Toy Fare 2012 is Feb 12-15. Roughly 5 weeks. I'm guessing that the two new monsters for this year will be revealed then. Got my fingers crossed for Creature from the Black Lagoon, & Bride of Frankenstien. But whoever gets released, I'm sure they'll be great. I'm counting it down....

Does anybody have a group pic of all the current retro Universal Monsters - but also with the Charlee Flatt Dracula? How does he fit in with them?Comment

OK - Here's a few shots I took for ya. CrimsonGhost mentioned the difference in head size. Here's the difference:
Here he is with the gang at a small distance. At the distance, the head-size difference is not a big deal:
Here he is at a Monster convention out on the rocks...
The Flatt Dracula is a really great figure IMO. The outfit is fantastic. I think the Flatt Drac, even with the head-size difference, fits in great with the re-Megos. Its just when you hold the figure up close, and especially when you compare two figures together, that the head size looks off.....Last edited by galaxyexplorer42; Feb 1, '12, 12:13 AM.Galaxy ExplorerComment

Wow. Just. Wow. Thank you so much, Galaxy! Those are some great shots.
Tough call. The EMCE Dracula is definitely more fun, friendly, and colorful, but the Flatt one comes with a coffin, is a bit more detailed and has more Lugosi going on. His costume does make his head look smaller though. I guess it's good to have options. Hm...Comment

Yea Gold. Don't get me wrong. The EMCE Drac is the way to go. Through & through. The monster-y figures are my favorite re-Megos, (if ya couldn't tell by the shots)! Cast-A-Way just had the Flatt Drac cheap, so I picked one up. I absolutely prefer the EMCE over the Flatt, but ya just can't have enough Monster-y Megos, no matter what character it is!
In two weeks, we'll know who the next two EMCE/Diamond Monsters are gonna be. I'm pulling for The Creature from the Black Lagoon & Bride of Frankenstein. How bout you?Galaxy ExplorerComment

Hey Galaxyexplorer42, I like that bluish tinted Dracula in your photos. Where did that head come from?Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

CrimsonGhost- Good eye. That is actually a complete Flatt Drac with a custom head, made by one of the forum members here. I figured I'd throw that one into the mix as well.....Galaxy ExplorerComment

I'd love to see the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Bride of Frankenstein, but a Phantom of the Opera would be pretty sweet, too.
