That is truly fantastic. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Oh yeah!!
Sherlock Holmes is an odd choice to represent his legacy, but, hell, I'll take it.

I agree. Baron Frankenstein was his signature character, with Van Helsing a close second. I guess they wanted a dignified, respectable looking character for the stamp instead of a psychotic megalomaniac or ruthless vampire hunter. The stamp is great, but give me that powerful, crazy-as-hell, over the top Baron Frankenstein anytime.
I agree with your every word, HH, but I'm still glad they gave him a stamp.

Agreed. It's great,but a bit like giving Christopher Lee a stamp, yet dressing him in some weak Star Wars costume instead of his Drac cape. Weak.
