7-11 MONSTER Slurpee Cups!

[hhwolfman]

I remember these cups quite well, paricularly the Marvel and DC versions, which fascinated me to no end...

Of the monsters, my favorite was a "swamp monster" of sorts ( a take-off of The Gill-Man, no doubt)...anyone remember that one? And if anyone has a photo of it, please post!

For your viewing Pleasure.

Hey GZilla...

Sorry it's taken m e so long to respond.  That 'zombie' is a figure from the toy line of the Steven Sommers MUMMY movie.
It's a mummy with a (strangely enough) pincher or grabber thingy poked in it's head.

Best of all...you can pull up his head all the way...exposing a long spine and watch his head slowly decend...mandible chattering all the way.
It's strange and I just couldn't help but get SOMETHING to represent the new Mummy films in my collection.
I even have one of each of the new monsters from Van Helsing.  They hang in their protective cases...dusty and forlorn.  A testiment to things that are better left alone. 
Like messing with designs of classic monsters.

LOL

Were The Mummy toys hard to find at the time?  I knew they made them, but I don't remember ever seeing them in stores.

one of my favorites in the Monster collection 

Now that's what I like to see. Anyone know how many Marvel or DC monsters were on these cups back in the 70's? I seem to recall having a few of them. Sadly I actually reused them way too many times and the images pretty much faded out.

Thanks for the info, Bogey!

Thanks for the info, Bogey!

Yea,thanks man. That's one hell of a list. For whatever reason I kept getting the same 6 or 7 cups one summer.

[werebeast]

Those are amazing! Especially the werewolf. I don't think I'd be able to bring myself to drink out of them though. I'd be afraid something would happen to them.

Wow, never knew there were that many. That is so cool.

[Wicked Lester]

Wow, never knew there were that many. That is so cool.

Now,go and try to find them all...in NICE condition.

[Bogey]

I tried once.  Had 30 or so....really looked nice on the shelves., especially the Marvel ones.  But like many collections I sold them along with my comic collection and started a new one....monsters.

Impossible, I bet? On occasion I see some on eBAY. But, very few.

I like this cup, I want one!

It can be done, I believe.  The problem I ran into was that I had to start buying a lot of 5-6 to get one or two I needed.  Then there was the condition problem.  They have something called a ring line that is caused by just keeping them stacked over years.  If you could look past this, then you may put together a decent set.  There were a number of these that I never saw in the two years or so I collected, but it would be a collection that you would have to do a search every few days.  However, even if you do not complete a set, a partial set is pretty stinking cool.

Condition is a factor. The Dracula cup I purchased(posted picture above)I was fortunate, no cracks, lines, fading or yellow/aging. The previous owner took really nice of the cup, and so am I. I couldn't believe when I first received the Dracula cup, what splendid/amazing condition.  Like the 7-11 cup was never used, or maybe the cup went through a time-warp? Lol!!!! Oops!!!! Did just start another thread?  "Time-warps and vintage toys"
