- 2005 Gemmy Prototype Count Cool Cat, Watch Spinning Vampire, Swingin' Drac, Zoot Suit Vampire, whatever you choose to call him, here he is. Fully restored after much time and effort for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy
Impressive
This has my full blessing.
Can't wait to see it with my original vision for the song, "Stray Cat Strut."
Excellent work.
Mr. Ford, I never thought I would ever get the chance to say this, but thank you! You probably get comments like this a lot, understandably, so hopefully this doesn't bother you. As a Halloween enthusiast who has evaluated and experienced props for years and years, the props that you helped voice and create are some of the best ever made, and have had a positive (and scary) impact on many people's lives. I hope all is well for you and your family! Cheers!
@@scaretactics4489 - of course it bothers me. How dare you compliment me and make me feel good! Remind me later to not say, "Thank you very much, this means the world to me," and block you. I would also wish you well and again, not thank you, but my time is entirely too important for such trivialities.
:)
@@clintford3059 Hmph, well I never! I love that response, LOL😂😂😂😂
@@clintford3059 I have been informed that you have sent people some of your HQ recording’s that you have done for Gemmy Industries. And you have done an absolutely fabulous job on everything and I don’t understand how you can sound so amazing and accurate. And I know that you did the voice for Count Vigor. Do you happen to have the background music from Count Vigor? Because I have wanted to hear it without any words, not because your voice is annoying because it is far from it, but I just love the background music so much and I have wanted to hear it since the first time I heard your amazing voice in 2007. I know I am asking for a lot but do you also have the HQ audio for the Witch Spirit Ball too? I would love to hear it. I hope that you read this it is a honor to be able to talk to you you are absolutely amazing.
I love the Gemmy Zoot Suit stuff, such a good design and so many good concepts. It’s a crime this guy never made it to shelves.
Incredible job, can't even tell he was left to rot.
Amazing repair, as usual. I can’t believe that the final product is the same thing that was on the castles floor, faded, damaged, and dirty.
What a happy ending to such a sad story. Incredible work as always, this is something to be proud of.
This is one of those items that looks like it was pulled straight out of a cartoon. Remarkable!!! Spectacular job restoring him. It's crazy that that's the actual board they decided to put in him for prototyping, but thriller oddly fits👌
As usual, a terrific job by CJ Webbler. Gifted hands used to do incredible work. Could not have ended up in better condition!
This has got to be one of the best restorations of a Gemmy item I've ever seen! Considering he was literally a vampire left out in the sun when you got him compared to how he is now. Excellent job CJ!
It's too bad this guy was never released. I love the retro look he has. He would've complimented swingin skelly well.
Good thing there was no garlic present, that would have done him in for sure!
Awesome repair! I really love this items design. I think the way they did the mouth was cleaver.
Wow, what a facelift! I’m certainly loving how vibrant his colours are now compared to how faded he was initially. Spectacular job!
This is just epic, I’m so glad he’s in the right hands. It’s so sad to see him destroyed & left in the sun like that.. Amazing repair. Cherish him.
An additional thought: I am convinced this item never sold because the original song, "Stray Cat Strut," was likely deemed too expensive to license -- and the Powers that Be went with the inexplicable decision to use the cheaper "Thriller" -- which made absolutely NO sense for a "big band"-type zoot suit-wearing character. Had we paid a bit more to make the music right, I think this would have sold quite well.
If the voice or music isn't right, the character isn't right. I strongly feel the final music selection was the death knell for this item.
But hey. What do I know? :)
It clearly isn't a licensing issue since Gemmy made other items wiþ þat song th-cam.com/video/ffSazZVjqaI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Wi6Gk6c1UX6nxy0G
Its truly magical how you were able to restore this cool guy back to his former glory!
This one is extremely cool, the design is just so unique and love how it looks, interesting how it was gonna spin bats too in the early prototype, also woah a older bunny spinner, never knew they were gonna make one back then. Wonder what it would’ve played
I’m,pretty sure it might sing Peter cottontail
@@360101 nah it def would have singed snowmiser obv
What an amazing restoration. Really interesting watching it all unfold here. It’s really great one of these has surfaced.
Great job! The hard work definitely paid off.
Looks amazing! Good job
Incredible restoration, can’t even tell it was restored to its original glory! Very curious about that bunny too
Beautiful restoration
This is AMAZING!!! You did an amazing job not only finding this, but restoring it aswell. This is a great piece of Gemmy history right here!
I’m happy that when a poor condition item turned into new condition again
So Awesome wish it was released
They made a carrot spinning Easter bunny?!
This is amazing though 👍
great job man! looks great!
I just watched your freaky geek video similar to this one earlier today. What a coincidence. Nice job fixing this guy up btw.
Amazing to see how much work you did to restore it. Truly an amazing prototype that should have been released
0:25 I do wish the carrot spinning bunny was released
Im legitimately surprised that this wasnt fried in the condition it was
Such a cool looking prototype! I wonder how many copies of this truly exist?
This is so cool to see the progress of concept to product and all the changes that were made! Also watching the restoration process was really cool.
Place thriller
Such an amazing repair! :)
Phenomenal work! Just when this thing seemed to have no hope left in its prior state, you managed to bring it back to life as it once was! I'm thoroughly impressed!
8:51 The audio sounds like a freaky geeks monster
Good job
Amazing work, good job!
Imagine how he is worth
Was this ever released?
I’ve literally been waiting to see this in action for years! VERY nice restoration by the way! Also I have a question about the bunny spinner; is it a prototype, do you know what it sings, and are there any other ones or videos of it that exist?
The reference to the bunny in this concept art is all the info I have on it
@@CJWebbler btw are you a former Gemmy employee?
I am going to recreate the bunny prototype
Awesome I’m gonna make one I also did a hq audio
0:26 why is no one talking about the bunny it looks really cool
Actually I'm going to be recreating the bunny
Well done Micheal Jackson!!!!!!! Great job!!!!
How did it get so faded
I found the skeleton at a thrft store for like $5 :)
What is a castle shop? And how did you find this?
0:33 I wonder if that bunny is also a prototype?
Sad to see it does not have a prototype board if you compare the freaky geek frankenstein programming with this one it uses the same board and this board is a production model board
Hey CJ, I'm curious to know how you were able to re-program the Gemmy Scrooge. Would you be willing to divulge?
The Scrooge and the Santa were both done with Arduino, specifically Nanos, pain in the ass to program but overall pretty simple, just tedious.
@@CJWebbler Ah, gotcha. That was my experience with my Frank Sinatra project. How were you able to get sequential phrases to play?
@@ENTMan98 Had to define a few ints and then use IF statements eg, if phrase=1 play phrase 1, then set phrase to 2, ect ect
00:25 Carrot Spinning Rabbit?
8:51
I want to buy it
How did you get?
It looked like in the image of him busted off of the base there was a Dead Ed, what happened to him, if you know?
it was completely production, just destroyed by the elements
