ...who's right?) I do want to note that I understand what Ahmed is saying in terms of a certain look that Flatts had when Charlee was at the top of his game no matter what they are worth today the figures still look great & 10/12 years later the quality of workmanship & Flatt style still holds up in my opinion.(

I have a toystore & people are still blown away by the Joker I have) I talked to Greg about his offer to Ahmed & I know it was sincere & more then fair based on what Flatts bring today however from what I can tell from the posts it seems like Ahmed really does not want to part with the figures it was more of a go fish type of situation which I think most of us can understand " hey if I get crazy money great, if not I keep my Flatts & go to work on Monday & no big deal I love em so its all cool. That's just my take on the current situation & I don't think either Greg or Ahmed is wrong. I would like to point out that its a damn shame that Charlee had so much talent but was such a messed up dude, at one point he really was the king of customs & the sky was the limit, I mean just think about this he was turning down $1500 a figure at one point its just insane what happens to people, I know for a fact he got $900 a Joker & did 12/15 of them & still said it was not enough money for the work he had to do! I waited 4 months for a Daredevil figure & had to beg & pray for & hope he didn't take my $600 & run after that I was done , I sold all 37 figures at the high point of Flatt mania made a lot of $$$ & finished college. I wonder what Mr. Flatt is doing now? I would be willing to pay $100 a figure COD ...... of course.

HAVE A GREAT MEGO DAY

MADMOZZ :)

[boss]

IMO Charlee seemed to have a better eye for scale, proportion and detail than most. To me, that's "his look" and it sets his customs apart. His headsculpts did lag behind his other skills, but then again most customizers today (including yours truly) rarely sculpt their heads from scratch, so he tends to be graded on a curve by admirers (or harshly by critics).

The Flatt GL I have is the prize of my collection. I also know that I have a later head sculpt that was better than his earlier attempt. I hope to own more Flatt figures someday. I won't be paying more than $300-400 for them though. Hopefully a lot less.

[AJ Collector]

I would like to add a Flatt Joker to my collection, feel free to pm me with pics and prices!

[samurainoir]

Can we actually see pics of these Flatt figures in question? I'm guessing most of what we saw in Magazines back in the day were his "early" work? I'm curious about comparisons to his later work.

I think it's been a lively debate so far, and I'm finding it a fascinating look at a perceived life cycle of custom collectibles. Particularly as our demographic has aged out of the "sweet spot" and given way to 80's collectors.

scroll midway thru and the flatts begin.

Homemade Heroes Article from Toyfare written by Charlee Flatt (http://www.aupublishing.net/flatt/newsite/index.php/2010/01/10/homemade-heroes-article-from-toyfare-written-by-charlee-flatt?blog=8)

[SUP-Ronin]

So in summary, this thread was basically a waste of everyone's time, even the potential actual buyers, which you have managed to irritate. Nice. Seems like too many of these, lately.

[samurainoir]

Unless there will ultimately be a nostalgic phase of Flatt customs, I think it is safe to say that the envelope has been pushed beyond that with customs particularly with the 12" figures you see coming from overseas in the grey market in particular in the wake of Hot toys incredibly high end figures. For $200 - $500 range you end up taking home a ridiculously realistic figure that is say, practically a miniturized Christain Bale Batman or Heath Ledger Joker in the flesh. Which has details down to the pores of the skin... And pretty much any major character or actor is available in this format.

We're starting to trend this way with the Buck Rogers figures, and customs aren't that far behind in the 8" format.

[Tothiro]

Word. I'm keeping the "makin' 'em backwards" retro custom alive. So contrarian. Then again I only ever sold (1) Kingpin beyond the ToyFare contract. My heart wasn't in carving teak longbows like Charlee did.

[MEGO1]

OK Fellas,

Those of you who requested photos...Here they are...!!! On the 1st & Main post...!!!

Ahmed

[AJ Collector]

Great pictures, some figures stand out over others......Morbius is outstanding!

[ScottA]

I always did like your Shazam and those gauntlets you made for him.

[MEGO1]

no ron, but maddmoz asked me to post this for him, as he has no interest in re-establishing an account.

Hi, MadMozz here been a long time since Iv posted or even cared to look on these boards ( yes I know Megos & yes if Mego made it I had it several times over, boxed carded & loose) Anyway Greg sent me the link & I just could not help myself.

