Welcome back Drac. It's been a long time.

You should buy a Flatt casket and just display him in that - testament and evidence of a childhood memory. You can pick up another Drac more easily.

Great Story!!!!!!!!!!! I like the shadowbox idea. I think you can take pics of before and after with small childhood story hand written in between if you decide to restore it or display it as is. The one thing I agree with everyone on is this is a great opportunity to display a childhood memory.

You could always take pictures of him as he is now, fix him up and display the pics along w/ the figure and a brief synopsis of the story. That would make a great conversation piece!

Man! I can't believe the risk you're taking! His EYES STILL GLOW...... It's obvious to me that he's itching to come back to life!! Don't accidentally get ANY drops of blood on him. Put him back. Back in the ground. Don't even think about it. If you get any drops of blood on him..... and you bring him to Mego Meet....with ALL of us THERE!!!!! We're ALL in GRAVE DANGER! I shudder to think......... Does anyone have a Peter Cushing custom.....?

A few sacraficial Dinah Mites and he'll be golden.

I'd fix him. You'll still always have the story. Fix him and you have a long lost child hood toy back. Leave him and you have a few broken and dirty parts.

I like that sound of that, but then why bother to clean him. Put him in a Flatt coffin with some soil so that his head and leg are just poking out. That is the essence of this narrative after all. Also, isn't that what Vampires do in the movies, put some of their home soil in with their coffins.

Very true. Just my OCD butting in lol.

[Gorn Captain]

I want to know what happened to the rest of his body parts.
Did you scatter them to the four corners of the Earth, so he wouldn't return?

[Shanester]

I remember you talking about this a long time ago. Do the restore but keep as much original as you can. I got my T1 Spiderman out of the tree he got stick in after about 20 years. I had to get a new suit and one new arm, but he is restored.

[artskull]

That is a great idea to put your Drac in a CTVT or Flatt coffin with some of the soil from your home!

[clemso]

What a great story & discovery!

I wouldn't retore him: Just clean the remains gently & display them in a CTVT or Flatt coffin.

An amazing tale! My imagination is going wild picturing this!

[DocDrako]

This is one of the coolest threads ever. And I also vote to leave him as is and put him in some kind of clear coffin and write up the history. It would make a cool display in your home.

[tllgn]

keep as is in a display case,kinda like lucy or the ice man,and take a cttv drac and bury it,and have the next gen unearth it in another 35+ years and see how it holds up.or perhaps send it to the history channel,and tell them in a life after people episode (if they ever do another )a mego will still be there.

Dracula back from the grave, sounds like a Hammer Horror movie
