Marx Monsters

Here is proof that the lime green repops were indeed made by PlastiMarx (Mexico) in the '70s. This is a link to an eBay listing for a factory case of them with the PlastiMarx name on the box.

Earlier in this thread some folks seemed to think the lime green ones were original Marx. This eBay listing proves they were made in Mexico by PlastiMarx. Too many of these have shown up on eBay over the years for them to be one of those wild scarce Marx colors that were advertised in the '60s (and maybe never made). Also, the lime green ones have excess plastic at the seams since the Mexican subsidiary (PlastiMarx) didn't have the quality control that Marx did.

I know, right?! How awesome. The box with little plastic Monster goodness.

This is the home of Fluffy's Mexican relative, Mullido. Careful removing that metal band! You don't want to make the coroner have to measure the bite marks!

Anybody seen HorrorHunter around here lately??

[Hepcat]

It seems he logged in to make post #615 at the top of the page but that's the last time he logged onto the forum.

Is there any way to find out, Mike? I mean, as a mod? If he just grew tired of posting thta's one thing....but I sure hope nothing has happened.

Nothing I can do that you can't. You can send him an email.

It seems Horrorhunter logged in very deliberately to make just that one post on August 12th but he'd stopped participating in his customary manner after July 28th. There wasn't anything board related (e.g. an argument) that might have prompted him to stop posting.

[Anton Phibes]

I talked to him. He's ok. He just doesn't post much anymore.
