I found a section in Vintage for latest finds but I couldn't find one here. (If there is one, and i missed it just merge this into it.)
So today i got my Sideshow Invisible Man and the DVD so I hit TRU on the way home from the Dentist and picked up the DST version as well
(http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz286/Lantern2814_20850/IMG_0314_zps4377527a.jpg)
Here's Sideshow IM with his brothers in chronological order (I don't have any of the other DSTs just yet.)

Awaiting my Distinctive Dummies' Mego-style "Dracula, Prince of Darkness" figure. Before that, I got several 12" Dracula figures, and the McFarlane Toys MONSTERS Playsets Dracula.

Can't wait to see your Hammer Dracula. Great additions to your collection.
WOO HOO! Sideshow Phantom as Red Death arrived!

Agreed Quasi has just joined the group!

Just Got both DST Phantom's
(http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz286/Lantern2814_20850/IMG_0343_zps2b1e39b2.jpg)
pretty much the same figure twice Articulation's exactly the same on both. Masked version just has a different Head and instrument
Neither One is a BAD figure but I'd have preferred a Red Death over Masked (although it's going to be tough to beat Sideshow's red Death quality wise)
Your collection keeps getting better every day!

Courtesy of some very thoughtful friends on the UMA. Now, I can stage the never-made "Dracula vs. The Wolf Man" with JAKKS figures! :laugh:
I remember when these came out and I passed on them. Well now I want them. They are actually pretty well done IMO.

I've been waiting for this guy from Japan for a while now. Worth the wait! Love the paint scheme. Unfortunately, even though he was sealed in bag there is some paint missing inside of mouth. I think he makes a great fit with my Gyaos!

In the last few weeks I've acquired some great Creature stuff.
The Creature "Grave Walker"
The giant Amok Time Creature (arrived today!)
That new mask (forget the maker).
One of those resin "3D" CFTBL movie posters.
Great haul, Mike. The mask is from Forum Novelties and that great 3-D poster is from Code 3.

Very nice Marusan 1955 Godzilla and Angilas!! These look like 60s/70s figures but are actually newer-made in the late 90s/early00s by the new Marusan. Absolutelt gorgeous and a real steal at 40 bucks!!!

Nice Godzilla collectibles.
Are those all Marmit Para-Babies?
George
Yes, all 2001/2002. The three on the right are all from the movie Ghidorah. The other Zilla is the 55 suit from first movie. Ghidorah might be my favorite G movie, Showa era suits are the best, so these are my new favorite figures.
G-Fest XX was a total blast. Only my second G-Fest and in a geeky way I was honored to be at the 20th anniversary.
Here is my complete haul. Went a little over board but am happy with every purchase and got a great deal on everything.

Not sure if she's a monster, or just monstrous. Anyway, after seeing "Oz the Great & Powerful," I fell in love with Mila Kunis' delightfully evil Wicked Witch of the West, and just had to have her! However, she got a restraining order, so this is the best I could do!

That Count Yorga is a freakin' awesome figure. I display mine with some of my vintage monster toys. The box is narrow enough to find display room, whereas with the Sideshow figures the boxes take up too much room. I prefer in-box display, but when my Yorga was displayed loose when I was waiting for Martin to send me a replacement box, the figure looked coolashell and held a pose pretty darn good. Helluva figure. ;) :)
Incredible figure!!! Thanks, Martin and the gang at DD.

Congrats. Dennis Druktenis had that ish for sale in the back of Scary Monsters for awhile. Don't know if he still has any, but that's where I got mine. You're right, it is a toughie. That was the last one I needed to complete the run. I guess everyone tore it up to put up the posters, hence the scarcity.

Weighing in at around 130 pages plus per issue, Scary Monsters is the best monster mag value available. The way Dennis can give us all that content is printing his mag on cheap paper. I think he has the right idea. I prefer 2 to 3 times the content to slick, thick, paper. Of course the quality of the content is the most important thing. SM has the most interesting content as well IMO.
I agree. Scary Monsters gets my vote as well for the best of the current lot.

It appears Vlad Dracula was the only 12" figure in the line. They did Premium Format Figures of both Vlad and Blackbeard the Pirate, who was planned to be the second 12" figure.

I guess those were the only two they did. It's a shame, really, because their are so many notorious historical figures that would make great 12" figures. Sun Tzu, author of "The Art of War." Julius Caesar. Alexander the Great. Erik the Red. Of all the original character/historical figures Sideshow introduced in 2009, the only one still going is "The Dead," their original zombie line.

Amazing steal on that, Mike! If the seller were to have listed it under Telco or Motionette, it would have been three to four times higher! It never even crossed my feed.
Even with the frayed cord and without the box, this one would have sold for much more. Congrats!

I don't think the boxes are that interesting and wouldn't want to pay the extra for one. The cord is easy enough to fix, but I wonder what's wrong in the neck area. Looks like his head is coming off!
(http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/8079/51da.jpg)
Nothing is wrong with the neck, Mike. That's exactly how they were manufactured, except this one seems to have come up a little more than most. The hard plastic made it impossible for the neck to be connected to the body and still allow for smooth movement. You can play around with it yourself to make it look better, but it will probably affect the movement. In this particular case, the first step I would take would be to see if the upper body can slide up a few centimeters to cover the bottom portion of the mechanism. Either way, it should not be that noticeable in person and on display. :)

Yeah. That's one of the stock images used for the Creature Motion-ette. They always made them look better for the catalogs. Still, they are the best references out there -- especially for how the figures should look. In a lot of instances, the figures will be missing an accessory or they will have a different costume, so it's always nice to reference the retail images. It's not such an issue with the Universal line as it is with the earlier Motion-ettes.
The 17" one has a longer plastic neck that hides the mech.
Yeah. It still looks odd, though.

I have never used mine and it is still in the box.
Mike, the body on yours seems to sit about 1/2" lower than mine. The top of the body piece should be flush with the lower inner mechanism. Not sure if can be adjusted (I would think somehow it could) if you wanted to.
There is a total 1/2"-3/4" gap between the head and body, which appears exactly right for movement.

I have never used mine and it is still in the box.
Mike, the body on yours seems to sit about 1/2" lower than mine. The top of the body piece should be flush with the lower inner mechanism. Not sure if can be adjusted (I would think somehow it could) if you wanted to.
There is a total 1/2"-3/4" gap between the head and body, which appears exactly right for movement.
I'd probably say it's more like a 1/4". I think the picture makes it look worse than it is. Depending on the assembly on his, it may be as simple as scooting the upper body a tad.
My Mr. Bones has a similar problem, but with his feet. I tightened the bolts and he looked great.
Had a bit of a bumper haul over the last few weeks. Decided my Megostyle figures were lonely so picked up the
EMCE Frankenstein
EMCE Dracula
EMCE Mummy
Chris Jennings Dark Shadows Werewolf and repops of the Mego Mad Monsters. My favourite by far is the Chris Jennings Werewolf

Cool Hallowe'en decor.
Got a bunch of cool art prints from artist Bill Chancellor (http://www.artbybillchancellor.com/). He was having a "Bill needs to pay some bills" sale! Bought 5 prints, got a 6th for free. Check out his site for some great art. My favorite out of the bunch is this 3D print of "The Bride of Frankenstein" (3D glasses included).

Sadly I had to borrow for this weekend's garage sale haul, now I must post on ebay madly to pay back! Totally worth it though! :laugh:
I've been wanting to reclaim this Where the Wild Things Are set badly since I sold it years ago for grocery money. I found them this weekend for $5 each! Total score. They will be coming out of those boxes promptly for dancing and playing fun.