I want to point out that looking at some of the more recent customs I like a lot of the work being done it has come a long way since the Flatt hey days of 1998/2000 & damn a lot of the current work looks amazing! I think its fair to say from looking at the Batman figures they have some very Flatt like features & I assume like any good artist Charlees body of work had some influence on the new customs figures, I am not taking sides in this Flatt vs other custom figures as there is no real way to say which figure is better ( some people like the new Star Wars movies some like the original ...who's right?) I do want to note that I understand what Ahmed is saying in terms of a certain look that Flatts had when Charlee was at the top of his game no matter what they are worth today the figures still look great & 10/12 years later the quality of workmanship & Flatt style still holds up in my opinion.(

I have a toystore & people are still blown away by the Joker I have) I talked to Greg about his offer to Ahmed & I know it was sincere & more then fair based on what Flatts bring today however from what I can tell from the posts it seems like Ahmed really does not want to part with the figures it was more of a go fish type of situation which I think most of us can understand " hey if I get crazy money great, if not I keep my Flatts & go to work on Monday & no big deal I love em so its all cool. That's just my take on the current situation & I don't think either Greg or Ahmed is wrong. I would like to point out that its a damn shame that Charlee had so much talent but was such a messed up dude, at one point he really was the king of customs & the sky was the limit, I mean just think about this he was turning down $1500 a figure at one point its just insane what happens to people, I know for a fact he got $900 a Joker & did 12/15 of them & still said it was not enough money for the work he had to do! I waited 4 months for a Daredevil figure & had to beg & pray for & hope he didn't take my $600 & run after that I was done , I sold all 37 figures at the high point of Flatt mania made a lot of $$$ & finished college. I wonder what Mr. Flatt is doing now? I would be willing to pay $100 a figure COD ...... of course.

HAVE A GREAT MEGO DAY

MADMOZZ :)

Frank, is a class act and as far as I am concered he is just like me when it comes to collecting...He is partially correct with regard to my sale...I won't sell if the price is not right but rest assured I am VERY burnt out on this whole deal with collecting customs...I discovered Chris M. and I was OVERLY excited to start getting figures from him...I spoke to him at length and actually ordered Green Goblin & Dr. Doom and I was supposed to get them in a few months...well the few months turned into a YEAR...he contacted me and appologized and said he would make time to get me a Goblin at least asap...that was 2-3 months ago and still NOTHING...I got my hopes up for nothing and it all started to remind me of the **** Charlee always put me through...I'm just fed up with talented people not being able to make time to be productive...Mozz is 100% correct...a smart diligent artist would make the most of his popularity and WRITE HIS OWN TICKET...!!! I'm seriously done and I will seriously sell for the right price...!!! And don't believe for one minute that these Flatts are or will be Worthless...thats rediculous and untrue...and also don't think Charlee isn't still making them...he is still making them...he just doesn't tell us and he keeps his customers quite as well...!!! Once he burns a bridge so to say he kinda doesn't want to talk to you ever again...Still owes me a $600 3D-Man I paid for Years Ago...!!!

[Anarchy]

trust me man Charlee is not making figures, he was hurting for cash a few months back. and refused any offer we made and refused to make figures. the last figure he made was zombie uncle sam on my site for himself

[ScottA]

Alright, heres the deal. We are not bashing Charlee here. We are not bashing people who collect, buy or sell Flatts. We are not bashing those who don't. This thread is about selling a collection. Those interested pm Ahmed. Those not, move along.

[AJ Collector]

pm sent......

[piecemaker]

Awesome customs! I like Morbius and that Deadpool is killer!!!

[Anarchy]

yea that morbius and deadpool is pretty kick butt

[pmwasson]

Those figures are very impressive! Thanks for the pictures.

[MEGO1]

I have been getting a lot of people requesting individual figures...I would prefer to sell as a collection but I will entertain offers for individual characters...!!! PM me your offers and I will decide what to do...!!!

[Anarchy]

here we go again.. pm sent.

[AJ Collector]

I sent a pm on the lot?

[gummi]

As a new member here, I've only heard the name Flatt in passing. I had no idea of all the controversy they would stir up. I almost made you an offer on the Daredevil figure when I first saw this post, not because it was a Flatt, just because I've always wanted a custom Daredevil. I'm glad I waited because now that I've read this entire thread, my offer would have been incredibly embarrassing. :sarky:

[Megospidey]

Ahmed, you asked earlier in the thread if anyone had any of Cap Mego's figures...I have his Green Goblin and I love it.
He was building this on a mego body (slimmer) and I asked him to use his "hero" body - which he obliged. So as far as
I know, it's the only GG he's made on this body...

