Iconic Monster Toy Art

Fabulous Jiggler box Matt. Have you had it long? Also, I love documenting just where these turn up.

Very undramatic. I won it off Ebay, just barely beating out our own poseablemonster, Andrew Wiliams. I don't think he has forgiven me for it, yet.

But he will.... soon...

All is forgiven, Matt...how could I stay mad at mug like you?

I think I remember when you won that jiggler box, Matt.  If I didn't say it then, I'll say it now: Congratulations!  That is a great AHI treasure.

I need to google up an image of this Naschy poster so I can see what you are talking about.  If the AHI Wolf Man art is Naschy, that will give me a whole new reason to appreciate those toys.

Oh man, that Frazetta painting is my favorite of all his work! Nice! It'd be great to have a poster of that!

Thanks to Terry’s labors with Photoshop, I was able to make myself a miniature Target Game. It’s about eight inches square, just the right size for Big Frankie to play with:

That Karloff game is one of my favorites as well, I love looking at mine in the display case. I also love the box art on the Godzilla and Kong board games. Sadly I don't own the Kong game...yet.

I'd have to go with the Aurora Monster kits and the Jaymar puzzles.

I second your nomination of James Bama's box art on the Aurora monster model kits:

Mort Kunstler also did a lot of incredible box art for Aurora including these monsterrific renderings:





Kunstler also did the absolutely fabulous box art for the Mad Mad Mad Scientist Laboratory:

Has anyone determined who did the artwork on the SPP wallets?

Lost to history, as far as I know. Same with the Hasbro art.

When I owned the original art for them I tried to find out, never could.  They were really colorful with much detail, without a doubt they were probably my favorite pieces.   With all the other illustration art I once owned by well known names of artists, these 6 pieces were tops.

You owned the original wallet art!? When and where did you get them? What size were they?