A neat set, great display boxes too.
Great set! How I miss the McFarlane glory days. Spawn, Movie Maniacs, and so many awesome in-house lines with great sculpting and perfect paint apps. How the mighty have fallen. Sloppy paints, limited releases, too much Halo, and a scale that doesn't fit in with any other lines. I still purchased their TWD stuff, but I've never really been happy with them.
Finally put a good day together!! 8)

An Imperial 80s 12in Godzilla, a China knock-off of the DorMei 13in Godzilla (with rare jointed hands and feet!), a blow mold troll from Spirt Store, one of those massive rubber Chinese dragons, a neat vintage wizard puppet, a bunch of Dragonology dragons to complete my set, and a really rare vintage rubber Hong Kong unicorn that's.... anatomically correct.

Those Frankenstein shelves would look good in any kid's room!
I didn't see the anywhere. Strange that no one here mentioned them last Halloween.
That would be a great place to display all the monster-themed edibles packaging from the past. Like Nabisco cookies, Kelloggs' Fruit Snacks, cereals, etc.
It would be great for Aurora kits (if the height works)! They don't weigh much. Maybe paste Aurora logos over the other brand names.
Models would work great in it! The shelves are pretty tall. The top shelf will hold the Sideshow 12 inch figure boxes and the other shelves will hold the 8 inch figure packages.

The shelves are sturdy enough to put collectibles on. Now it's time to fill him up! (http://imageshack.us/a/img545/1386/3ddb.jpg)(http://imageshack.us/a/img801/1430/o0mh.jpg)

No box or accessories, and he's glued to the base, but he was just ten bucks at Mad Monster Party in Charlotte, NC, this past weekend.

$20 at MMP. Hard to get him for less than that online, with shipping.

I'll be honest, I'm not very impressed by this figure. He was cheap enough, though, and he'll fit in with my Mego-style Christopher Lee Dracula by Distinctive Dummies.

Aw...another Satr. at my local Emporium of Oddities. Decided on these 2 fellas. Hoping one of you UMAers will know something about them.
First is what the lady at the Emporium called Creature from the Black Lagoon.....I don't think so, but thought it was cool. 12 1/2 inches tall, cries, moans and laughs. Bottom 1/2 is hard plastic...top 1/2 is jiggler type material. By Manley Toys ...and says Toy Quest. Any knowledge out there?
Second one has me scratchin'. He's a ride-on Dinosaur that looks to be battery op, but after much frustrating time I can't find a battery opening. Is this maybe a Dino for like He Man or someone to ride? Any idea how the batteries are accessed? 2006 by Mirage Studios Playmates Toys
The first one is one of the STRETCH SCREAMERS. This one is the Creature, but obviously just a CFTBL wannabe.

The dino might be from that DINOTOPIA TV show?
I finally picked up the Friday The 13th: The Series complete DVD set the other day. I really like this show from the '80s. They just cashed in on the popularity of the Friday The 13th movies with that name, it really had nothing to do with them. I remember when it was rerun a few years ago on some network they called it "Friday's Curse". Pretty cool show.

Using the established Friday the 13th moniker is also what killed the show; groups that had no clue as to what the show was about just assumed Friday meant teens drinking, doing drugs and fornicating in between being randomly picked off by Jason. Advertisers gave in to idiotic pressure and fear and started dropping their commercials, at the time of the shows cancellation it was the 2nd rated syndicated show with Star Trek Next Generation coming in first! Much like the cast of The Munsters some 30 years earlier, the cast of Friday the 13th The Series were shocked when they got word that the series was so abruptly over.

Dinoriders came out in 1988 and this is a 2006 toy. I first thought of dinoriders as well. With all of the reissuing of 1980s toylines I thought it could be some new version of them.
After a quick google search it appears to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy Allosaurus and Michelangelo Paleo Patrol.

I never watched the show - probably a result of seeing the title.
What other series did it most favorably compare to?

Here's the skinny:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th:_The_Series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th:_The_Series)
It was about two cousins, Micki (Louise Robey) and Ryan (John D. Lemay), who inherited an antique store which was owned by their uncle Lewis Vendredi who made a deal with the Devil (yeah, him again) to allow several items to be cursed and distributed into the world to spread chaos and evil. Micki and Ryan are helped by mystic expert Jack Marshak (Chris Wiggins) and spend the rest of the series trying to get back all of the cursed items and lock them in their vault for safe keeping.
Great show. They pushed the envelope on horror, violence, and sexy (w/Robey) for TV for the time. I watched it when it first ran, and in syndication. Really great DVD set of all three seasons, and cheap now- like 40 bucks cheap. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
Thanks!
The Vampire episode was one of my favorite hours of television ever.

Those prints would make perfect backdrops for most action figures. Gotta get a set (thanks, Ravenloft).
Those are nice and well worth the price.
Here is a Sideshow series two 8 inch Creature for scale (haha very pun-ny) if you guys are wondering just how big they are (https://scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/t1.0-9/10155814_10153241846018538_4426775383873855785_n.jpg)
I bought three sets. Of course mine have an extra signature because the artist was there in person at comiccon. Best monster grab so far at comiccon, I did pick up some sideshows and mini remcos but monster stuff seems scarce or overpriced. Still, the prints are a very nice find so I will call Comiccon a success for this monster fan. Oh I forgot Eddie Munster and Marilyn Munster were guests, most of the celebrities are Star Wars, Star Trek and Walking Dead actors all fun to meet this time.
Wow, those are big enough to serve as backdrops for both 8" & 12" figures. Nice!

They were really cheap on the website right before Christmas. I picked up all of the cars and both playsets for about half normal price with free shipping. I would have probably passed on them at full price.
Picked up a spare 10th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Replica at Toys 'R' Us, clearance priced. Would be nice to customize it into the 9th Doctor's version. The handle was slightly different in color, so it's strictly a paint-job, no monkeying around with extra doodads!

Depends on the bulb. If it is a full spectrum bulb it will work best.
But you don't really want full spectrum bulbs in display cabinets with old collectibles. The items looks nicer, but the sp bulb fades colors like sunlight. Best stick with the ugly white light.
They will glow with any light - just not very brightly.
Now you really
must collect the milky white Creature. It looks better in natural light.

Yeah, but they usually ask more than what a new one goes for now.
I picked up the 2014 Diamond Select Son of Frankenstein today. Was driving by a Toys R Us and thought I'd see what they had. Grabbed last SoF. I think it was $15.99. Last week I bought the McFarlane Alice Cooper---that's been on my radar for a while, so I finally grabbed it.
And i know they're not popular on this forum, but I picked up set of the Funko Universal Monsters. I agree the articulations are substandard, but I think the set looks real cool up on the monster wall.
Earlier in the summer i snagged a 2006 Bandai Rodan and 2013 Bandai Mechagodzilla.
I'll try to get up some pics soon.

I'm a huge Alice Cooper fan and that figure is way cool. I picked that up many moons ago when they first came out. I used to buy all of the McFarlane figures but ended up just keeping the Movie Maniacs and a couple more like Alice.

I have almost all of the Movie Maniacs line. I like them a lot. However, as far as value, they really never became that valuable.