I'm partial to your Goblin figure, Megospidey, and Type3Toy's Spider-Man is top notch, too.

In the background, the golden-age, Ross-like Superman is by Captain Mego. It's excellent.

[J.B.]

Personally, I couldn't care less about Flatt customs; I'm just digging the fact that I got to read fresh posts from two of the early Mego gods. Ahmed and MadMozz were cornerstones of one of the earlier Mego Boards that I joined years ago. Ahmed's collection was museum worthy and MadMozz was always ready to throw-down some serious cash when it came to the ultra rare pieces that popped up back in the day; plus he was ready to defend his purchases tooth and nail to anyone that questioned them. :yeah:
Not to mention a cameo appearance from the Black Joker himself (Lou M.).

Thanks Gents for the quick Time Machine ride. :smile:

Yes definitely 2 of the most memorable crash and burn Mego collectors of all time.

[Type Two]

Yes definitely 2 of the most memorable crash and burn Mego collectors of all time.

LOL! I've really been enjoying your takes on these posts, Stabilio. Wisdom is rarely appreciated.

[Anarchy]

Hi I am a little confused as to what Stabilio means in terms of crash & burn, Ive known MOZZ for almost 25 years & he has never stopped collecting toys & I know for a fact that both he & Ahmed were collecting Megos long before this board ever existed and both collections were at one time among the best in the world, I am not making this up one day I went to Franks house & he had 3 boxed sharks & two of the 3 Ralph GAH figures plus two sets of Alter Egos in a case that was just amazing to see.

Ahmeds collection speaks for itself (which if I am correct I think the Hamburger man still holds the record for getting 12k for his set of Alter Egos) Both of these guys were passionate about there Mego collections & I can't speak for Ahmed but I know Frank still loves toys & if you ever get a chance to drop by his store (ITSATOYSTORE) I think it shows as the place is just so flippin cool!

I still have way too many TOYS, Sideshow & Bowen Statues, Comics, Cards, Arcade Games, Trade Paper Backs, Posters, Original Art, Megos, Star Wars, Heroclix, Vs System, Magic the Gathering, D&D Minis, Star Wars Minis, Action Figures Galore, can you believe I even started collecting the Tonner 18 inch DC Super Chicas-...hmmm am I missing anything...??? Probably a bunch and thats just my House...!!! My Restaurant/Gaming/Comic Venue ONLY has a $100,000 inventory and does not include the BURGERS :) hahaha...If that doesn't show my love and devotion to collecting I don't what does...!!! :) Peace out

[boss]

who valued the inventory... you or the real world? :wink_y:

[Robin NY]

wow, this thread is GREAT, history is always valuable and this whole Charlee FLatt has great twists and turns, guys from that era continue to chime in

[MEGO1]

who valued the inventory... you or the real world? :wink_y:

Ok ok real world Value the inventory might only be $60K...haha what can I say...I'm a businessman...!!! :spin:

[MEGO1]

Honestly, I have just about replaced my love of customs with High End Statues like Sideshow Statues for instance...They are high quality and many are limited and I can get my FIX whenever I need it...Its a hell of a lot better then waiting on Charlee or Chris...!!! The only problem with the Statues is space...they are all so BIG especially the Sideshow statues which are HUGE...!!! Who else on the board enjoys Statues...???

[Hector]

I have some Superman statues (I only collect Superman stuff)...but up to now...no Sideshow.

But I'll have my first one pretty soon...I pre-ordered this one...

Superman / 12 inch Figure - Sideshow Collectibles (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=9013901&ref=search&9013901)

:smiley13:


Show us some of your Sideshows!

:yes: :biggrin:

[AJ Collector]

I have the complete line of Bowen mini statues, about 100 busts and a few of the full size pieces......Space is an issue for me as well, the mini statues are the perfect scale, it's a shame Bowen lost the contract for that size.
Either that or they figured they would make more on full size pieces and that's what they told us......

[Dark Shadow]

I have several of the Sideshow PFs, but mostly collect Sideshow, Hot Toys & Medicom RAH 1/6 figures...which take up quite a bit of space as well.

[Type Two]

I really enjoy the statues, too. That new Bowen Thor with the spinning hammer piece...wow.:drool_y:

[draconianguard]

Yeah, I can't wait to see constipated looks on all the customs, just like Charlee does. :smiley1:

I just LOL'd!:grin:

[WannabeMego]

Shouldn't this thread be moved to another forum...it seems to have evolved from it's original intent of selling Flatts...?

yup thats it unfortunitly we were not able to make a deal. i offered 6000.00 for the lot, heck myself and another buyer here went up to 7k for the lot.

