The flats because they are the cheapest.

I love them all too! I need more! MORE!!!! MORE!!!!!!
the green gorgo is one of my favorites. And I like my blue IT,even with his slight mismold. makes him more unique.
the little flats are cool too, Im lucky enough to have found 3 white ones.
and my butterscotch frankie was a good find(the camera flash makes it look more yellow than it is in person)

Mirabile dictu,don't you agree?

Originally, I believe that the flats were issued in monster candy bags during the 60's.  There have been re-pops or a large warehouse find dating to the 90's, however.

My favorite is It, followed by Gorgo.  It is just so strange to see mass-produced toys of either character.  Especially toys made close to the time of the films' original release.  Gorgo was 61 and It was 58.

I recently watched "It, The Terror from Beyond Space" for the first time.  It is amazing that that monster made the list.  Would have loved to have seen "The Thing from Another World" as a Palmer monster.
Grrr...

I would like to have seen "The Monster of Piedras Blancas" as a Palmer.

So many people liking the Palmer Creature seems strange to me - Palmer made him so skinny.

A Mole Man, Metaluna Mutant or a Saucerman from "The Invasion of the Saucermen" would have been even better.

If it weren't for the subtle hair, the Palmer "Wolf Man" would have made a better Ygor or Mr. Hyde figure.