Yeah, most of the McFarlane stuff can still be bought pretty cheaply, I guess because so many were produced. Many of the McFarlane figures are really very good. A few years ago I narrowed my collection to mostly monster related stuff because I just accumulated too damn much...
stuff. Anyway, I stopped collecting superhero and some other genres and decided to focus on my favorite genre- MONSTERS. Of the McFarlane product I kept the Movie Maniacs, Monster Playsets, and some monster related faves like Alice.
I never did collect according to $ value. I just collect what I like. Apparently many other people like the same stuff because most of my junk has become sought after, and as a result, expensive. I could never afford to replace my monster collection, so I'll never sell it. I am careful what I buy these days regarding size.
The Movie Maniacs line was exceptional, really raised the bar on modern horror figures. Three months after the MM figures came out, Sideshow did the same for classic horror figures. It really was an incredible new era for grown up MonsterKids. NECA would later carry the torch with their Cult Classics & Uni Headknockers as would DST (to a lesser degree, imo).

Almost the exact same story here and I enjoy selling off a lot of my stuff because it finances my monster hunting.

Exactly. I was beginning to feel burdened by all the superhero comics and action figures I had accumulated, because I had stopped enjoying that stuff. I've never gotten tired of the monster stuff though, as I've loved monsters and dinosaurs since I was a wee Monsterkid. The unwanted items are a good source of trade items or monstering money, as you say.
I've been selling most of my dc, marvel, mcfarlane stuff in bunches lately, doing pretty well...too much stuff.. gonna keep UM,Friday 13th, Halloween and a few other favs but for the most part adios
Got my DD 12" Barlow figure over the weekend, and my 3.75" "Doctor Who" Tenth Doctor. Last night I scored the DC Multiverse "Arkham Knight" Batman, Two-Face, and Scarecrow 3.75" figures. The Batman and Doctor Who figures being the same scale makes for interesting pix!

Thanks for posting the pic---yeah that's the one. I love it, and I'm big Alice fan too. I've seen him a few times in concert. He's the best. In terms of other McFarlane rock n roll stuff, I have some of his Kiss figures. The "Kiss Creatures" box set is especially awesome.
Back to Alice though, do you know he has new comic book out? I have the first issue. It's very cool.

Actually, I'm only familiar with a few of these pieces. The hallmark card was given to me decades ago by my much-maligned ex-wife and I've seen the trading cards around. I'm not a paper goods collector, so I haven't really looked through much of those items. Seeing them in one place really makes them impressive, though.
The top pic:
Trading Card Treats (1 of 6), Pepsi Cards set (1 0f 6) and the Creature card from the "Classic Toys" card set. Wacky Packages cards and a Doritos sticker.
The bottom pic has:
A French movie card. It's an ongoing series with probably 100s of cards. Only one Creature, though.
A 1980s bookmark. There were other UMs and many other characters (Disney, etc.) made by One Stop Posters.
Italian movie cards. Stats on the back.
Two repro 1959 post cards from Wakulla Springs, FL.
The Hallmark die-cut.
A window cling.

While anticipating my UM ebay purchase in the mail which was supposed to have arrived on Sat. but according to tracking hasn't been updated at all today (sigh) I will post this poor substitute Halloween find instead.
I found a few of this ceramic skeleton hand in the discount bins at Michael's art and crafts store for like 2 bucks each. They are very cheap in price, the correct size, and seem reasonably anatomically correct ( I didn't bother to actually look up the bones of the hand.)
With a little paint it turned out fantastic, looking very realistic and I went and bought two more.
Now what am I going to do with it...

My sideshow figures are still in the box. When I see pictures like that though, I wish I would have bought 2 of each when they were more affordable.

Very impressive, Golddragon71! Any real Universal Monsters collector can appreciate the coolly iconic appearance of Metaluna Mutant. It's been well represented in monster merchandising since the late '50s and is part of Monsterkid history. Gotta have that Mole Person as well to be complete. 8)

It would be nice. I guess it could be molded from plastic with maybe a moveable eye and tentacles and a transparent stand. It could be a cool figure with some Gogos style paint apps (some weird color combos).

Thanks for that clarification. I think I prefer the prototype, but the released figure is more realistic. I'm really hoping this line catches on with collectors in the US. I'm also hoping we'll see earlier Doctors in this scale. So far, we've got 1x David Tennant, 2x Capaldi, and 3x Matt Smith.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkk lium
I got him on Amazon, with shipping he was just under $50.
Entertainment Earth has a distressed Frankenstein exclusive, but the pictures look iffy. I have also seen a "glitter" Frankenstein that will be coming out that looks better than it sounds!

This is Mystic Powers Frank. Maybe my favorite.

Kiiiiiinda crushed it today... I was working at a different store and on break perused what was left of the 90% Off Halloween aisle:
I couldn't believe my eyes! I found a BOX of 38 of the Universal Monsters bust candles! With the clearance plus my employee discount: 6 CENTS each!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/JvU342k.jpg)
Then - on the next shelf: 16 of those Pocket Screamers!!! I snapped them all up for 25 cents each!!

I really don't understand why these are so popular.
I know the Japanese market goes for the deformed figures in bright colors. But why are they gaining such a following in the U.S. - especially among collectors who constantly complain about figures not being "screen accurate" enough?
To me, they are garish and bizarre-looking. I just don't get the appeal.
I only bought the creature and stop there. It's seems they're making more.
What's up with that Japan liking deformed figures? I've seen Star Wars too deformed.

I'm with you, Adam. I hate all of these (and to add insult to injury, the price is ridiculous).
I like many stylized monster toys. Some of the best stuff we grew up with is stylized/deformed- Palmers, Big Frankie Kit, Nutty Mads & Weird-Ohs, Niks.
The price on this new Japanese stuff is totally offputting. I had rather put my monster money toward other items where I feel like I'm getting my money's worth.

Even if you mean "close to screen accurate" (which is the best you'll ever get), you'll have a small collection that won't get bigger very often.
I kinda like the oddball stuff, as long as it's not an unlicensed wannabee, like the "Stretch Screamer". If it's vintage enough, like the '60s bobble head, I might change my mind, though.

New deformed figures aren't worth 50 bucks a shot to me, but I was mainly referring to some of those high end Godzilla figures which cost several hundred dollars. I know some people buy them but I'm just stating my own buying practices.

I like that. My collection is big enough now where I really don't want it to grow much. I don't buy any new "stylized" figures & I'm slowly getting rid of the few ones I have. I don't like the Mezco figures (the Mummy's ok, I guess), but this Hikari stuff hits a new low.
This style of figures has been coming from Japan for decades...They invented "Super Deformed". Most everything they do is in this bright color scheme and the price? They don't do cheap.....

Something told me to bop into the local Goodwill on my way home:
I found this really cool "Bennigan's Creep Week II, 1994" glass for 99 cents. The design is printed pretty much all the way around the glass. Google and eBay says it's kinda rare? Only 2 or 3 listed on eBay, and Google only has info on this one. There doesn't seem to have ever been a "Creep Week I," or any other monster designs in the series. Does anyone know anything more about these? I did a search here and didn't find another one.

I'm sure you've considered this, but I think the area has a lot to do with it. I'm from a small semi-rural town in FL, lots of old folks (FL, duh, I guess. haha) and not many people with disposable incomes. So things are usually held onto longer and the stuff that ends up in the thrift stores is actually vintage and mostly well taken care of. Contrast that with where I go to school in an uppity Atlanta suburb: I went yardsaling one weekend and vowed never again; all new cheap disposable junk and clothes. Very disappointing.
So it might be worth venturing out to the next town or county over and scoping things out. :)

Oh yes, "Location, Location, Location" doesn't just pertain to real estate values. I live in southeastern TN, the armpit of the country when it comes to finding nice collectibles. This area has always been several years behind the rest of the country on everything, no genre shows/conventions, not many collectors, not much of anything "monster" and very little of even "comic book". Believe me, dude, I would have to drive a lot farther than the next county to stand a chance of finding anything good. Unless I go on vacation I'll have to depend on
the interwebbings, specifically eBay.

