Considered the first animated series of the sitcom genre (a comic series with sketches and familiar situations), The Flintstones was originally aired between the years of 1960 and 1966, made both for adults and families, transmitted in prime time. Presenting the day-to-day of a Stone Age Middle-Class family, the stories were set in the city of Bedrock, where The Flintstones, and their neighbors and best friends, The Rubbles, lived an urban routine of fantasy reality in the past, interacting with extinguished animals that acted like machines and household items, in a cultural parody of the 1960s in the 20th century, where they listened to records, lived in houses, went to restaurants and clubs, but had to live with primitive technology, powered by animals and made with rustic materials like stone, wood, and fur, or propelled by their force, like the cars moved by its occupants’ feet.
With a smile on his face, he prepares to throw his “rocky” bowling ball, balancing himself on his tiptoes, impressively for his robust size. Ready for his master play in the hobby he loves, Iron Studios present the statue “Fred Flintstone – The Flintstones – Art Scale 1/10”, with the chief of the most famous prehistoric family from the cartoons. Fred Flintstone is the protagonist of the series and patriarch of the family. Wilma’s husband, Pebbles’ father, and Barney Rubble’s best friend. Saying his most famous and iconic catchphrase “Yabba-Dabba-Doo” when he’s excited, Fred is an altruistic good-hearted man, although when he is angry, he shows impulsive, childish, naïve, and cranky behavior. A typical crane operator working in a quarry, he is an expert bowling player and member of the Water Buffaloes brotherhood, and even though he’s talkative, sometimes offensive, and apparently antisocial, Fred constantly seeks ways of improving his and his family’s working-class life, but he also has the talent of always getting into trouble.
Flexible and agile, the small caveman prepares himself with his rustic golf club to deliver his play. Focused but also relaxed with his tongue out, he keeps his eyes on the ball, ready to send it straight to the hole. Thus, Iron Studios present the statue “Barney Rubble – The Flintstones – Art Scale 1/10”. Cheerful and casual, Barney is Fred Flintstone’s neighbor and best friend. While Fred is constantly seeking ways of getting rich, Barney thinks his life is good just the way it is but ends up participating in Fred’s plans and schemes because of their friendship bonds. Caring and dedicated to his wife Betty, and a loving father for his adoptive son Bamm-Bamm, Barney is often good-natured, although sometimes sarcastic while making jokes with his friend, and occasionally losing his temper with Fred. Barney likes bowling, snooker, poker, disturbing Fred’s garage and principally playing golf. He’s also a member of the Water Buffaloes brotherhood and an operator in the same quarry where Fred works.
Delicate and charming, Fred’s beautiful red-haired wife amazes herself with “Doozy’s” fun ability to speak, her Dodo bird in the perch next to her, that was an anniversary gift given to her by her husband until it repeats and reveals Fred’s plans of going hidden to a Water Buffaloes convention. Thus, Iron Studios present the statue “Wilma Flintstone – The Flintstones – Art Scale 1/10”. Expert housewife and Pebble’s loving mom, Wilma is obstinate and balanced in her marriage, frequently she is the voice of reason to Fred and his ill-fated plans, and often she is her support, saving the clumsy husband when one of his schemes puts him in danger. Just like Fred, Wilma has the neighbor Betty Rubble as her best friend since their youth. Wilma’s mom, Pearl Slaghoople, always visits the family, bringing constant annoyance to Fred, representing the comic and universal conflict between the mother-in-law and the son-in-law.
With a shy smile on her face, Barney’s elegant, good-looking, and slim wife walks with her inseparable blue dress, moving like she was in a catwalk, Iron Studios bring the statue “Betty Rubble – The Flintstones – Art Scale 1/10”. Young and pretty, Betty is as good-natured as her husband Barney and is considerably smarter. Wilma Flintstone’s best friend, Betty is an excellent housewife and caring mom to her adoptive son Bamm-Bamm. Together with her friend, she likes volunteering in many Bedrock Women Charity Organizations, shopping, and (occasionally) meeting the celebrities of her world. The Rubbles never had their own children, that’s why they have adopted Bamm-Bamm legally and permanently.
Galloping and jumping in a fun way, the lovable dinosaur dog with purple fur carries on its back the small and protected babies, having fun with them both, the small red-haired girl steering her lovely pet holding its leash, while her best friend in the rump, overflows in joy with a cute smile, closing his small eyes and raising his inseparable club. Thus, Iron Studios present the statue “Dino, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm – The Flintstones – Art Scale 1/10”. Loyal, protective, playful, and heartwarming, Dino is a dogasaurus (a dinosaur that acts like a dog) of purple skin, the pet of the Flintstones family. Always euphoric, Dino displays nearly human emotions and loves to play with the children. Fred and Wilma’s daughter, Pebbles is cute, kind, sweet, playful, and very energetic, she spends most of the time with Bamm-Bamm, Barney and Betty’s adoptive son, a white-haired boy gifted with an incredible super-strength, which often puts him in trouble and funny situations.
To this day, this “Stone Age modern family”, created by the legendary duo William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, was seen in more than 80 countries in the world, being the first animated series nominated to the Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series and principally, is the series responsible for Hanna-Barbera Production’s transformation in one of the largest studios in Hollywood. Their collection of statues is already available for Pre-Order by Iron Studios to the joy of fans and collectors all over the globe, individually available, they were revealed on Inside Iron Studios Day.
