OK- here's a couple weekly finds, the first is a 6" soft plastic WHITE gorilla, it is like a squeakie toy with no squeaker.  I first was watching it on ebay, and it closed with no bids at $2.95, and I felt an overwhelming sense of loss.  When it was re-listed, I bid to win, and won it for $15.50 in quite heated bidding including an attempted last second snipe.  It has no markings whatsoever, and no indication of origin or year.  I am guessing 70s.  Would appreciate any comments or info on this....


Next I have a 1998 RKO King Kong ornament, abt 5" tall, MIP .  I think a friend who worked for paramount back then gave me a big box of stuff including a bunch of Star Trek stuff and 3 of these.  Is this worth anything?  I might look for the others.

The white gorilla is the Abominable Snowman from the old G.I. Joe set.

Yep, he was also cast in black as the Pygmy Gorilla from another Adventure Team set.

Unbelievable, I should have known that though...I though I had a vague recollection of that guy from somewhere....god bless the UMA for being such an incredible resource of knowledge and wisdom.  I am eager to hear info and comment on the kong ornament.   Thanks!

Indeed, the UMA is a knowledgeable crowd! I recall having the black version of that gorilla, and my mom used it as King Kong to decorate one of my birthday cakes. But as a foe for the much-taller GI Joe, he was rather disappointing!

I remember another G I Joe Adventure team set with a mummy inside a green sarcophagus,I have one packed away somewhere.

I bought a couple of those Kong ornaments back when they came out. Here's a photo of mine.
I think they made another ornament that just said "King Kong" on it,too, but I didn't buy that one.

FINALLY! I've been wanting a SSE Dracula for a long time. Last week, I came across a great deal MIB at my price range, he arrived on Saturday. This is not his regular home, that is on a shelf in my closet (until I have my man cave). This is my only Sideshow and I'm thrilled to have Drac.



I got these two last summer but never posted a photo. They are an original '61 Frank and a '62 Drac, I absolutely love them. I painted Frank in October and Drac over the winter. You can't see in the photo, but I was going for that cheesy 70's vampire bluish dead skin tone for Drac. He ended up a little too blue. I may repaint him before Halloween. I also ditched the grassy field look in lieu of shades of darkness over a graveyard look. These were my first models in decades, just having fun. Again, not their display home.



Thanks for looking!

Thanks OG, I see they are addictive. Now I'm thinking a SSE Nosferatu would make a perfect pair...Good luck with your Creature hunt...