It looks like an original '60s one (though I don't know if they have duplicated the original colors on the Mexican ones). They only came in this blue/teal color and orange. $20 for an original would be a great price, if it hasn't been chewed on.

Nope.
This issue of BH&G is known to Creature fans and was part of a recent auction that closed at over $2,000.
Those are your two younger brothers on the cover.

It is made of lead, has a light bulb in its head, and a plug in...and was made to go in a fish tank!!?. And the ad you bought the magazine for takes up about 1/16 of a page. But very cool and the only reason I own a copy of better homes and gardens myself.

That figure is a limited edition blue prison walker exclusive to the San Diego comic con. Don't know what the original price was but $20 seems to be common asking price. I've seen them sell for as little as $6. The 1st series walker set goes for between $30-50 depending on seller and availability. I got mine(on it's way) near the lower end. The prison set I pre-ordered was around $21 + shipping.
Now, that sounds more reasonable. I love these things. Thanks for the info, WL.

The Creature deserves so less an effort.
I just got these from Ebay. They were reportedly prototypes for keychains that were pitched to the Universal Parks, but were not manufactured or sold. I'm not sure how true that is, but I liked the look, detail and style so I figured the were worth $19 to me. The Monster's pose reminds me of the Zoo Pics spoon and swizzle stick. They are 2.25 inches tall and are cast in metal.

I have 2 Franks and 1 Bride, bought from 2 different sellers a few years apart - so I don't think the "prototype" story holds water.

are cool and the price seems reasonable.

It is a 2011 collection of ALL the Mad Magazine horror movie satires, Halloween related stories, etc. for over 50 years. It even includes the little horror-related "Marginal Thinking" cartoons from those years! For UMA members, this collection offers only the cream of the cream.
It is a nice, large book at 8.75 in. x 10.75 in. (about the size of a Mad Magazine) and 386 pages.
The articles appear to be in chronological order as published. My only quibble is that the pages are not numbered and there is no index. If you want to go back and read a specific article, you just have to remember about when it was published and thumb through the book.
I couldn't begin to recommend this book highly enough!

The nice thing is not needing to posses that many years worth of smelly, worn old magazines and having to look through them all to find the horror-related articles that I loved so much as a kid.
It is great to have the full-sized pages instead of the Pocket Book reissues from decades ago. With this we are able to enjoy
all the little artistic nuances we found in the original magazines.
So much fun.
You make your point well, young Adam. It's nice to have it all at your fingertips.

They all did, actually. Remember series one? The T'R'U version of the Creature came on a small base (no Kay figure), The Mummy had no sarcophagus, Phantom had no organ (insert joke here), Dracula had no wolf, no lab table for 1st Frankie etc. Check out the DST section at the top of the Modern Toys section. All the pics are there.

True. I bought both versions until the last series (loved that Mr. Hyde rooftop base). I didn't see any reason to hunt after Creech & Frank when all they offered was a plain base.
Santa brought me a Mezco Greaser Rebel Frankenstein. The amount of detail on this little guy is really impressive! From his greasy fingernails, the bicep tattoo of his Bride, the real chain wallet, working zipper and belt, and the "1931" on his back patch. I was really surprised that his shirt and jacket come off to reveal that his torso is also translucent, and painted/sculpted with stitches and cuts.
He helped me work on the Edsel over the weekend!
But first he got a little handsy with my grille ornament.

I went to TRU tonight looking for that Crimson Ghost or new Creech on the cheap (Van Helsing is already on clearance, btw) but came up empty handed. I did, however, find Surf's Up Joker to go with Surf's Up Batman! There were actually two on the rack, I thought I had read somewhere that he was canceled for production, or at least delayed. Totally stoked I found him because like Batman he's hilarious, with his trunks over his pinstriped slacks! Cowabunga!

Totally! But then I really '60s surf anything. In the toy line they also have the Riddler, Penguin, and Cat Woman, but the Joker and Bats have were the only ones who surfed in that episode.

I Ebayed a somewhat banged-up "Creature Features" board game from 1976. Most of the pieces inside the box were in great condition but the box itself had some damage. But I used to have one back in the day, and it's nice to see it again!!

The Metaluna Mutant won me over with the Interocitor. The band "Man Or Astro-Man?" got me hooked when I saw that they regularly incorporate an Interocitor in their live shows. If you like surf music infused with globules of cheesy sci-fi, I highly recommend them. I can share some of their tunes if there's interest here. I made my 60yo comic book dealer (who loves surf music and Godzilla) a CD of their stuff and he really digs it.

I checked out the Days of the Dead con in Atlanta for the first time today. It wasn't too shabby for the price of admission, but the Spooky Empire shows I've been to in Orlando definitely dwarf it. There wasn't a whole lot in the way of vintage goodies, but there was quite a few modern toys, just nothing in my price range or anything I couldn't live without. I was stoked to get somethings autographed for the first time, but immediately bummed that everyone charges $20-$30 for a signature or photo op. Kinda takes the shine off... The couple highlights were that Rock Rebel had a booth, and the rep appreciated me rocking their Creature belt buckle, so he gave me a small discount on their big head Frank shirt I've had my eye on. All in all I picked up 3 shirts from different vendors.
I also did meet C. Marin Croker, who is the voice of Moltar and Zorak on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, as well as the head animator on the show, as well as Aqua Teen and others. He only wanted $10 for a signature. He was happy to sign all over my Space Ghost CD, which is a pretty rare one and seemed impressed to see it. He was also selling prints for $25, again, signed and customized all over. Super awesome dude all around. I wish I could've sat and hung out with him all day. And yes, the Creatiki was at his booth!

Yeah, I don't usually have a beard, but it's cold outside Florida! Haha. He had it for sale at his booth, $225. (But to be honest, I'm pretty sure I can carve one myself, and we have plenty of palms...) I'm not an autograph hound, this was my first venture, and I legitimately enjoy his work. PJ Soles wanted $20, the Crypt Keeper guy wanted $35, I didn't see Sid Haig there, but I'm sure he was just as much. No thanks.

You'd think, but not really. Maybe if I were there to get one in person, but even then, meeting the people would mean more to me than their signature. It would be alright as a memento, I guess. I'd never be interested in buying signed photos from ebay, though.

Saw another NECA 6.5" Godzilla 2014 figure at Walmart. Picked it up, got it home and opened it...and, no ball-joint in the upper tail section so you can attach the lower tail section! NECA has really been slipping on quality control, lately. I'll be returning him to Walmart for a refund today.
A valentines gift from my girlfriend, who knows me so well. As far as I know, this is the only figure of MJ as the Werewolf/ Werecat from Thriller. Its vinyl and made by Marusan, the extra head is actually a mask made of soft rubber that can slip over Michael's head. Super stoked to own this guy as he's one of my favorite werewolf designs. Don't know why they didn't give him claws though...

It's not a direct tie in to a genre film, but this is (I believe) the first record put out by The Peanuts a couple of years before they teamed up with Mothra as the little twin fairies. Got it rather cheaply off of Ebay.