I also offered $4500.00 for the entire top row.

If I was into Flatt's and had the cash...I'd jump at the top row as well...all of them are awesome.

The lower row is nothing but different variations of Batman...kinda overkill if you ask me...I mean the blue, black, and gray Batman's are awesome...but I'd pass on the white and red ones.

yeah man, im right there with you. the red and white ones i could care less about

I wanted to thank everybody for their input on this thread, but after a long and drawn out negotiation we couldnt come up with a price we could agree upon. I still think my offer of 6k was fair based on current market conditions. Ahmed decided to put these on ebay and i wanted to wish him the best of luck on the sale.. I was torn on buying this collection and a hulk #1. I think I know what direction im gonna go in now. Again best of luck Ahmed it was nice talking to you after all these years. :)

[jackson5677]

$444.50 per figure.......good luck.....:smiley1:

[Brue]

444.50 per figure for certain figures - certainly. they are art. they hold a place in mego post history. they are great customs. people who love a certain one can cough up 444.50.

you have to be bloomin mad or rich to buy the lot for that

[jackson5677]

Brue.....I agree they are Amazing Custom figures......but trying to sell them as a lot isn't going to work........I would buy or bid on a few, but not all of them at those prices.

[AJ Collector]

Thats where his problem comes into play, most want the same 6 or so figures and then he is stuck with the, dare I say......weaker Platt figures.

Between ebay and paypal fees, he would get less than what you and the other buyer offered him if the lot sold for 8k.

[TheBigToyAuction.com]

So in summary, this thread was basically a waste of everyone's time, even the potential actual buyers, which you have managed to irritate. Nice. Seems like too many of these, lately.

I actually enjoyed reading a lot of this, since I got to see some neat pictures of these and there were some interesting links with a lot of history. I have no plans to buy this, as it's just not my thing, but it certainly wasn't a waste of time for me. Your mileage may vary.

[NewForce]

Between ebay and paypal fees, he would get less than what you and the other buyer offered him if the lot sold for 8k. ebay fees cap at $100 and paypal fees could be nothing if the buyer offered "cash"...or, even if paid paypal, at 8K, ahmed would still net more than $500 more via an opening ebay bid than a 7K offer.... but they are his figures to do with as he pleases!

[kresge1]

Wow..how did i miss this thread! As an avid custom collector i can say that Charlee was the best customizer for his time, he was ahead of his time, his eye for detail and the finer details that were not normally a concern for customizers was amazing ( he must be OCD for sure..LOL) but that was over 10 yrs ago. Many customizers of today have surpassed his scultping, body formation, his sewing, but his details can still hold up today . As a matter of fact..his customs still hold up today against the current crop of customizers..the proof is this thread alone and others like it...Everyone compares customs to Charlee's thats the proof right there..the man was ahead of his time.. Had minor dealing's with Charlee himself..most of my figues were purchased through middle men, but i have no negative comments towards the man..just respect

[kresge1]

Ahmed
You have not changed at all..still a bag of wind, but that was always your game. At least your consistent. I wish you well with your auction, it might make me dust of my Flatt's as well

[thunderbolt]

And reading apparently isn't your strong point either: my ID has two "e"s in it, but I know what you meant and I've heard it before, be more original when you insult me, give me something I haven't heard before yet.
Go ahead and keep ****ing off the community, the only people that might actually give you close to what you think these are worth. Your a class act :applause:

Jim, those were mass produced by Flattworld before it went out of business.

The ones that Ahmed are selling are much more limited, were made by Charlee Flatt himself and cost a whole lot more when they were made. However, the demand for them today is, well, flat...especially at the price Ahmed wants for his figures.

[Man of Action]

Worst thread ever!:please_y:

[JRoug]

Pretty funny/sad thread. I'm a serious Flatt collector myself, with 25+ in the collection. I'm well aware that most are not worth what I paid for them anymore, but I'm not looking to sell them and I'd still pay above market value for ones I want.

That said, there are so few in the market (or people are looking for too much $$$ for them - cough, cough) that I no longer look aggressively. I just noticed this thread today, after all!

I'm a prime target for Flatt sellers, but there are only 3 here that I don't have or want (I have two Batmen already and zero interest in the other variations, nice as they are). I'd never pay for all of them to get three, then lose money unloading the rest. That's the reality of the marketplace for this type of deal. Can't blame him for going fishing, but some of the comments were really condescending.
