Shock monster history

[raycastile]

Ray, your Topstone collection is growing to archival levels - and you are dead on on your facts. It's not easy to sort through the numerous resculpts and re-releases of these masks. I admire your persistence and your singularly unique collection. Very cool man

-J

Thank you!

I'm getting down to the last few key pieces – Teenage Werewolf, Melting Man, Lagoon Monster and a couple others.  I'm closing in on "completing" my "archive."  It's always the last few pieces that are the toughest.

[img]I fell in love with the Shock Monster mask produced by Bump in the Night Productions a few years ago. I bought one for several friends for Christmas. It doesn't have rooted hair, but appears to be based more on the artwork used to advertise the mask than the actual mask itself. The colors are vibrant and the bright blue hair is amazing to look at.[/imghttp://www.flickr.com/photos/37542886(*at*)N08/4106298140/]

Again, I have apparently failed to post the Bump in the Night Shock Monster image correctly. What is the proper way to insert the url between the image brackets? Maybe some day I'll get lucky!

Your best bet..or easiest for me anyway is to create a photobucket account..its free. From there follow the simple directions to upload your photo from your PC to Photobucket.

Then you can "get codes" and html...it will generate the codes and say which code is recomended for what...thumbnails, forums, IM etc.

Choose the correct code, copy and paste in the reply area here...preview it to see if it comes up. If the text of the code comes up...you copied the wrong code, if you get your pic....whoa ho ho its magic!...Hope this helps ya out!

Great thread! I never knew that action figure existed, and those illustrations are fantastic!
I'm a complete freak for the Shock Monster, and while I don't have any vintage pieces, I'm pretty proud of my collection of newer versions.



I've posted these on a few other boards before, but I thought some of you here might enjoy these.

Grrrrrrreat collection of Franks & Shocks!

Isn't the vacuform mask a vintage piece?  It is really amazing.  The whole group looks great!

[BlackLagoon]

Wow Klung...that is a fantastic collection!! The Shock Monster stuff is amazing...I'll comment on your Frankenstien collection when I can find a good enough word!

What exactly is the Frankenstein directly in the middle?  Looks interesting.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that, that Frankenstien is the Frankenstien from the old Marvel Comic book...and if it is. 1. I'm awesome and 2. I would very much like to get my hands on one!!

Thanks guys! I'm glad you dig my Shocks as much as I do!
Yes, the vacuform is vintage, but it's been repainted, so it doesn't really count...

The Frankenstein you asked about is indeed based on the Mike Ploog Frankenstein from Marvel comics.
It was made by my good friend, the very talented Rich "Dahone" Krusell.

Here's a better look.

You had a bad URL for your pic. It took a few tries, but I finally found it. I went to the largest size, right clicked on it, and copied the URL from there. Hope that helps.