I would have preferred one of the records from later on with Mothra pictured on them, but the prices were a bit high (and the shipping from Japan made them higher). sEARCH ON eBAY FOR "The Peanuts" and "Mothra" to see some examples. I got lucky on this one. I like it because it was an oddball. I always thought that they would have been cool convention guests. One of them has already passed away.

Great group! Is that the Apocalypse Creature? It's hard to tell the difference between that and the "Original" Creature.

Yea! Its the Apocalypse one. I like it better than the "Original". The purple version of the Mutant is way cool too, although some of Frank's recolors aren't that cool to me...
Got these off Amazon a couple days ago. Good stuff.

Oh man, they're selling it on Executive Replicas for only 45 bucks! Snagged one! http://www.executivereplicas.com/#!product/prd1/624711161/the-horror-of-party-beach-12%22-action-figure (http://www.executivereplicas.com/#!product/prd1/624711161/the-horror-of-party-beach-12%22-action-figure)
What a bargain! Thanks for the heads up, Count Z.
That is awesome man! Some good prices...I might just snag the Blood Of Dracula figure!!
Picked these up at local comic book show a few weeks ago:

I finally scored one of these Product Enterprise 12" Christopher Lee Dracula figures off evilBay for a reasonable price- $85. This is a killer figure! I didn't even know about these until a few months ago and I've been stalking the eBay listings since. In person it looks great, and the packaging is really nice as well. :)

I also picked up the Executive Replicas Horror Of Party Beach figure and Blood Of Dracula figure off of their site for cheap. The boxes are really cool and the Party Beach figure of the goofy monster is not bad and certainly worth the $45. The Blood Of Dracula figure is mediocre, but for 30 bucks I'm glad I got it. I haven't paid $30 for a 1/6th scale figure in a nice box since the Sideshow days a decade-and-a-half ago.

Also got one of these Cannibal Apocalypse DVDs off eBay finally. It's been OOP for years. I remember passing on buying it new for $20 at Borders years ago. I've recently been watching all of the classic Cannibal flicks and this is the only one I didn't have. I'm not one to give a hundred bucks for ANY DVD regardless of how scarce it is, but I finally found a nice "as new" copy for $30 shipped with a nice case and insert so I pulled the trigger.

This flick stars John Saxon and is the only classic long pig buffet to take place in a city instead of a jungle. I plan to check it out tonight. Love the "Euroshock Collection" DVDs from Image and have most of them.

My figures usually stay packaged, especially when they display this well in the original packaging. One of these sold for well over $100 a few weeks ago on eBay with a really beat up box. I didn't want that one because packaging condition is a big concern of mine. I'm happy with the one I have now.
Like an idiot I passed on the DD 1/6th scale Chris Lee Dracula. But, at least I have all of the DD Hammer Megos, and plan to not miss any DD Hammer figures in future.

I agree with you about box condition being important, HH. It's too bad the box art(?) on the PE Dracula is so lame.

I really like the box design. The Hammer symbol is elegant and striking, and the leather grain pattern is attractive. The back has a nice photo of the figure and some info, and the inside front cover is well done. I think it's a nice alternative to the traditional poster art or illustration. I normally prefer poster art or really good illustration for figure packaging but something like this is cool occasionally.
(http://graveyardrecords.com/images/hammer_dracula.jpg)
Is that Hammer symbol new to that packaging? I don't remember Hammer ever having a symbol. I still prefer a lobby card or colorized still myself. I display mine with the lid wide open to showcase the figure. We can at least agree on it being a fantastic figure, right?

Yes, I think it's a truly great figure and a very good Christopher Lee Dracula likeness right down to the red eyes. The hands even have detailed veins and the ring. 8)
Regarding the Hammer symbol on the box: that symbol is used on the newest Hammer trading card sets from Strictly Ink (2008/2010). Here's another pic of my Hammer binder I posted previously in the Monster Trading Cards thread that currently houses all of my Hammer trading cards.
(http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b552/horrorhunter/hammerhorror1TCbinder_zpsdff8e83c.jpg)
BTW, I kept at it and finally got all of the autograph cards for the 2010 set, and all of the autograph cards for the 2008 set except for David Prowse. I'll probably post those in the Monster Trading Cards thread at some point. I really love Hammer and I'm excited about the Hammer Mego Style Set 2 from DD. Meinster down and three to go.

While home on spring break I hit up my local comic/collectibles shop and found these Mattel Haunted Haulers from 1997 MIB of $10 each! There's the "Ghoul Bus", "Neck Wrecker", and "Drac Bike."I found them in a back room amongst a bunch of Bettie Page stuff, I don't know how I've missed them before. Anything with monsters and hot rods always gets me and these guys are no exception. Powered by two rubber bands (included!) one pulls back on the launcher, loads in the vehicle, and presses the tombstone to let 'em rip! I found it interesting that on the box with the contents it lists only 1 skeleton minion, but they each came with 2. So, either it was a typo, or a marketing ploy to make every kid feel like a winner (I know I did...) The details are really funny and neat, like bone drive shafts and cobweb control arms on the undercarriage, a skull pile in the wrecker bed, vanity plates, and taglines on the tombstones: "R.R.R.: Readin', Writin', and Racin'" and "RIP: Rust in Pieces." Too cool!

I also got the DST banks of Metaluna, the colored Creature, and BW Bride. At $25 each, I'd rather support a great small business than buy online.
This shop and his cohort across mainstreet also sell local artist prints, and I got this Creature's Prey for $20, signed by the artist, George Frei.

I paid US$41.40 + US$13 shipping from Japan.The seller also had the colour version as well.They are a lot better, cooler and cheaper than the Funko Reaction figures.
I'd like them more if they were 8" tall instead of 2". ;)

The Yanomans are exquisite treats indeed. Very detailed for such tiny treasures. Color is the way to go. I never really liked those sepia toned versions of anything. Just because the films are black and white doesnt mean the toys, masks, collectibles need to be,lol. :angel:

I've got that one, too. Same one, the color version. I remember seeing the sepia-toned one at Kaybee Toys, and thinking, "Most of the scenes Count Orlok are in were tinted green or blue." So, the monochromatic version never appealed to me.
Yep, I don't normally like "stylized" figures, but most of these were superb. The Cesare from "Caligari" is my favorite.

Anyone on the fence about getting them, as I was, should do so. They look really great in person. And, really, you gotta ask yourself, "just how many good Hammer and Amicus figures are there?" Not many. I plan to get the Hammer Phantom and Duc De Richleau when I can afford them. I sure wish I would have grabbed one of those 1/6th scale Christopher Lee Draculas with the extra body when DD sold them new. Hopefully Martin will do another 1/6th Chris Drac from another film at some point. I'm sure he would sell through, probably the day of release.
My Arthur Grimsdyke arrived last week and I agree it does look great in person.

Customs vary greatly in price. There are many factors that price is derived from. The character, artist, size, rarity and how many were made are all factors. Average prices for 1/6 horror figures are usually in between $110 - $300. However, ones from high end, big name artists range from $500 - $800.

Yes, it appears only to be available at their shows, for now.
Meanwhile, this will be offered at next weekend's Chiller Theatre Expo.

Obviously, it's not a true life mask casting. This is a cast of the make-up sculpt, where they took the original life mask, and sculpted the appliances onto it. It was tweaked by the sculptor to have the eyes and mouth open.

lol I agree with you. However, I am really looking forward to receiving this figure. It should arrive any day now. I watched the film about 2 weeks ago. I enjoyed it. It had a very creepy vibe during the second half of the film. The figure is based on not only what is seen in the film, but the artist's rendition. There is no way to have a 100% likeness because you never see the entire face or a good enough shot.

