got mine today (SSE), really love it! hope to find the bride soon.

What would make this look ten times better. If you take a piece of black yarn put it around the collar of the cape and then under the arms and tied around the back. That's how Lugosi had his cape attached. You can completely hide the gold chain.

many thanks for the advice! I didnt fully understand (my bad) do you have a pic of that, I googled it but nothing came in mind

If you take the piece of yarn and bring it around the back of the collar of the cape like you would tie a neck tie. Once it's around the collar bring the yarn under his armpits and then tie it in a knot right in the back. This should keep the cape in place and it eliminates the use of the chain.

I know its not "movie accurate"...but I like the chain. I sure aint gonna trifle with the thing. Its too expensive to customize.

I don't remove the chain I just hide under the cape.

So I did some alterations probably because I plan to keep the figure forever. So I cut the thread that held his tailcoat so I would be able to adjust it. I removed his medallion it just didn't look right. Then I fold the shawl on his waistcoat and got rid of the horrible gold string and replaced it with a black string.

That looks amazing. At first I couldn't tell what you did. You really brought him even more to life. The gold string always did seems a little off. Great figure and a timeless classic to keep forever.