I got my Yeti and it is perfect. It does look like an Abe Lincoln Wookie, but that's what he looked like in the film (goofy but distinctive). He looks cuddly, but highly intelligent & fully capable of delivering "The Gettysburg Address". Great work, Martin!
I dont believe the design is silly. I certainly think the figure is perfect. We always clamor for an original design....then when we see a picture where we get one....we complain. Mostly because (whether we wish to believe it or not) is because it doesnt look like a traditional creepy.
Lovecraft beasties certainly are original in their look...but they hardly ever get produced.t everytime they do they sell...so i dont get it.
Yeti is probably sold out form Martin were I to hazard a guess.
As for never knowing exactly what the Hammer Yeti looks like....wrong. This figure is a masterpiece.

The Honest Abe Wookie looks blissfully baked to me.
I have to say it's a great Hammer flick. I have seen stills of it since I was a kid and finally got to see it for the first time a year ago. Recommend seeing.
The DD Hammer Yeti is a good sculpt and I'm proud to add it to my collection. Nobody else is doing Hammer figures (or Price, or Naschy, etc.) and I'm glad DD stepped up to give us the figures we want.

It may look a little bulky but that's the way 1/9th scale figures are, whether they are wearing bulky looking clothes or bulky looking "fur suits". I think it looks great, and I think the movie is on par with Hammer's usual good quality offerings.

Quote from: horrorhunter on April 28, 2015, 01:40:24 AM
My point was that clothing always looks bulky on 1/9th scale figures...even fur suits.
Part of the reason for that is that most 1/9-scale figure bodies are for superheroes, and are therefore "bulked up." I've seen a few 12" figures where the clothes weren't removable, and were sewn onto the bodies. This gave them an ultra-slim appearance. It's a good look for vampire figures (unless they also sparkle.)
I actually got these a few months ago, as late Christmas gifts. Character Options' 1/18-scale "Doctor Who" Series 3 action figures. The Eleventh Doctor (in Green Coat) and Amy Pond. However, I only got around to photographing them today. They're pictured with the 1/18-scale lighted Spin & Fly TARDIS, against an Entertainment Earth Action Stage Diorama Backdrop (#4, The Northern Castle).(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/28/84e3e26a3f12373a2fdb7d4a9b8253ca.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/28/9b87334eca2430669e3de168a032774d.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/28/56c284d8a2d8652242a68815ce46f3bd.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/28/a3aeff272b2de90de6ca9c76cb73ddd1.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/28/b9a15b296b25747e98abb868a9727f40.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/28/c123d1ce3f4bd5a8c25f4aa6cc47381c.jpg)Sorry the pix are a bit fuzzy, but my new phone has an even crappier camera than my old one. Also, yes, that's the wrong TARDIS interior for Amy. (It's from "The Snowmen," the first Christmas special after Amy & Rory's departure in "The Angels Take Manhattan." The Doctor's green coat is correct, however. It was first seen in "A Town Called Mercy.")

I don't think he meant the design was silly, so to speak, just seeing an Abraham Lincoln looking figure as a Yeti does make one smile. I can compare it to this. My favorite Godzilla look is the Godzilla 1962 from King Kong vs Godzilla. That Godzilla has huge floppy feet, thunder thighs, a gut, dopey looking eyes and a sort of silly looking face. Yet, to most collectors, including myself, it will always be considered Godzilla's greatest look.
Seeing The Abominable Snowman made me appreciate this figure much more. Also, now that I have it and have been looking at it for the last 24 hours. I really like it.
As far as the Yeti being sold out, I would image that happened almost immediately. I don't know if the figures are shipped out in order of when someone places their order. However, I think I placed mine around 48 hours after it was released and I have number 60. I am curious as to if these are going to hit ebay and what prices they are going to fetch. I have a feeling that many private colloectors purchased this figure and vendors might not have been able to scoop up as many as they normally would have.

That's exactly right Horrorman. I couldn't have said it better myself. I was going to post and use the very same Godzilla analogy myself but since the replies to my comment seemed to be dying down I let it go. Thanks for setting the record straight. :)
The Yeti has been sold out for a while, I'm pretty sure. There was so much buzz over this piece, that I'm sure it was an instant sell out. It not only appealed to Hammer fans like myself, but to fans of the Yeti in general.

And just for the record I love Hammer films. When I was a kid seeing Frankenstein (Curse of) and Dracula (Horror of) in living color for the first time was mind blowing. Was a fan ever since. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see "The Abominable Snowman". People are asking ridiculous prices for the old DVD though.

Trust me, Glenn, it's well worth it. Not only are there movies that are only available in other countries, but there are special editions & features that are unique to those regions (not to mention some killer prices).

Its on netflix if you doo the dvd thing so you wont buy it and find yourself asking why did I buy that I know I got a few like that
Just picked up this whole outfit today on eBay for $35 and free shipping!! Couldn't believe the price. It includes a TOTS Dr. Tongue mask, some really nice looking zombie hands, a bloody jump suit (in my size) and a bottle of blood. The mask alone was worth the price. I'll post my own pics when it arrives. :)
EDIT: Upon further examination of the pictures that the seller posted and comparing it to other photos online it looks like the mask is actually a "Bump in the Night Dr. Tongue" mask which I'm fine with as Chuck Jarmin did some of the best "Day of the Dead" masks including his "Bub". In both cases his "Day" masks are more movie accurate than TOTS.

Upon further examination of the pictures that the seller posted and comparing it to other photos online it looks like the mask is actually a "Bump in the Night Dr. Tongue" mask which I'm fine with as Chuck Jarmin did some of the best "Day of the Dead" masks including his "Bub". In both cases his "Day" masks are more movie accurate than TOTS.
Trick or Treat

Nicotero zombie is my fav till they make a savini or maybe savini vampire from dusk till dawn anyone know of any its not just the gore but the subject
I think the "Deer Walker" is the best of the TOTS "Walking Dead" masks.
Had a really awesome mail day yesterday. Here's what I got!

I'm glad I started to warm up to the Diamond Select figures, because I absolutely LOVE these! The Frankenstein monster doesn't really look like Karloff to me but...I don't care! Its an awesome Frankenstein figure, probably one of the coolest I've seen! Also the hype is true about the Creech, it looks phenomenal. I'm glad DST got their sh*t together cuz these are amazing.
I also got this guy...

And he's so big!! This figure is amazing as well, the attention to detail is great and NECA made some great decisions with making the interchangeable hands a soft rubber. The likeness to West is really nice too. I haven't figured out how he can stand yet though, his ankle joints seem stuck and I don't want to break them.

Tried to take a pic for scale with my dog, but she wouldn't sit near it. If anyone's interested in this figure they're having a sale over at Big Bad Toy Store, got him for only 65 bucks. A good bat bargain.
Does it include the cute, little Batdog?

Great looking figures! I like the Diamond Select stuff. Been buying their Marvel stuff for a while now. That Creech is perfect. I like the the Frankie too even though it's not a dead on Karloff likeness. I have this "Son of" Frankie. It's a really nice Karloff likeness. I forget who made it though as I got this before I started leaving them unopened.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/413M-5jmMvL.jpg)
That Adam West Batman is really nice too. I know what you mean about the ankles. I've had figures where the joints are stiff and your afraid to move them for fear of breaking. Congrats on the great scores!

Your doggie is so clean and groomed...it almost doesnt look like a real dog,lol. I like the dig better than anything else I see in any of the pics. Not that there isn't some really cool stuff in the pics. The dog just wins paws down. 8)
Glenn, that's the Sideshow Son of Frank figure. I like him, the Sideshows are very nostalgic to me.
Anton, funny how you think my dog is clean looking, she is actually in need of a grooming and eye cleaning.
That Sideshow Son of Frank is dead on. I think that that & the Sideshow 12" are the very best toy representations of that character. It's funny how Sideshow is now nostalgic. It feels like it was just yesterday when I was unpacking boxes of those to put on the shelves in the store where I worked.

Sorry to make us feel old, Mord. The Sideshow 8 inch Metaluna Mutant, Invisible Man and the big box of silver screen Little Big Heads were the very first Universal Monsters toys I ever owned! They hold a special place in my heart.

That's ok, I think those figures hold a special place in many people's hearts (including mine). I don't think DST would have done some of the figures they've done if it weren't for Sideshow paving the way. Who would have though that there would ever be figures of The Metaluna Mutant & The Mole People sitting in toy store shelves in this day & age? I'm glad you warmed up to the DSTs. While I still prefer the Sideshow versions, I enjoy having their take on our favorite monsters. There's room for everybody...the more the merrier.

I remember reading an interview by a Sideshow rep stating: "Our products won't solely consist of the same stable of 6-8 characters" I distinctly remember saying "If they make Werewolf of London....they are true fans. They gave us the ONLY licensed Werewolf of London figures. In smaller scale and 1/6. Good times. But now long gone. :angel:

You CAN find some monster stuff, but there isn't too much. There's a lot of Marvel and super hero stuff, but its a good place to dig for rare treasures. There's a small corner of sports stuff and card collecting.
Got my Werewolf Shadow figure from Distinctive Dummies.

Kiddin'. I finally got around to drawing a Werewolf Shadow backing card overlay for my Waldemar Daninsky figure. :)
Nice work, buddy, a big improvement (though it looks like he has a red afro).
Looks very nice

Thanks.
BTW, in Werewolf Shadow the moon appears blood-red. I've always preferred a shaded moon with some texture hence the stipple work. If anyone digs low enough they can find a silly comparison to anything. ::)

My sense of humor is still the same as ever. And you won't get under my skin the way you have some members in the past...I know you. You seldom post anything of any real value that we can all enjoy as a group, but you forever lurk waiting to take cheap sniping shots at someone else's expense for a quick (sometimes mean-spirited) laugh. No hard feelings, dude, but you really should look into having a personality tune-up. Maybe some counseling wouldn't hurt. Hell, don't feel bad, it's probably just a common case of a$*h*l**itis. World's full of 'em you know.

I really think it is you who has changed. The comments about your art were positive. Check your earlier posts as opposed to your recent ones, it's like a different person is writing them. As for counseling...well, pot meet kettle.

I'm just being honest with you here, your "positive comments" are usually laced with just enough venom to be unsavory but not quite enough to be called up because then the person calling you on it would seem like the aggressor. You have this weaselly pattern honed to perfection. I like joking and BSing probably more than most, but you have a knack for being ugly with people and then masking it with supposed genuine care. I'm not trying to take shots at you. I'm just trying to give you an idea of the way you look sometimes from other people's POV. Sorry if you were insulted, and yes we could all stand to improve as far as the way we treat each other. I'm as guilty as anyone regarding less than good treatment of other people. I'll try to do better. Peace.

The more I read your asinine posts, the more I see how out of line you are. Who the f*ck are you to decide I f I post anything of real value. It seems that people enjoy the posts. What...so I don't post pix of that 3rd rate Naschy idiot and laboriously anal retentive essays on dinosaur playsets and that reduces the value of my posts? Ridiculous! Your suggestion that I get counseling seems more appropriate for your prima donna behavior. You disappear for weeks on end stating that you can't take it here anymore, and I"M the psycho? As for "sucking up" to Jaycox, I have said to his face that he's arrogant & he agreed. That doesn't stop him from being a brilliant customizer. I would love to own a few of his "Mage" figures (I'm sure you would too). You're right about one thing. It is a case of "*ssholitis" & you might make an appointment with your proctologist. There, now I'm done. Peace.

Cool score! I bought one of those for my son when he was a toddler. My attempt at making him a Frankie fan. I put him in the kid size rocking chair he had in his room. Didn't last long as he wouldn't go anywhere near him so I had to put him away. Still have him too. One of my more favorite Frankenstein toys from that time period. :)

Thanks. I got the Wolfman Pozer back when Toy Liquidators were blowing out those X Plus Harryhausen figures dirt cheap. I snagged all of 'em except for the huge versions of the Dragon and Cyclops from
7th Voyage (got the smaller ones though). I still hate that I missed those but honestly I would be hard pressed to find room to display them now. I've really cut back on purchasing large collectibles.
I have a few masks (mostly Post reissues), but nothing like the amazing mask collections that some of you fellas have.

Thank you, thm. I ordered that from Kelly Mann back in '03 through an ad in Scary Monsters. It's #15 of 30.
I've loved the Langdon Zombie since I picked up the 1972 Creepy Annual when I was 13. I never could afford an original but when Kelly did that reissue I jumped on it. I think it was around $95. I've enjoyed looking at it look back at me for the last several years. Zombie Cool

And this on the Internetweb:

That makes Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. Anyone know if there were others?

Thanks man! Looks like Ive still got some searching to do.
Apparently that's all of them. The J&H box is much larger than the others.

Sideshow 8 inch Glow Frankenstein and Glow LBH's Frank and Inviso.
Congrats Count! Did you just buy the 8" glow Frankie? I was looking at one on eBay for $24.95. It didn't sell and it went back up at $19.95 but it was sold by the time I noticed. Nice piece and I love the packaging.
Hey Glenn, yea I just bought it like last week, but I wish it was the listing your talking about. I paid 40 for mine :C
I'm trying to find the Mummy and Wolfman Glow figures too.

It happens to all of us. I bought a set of the Marx re-issue figures for $40 and saw that Mike Scott had just sold a set for $20. Still a great figure even at $40. Mord said that these originally sold for $15 when they were new. :)
$15! Damn. Well I could believe it...where were these sold? Were they exclusive somewhere? I know the translucent Creech and Metaluna were Comic Con exclusives.

I'm not sure about the details. When I saw the one on eBay I PM'd Mord for his opinion. He worked in a store that sold the Sideshow stuff so he's very knowledgeable about these figures. Maybe he'll see this post and chime in or you could PM him with any questions. I'm sure he'd be glad to help.
Hi, gents, I guess I'm late to the discussion. I worked at a retail store that sold those Sideshow glow 8" figures. They retailed for $15, BUT that was 15 years ago. You should be able to find the other two for about $20 ea., if you're patient. They were also going to do The Creature, The Phantom, & The Bride but they never got past the prototype stage. I've never seen one of those for sale at any price. One good thing, your 8" Frankenstein looks amazing, with or without lights.
Thanks for clearing that up Mord! The Sideshows are special to me, I'm trying to collect them all. When you worked at that store were you able to snag those figures?

I tried to pick up all the Sideshow stuff. Unfortunately, I limited multiples to color & black and white (no glows or translucents). My Sideshow pieces are still my absolute favorites. I got all the 8", 12" & quarter scales (plus 2 dios & other odds and ends). Keep building up your Sideshows, you really can't go wrong with the quality on those. Like Glenn said, you can always PM me if you have any questions (that goes for any UMAer). Good luck!

Here are my most recent gets in the toy category. A Gigantic Frankenstein, A Sideshow glow in the dark Frankenstein and Mummy and a Jakks Pacific B&W Bride of Frankenstein figure. Thanks to Mord for educating me on the glow figures. I'll keep my eye out for the Sideshow glow in the dark Wolfman and I'd like to get the color version of the Jakks Bride of Frankenstein as well.

Sadly, they remind me of the unreleased Sideshow glow Creature and the unreleased Jakks Creature. :(

Thanks guys! Mike, did Jakks ever do a prototype of the Creature figure? I know the Sideshow glow figures were just re-casts of existing figures.

WOW..What a great haul...It's like Monster Christmas. Also, your photography is great. In fact, one thing I first noticed in your pics, was the quality. The pic you posted of the 3 masks on the table last month was very clean and crisp. It was not grainy at all. To capture all the detail though, don't use a flash.
thm
That's a very nice little quartet you found, Glenn. I'm already saving money for our "Son Of Monsterpalooza" event in September. I usually spend at least $500 at those shows. I hope your piggy bank's getting fat by then.
Thanks a lot guys! A lot of the fun in this is being able to share it with you guys. I was mainly a mask guy for awhile now but you guys got me back into the other monster collectables and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Thanks for the compliment and tip on photography Horror Man. That means a lot coming from you. It's just my cell phone set on auto so the dark lighting prompted the flash. In this case it helped because the shrink wrap on Big Frankie was so reflective that without the flash all you could see was my reflection on him. I have some more masks on the way so I'll post that when they show up. If I don't watch it I won't have any money left to spend at "Son of". ;) Looking forward to it Mord.

The Alien Quadrilogy was the last and the best of the Alien compilations on DVD. After that it was Alien Anthology on Blu-ray only.
Picked up some decals for my DD figures from a guy on sideshow freaks. Over the years bought quite a few from him.

I keep most of my stuff in boxes, including the sideshow 8 inch series. But if I see duplicates at a reasonable price, I'll pick it up so I can open one. Found the Mummy for $15. The box was beat up, but I bought it to open anyhow.

For their size, the 8 inch Sideshow Universal Monsters figure line are the most accurate figures that exist. Mummy looks to be in great condition.

Probably more vintage than modern. However, here is a custom Masters of the Universe Merman figure.

Great figures. Don't worry about proportions. It would cost way too much to design a specific "little person" body for this one toy. They look fantastic as they are. To answer your question...the Saucermen were described as "the little green men" in the movie. The lobby cards & posters depicted them as green, also. Then behind the scenes photos (prominently displayed in an issue of "Filmfax" magazine), revealed the actual color of the masks to be reddish. I would have loved them to do one of the three in black & white.

But there are existing child-proportioned bodies that could have been used. The limbs could easily be customized, however.

I'm just glad that these were made in the first place. That said, the very best Saucerman figure was made by Billiken in the eighties. I don't think that one has been topped.

Quite true! Those were beauties. Especially the extra head of the actor under the mask.

I agree about the Leatherface. My pre order came in a week or so ago. Also, I was just in a store and they had one, I almost picked up a second one. I think it is supposed to be collector friendly packaging, However, it seems sealed up really tight, not like the Distinctive Dummies packaging. Did you open yours? Is it just that I am being too careful with the packaging or does it seem really sealed up? Normally, I don't open anything. However, I wanted to adjust Leatherface inside the packaging.

It's kinda "collector friendly". Some here have been able to just pull theirs apart (depending on how tightly it's sealed). I've never been able to do that. I think you're supposed to cut (carefully) along the perforated lines. Then you can open and seal back whenever you want. Of course, then it's no longer MIB. Mine are kept airtight & sealed, but I really want to enjoy them.
Ya, I figured that. There will be no cutting of the packaging here..lol Still contemplating getting another one. However, I know me. I will get another one to open, get home and then not open that one either. lol

Straight as an arrow. Big Bad Toy store really came through. However, you and I share the same obsession with things. Leatherface's head is somewhat turned to the side and you and I aren't fond of that. lol.. Also, there is something that looks like a piece of something stuck to the inner package right in front of Leatherface's forehead. It is not on the figure itself, but it almost looks like a splinter of wood or something stuck to the bubble card. It is a bit distracting.

Would someone be willing to pick me up two of the Pamela/ Jason figures?
Scored some pretty cool stuff this weekend while visiting Oklahoma City (I recently relocated to Albuquerque.)
At Hastings I managed to snag the Jason/Pamela set. I was able to use a 30% off coupon which knocked it down to around $36 bucks.
At Half Price Books in South OKC a collector unloaded his vampire toy collection! They had David (Neca; Cult Classics), McFarlane Monster's Dracula, Sideshow Silver Screen 12 inch Dracula, and a few other items. Using a 40% off coupon I walked away with the Silver Screen Dracula for less than $50. I'm reallllllly excited about this find! I wish they would have had the Dracula from the 6 inch line, but maybe that's just me being greedy. :D
Great score! You can't find those kinds of deals in So. Cal. (too many collectors out here). That Dracula goes for four or five times what you paid (great figure, too). Which store had the Pamela/Jason set?
My latest gets are
30 garbage pail kids cards
A creature action figure (the new looking one / mezco toys)
A picture from earth vs the spiders
And when I went to the grocery store I found 2 cheap tacky-looking zombie toys in the kids section.
One was "Bill Guts", and it's exactly what it sounds like. So I had to get him and captain maggot to my game room. tynhrt
(ps: they are extra cute since alot of the zombies had fun names like "slashed". "zombie rotten" etc while referring to celebritys.

I managed to pick it up at Hastings, they had two of each NECA exclusive. Now that I'm back in ABQ and there are about 6 Hastings stores in the area I'm wondering if I could find another, there's not too many collectors out here that I know of.

A friend of mine in Utah got his and said it's remarkably sturdy. I was telling him to fill it with newspapers and then maybe marbles at the bottom to keep it from tipping over, but he said he really doesn't see that as being an issue.

It is VERY thick and sturdy. I think it's one of the best monster items in years, especially if you're a Lovecraft fan. I'm not a customizer (not figures anyway), but even if I were I think I would leave this one pure. It's that good.

I saw Pacific Rim for the first time a few days ago. It was good. However, I really would have liked to see them mix in some actual man made monsters. Good old fashioned guys in monster suits slugging it out. I think the only man made effects where the organs from the monsters that were in the labs and the private collection.

A far more limited item, of course, but it still would have been awesome. I just can't imagine going through the process of making up these cards and not checking your facts.

I remember getting a full figure Frankenstein at Universal Studios when I was a kid from one of these. So cool to watch them work and you got a cool toy afterwards. Great memory.

Glenn, that brings back so many memories. My dad worked at a huge Sears when I was a kid. They had one of these machines in the basement floor. The characters would change every week and I would be there with my quarter. I didn't care if I liked the piece, I just wanted to see the machine at work. I felt like Dr. Frankenstein pulling "the lever", haha.

I've heard members here say that they pop up from time to time. Horror Hunter's pieces are from 2013, so they're recent enough. I would love to see one at Universal Studios. If they had one that made a cool Creature, it would be worth the price of admission.
Mold-A-Rama---wow that's really cool. I have to admit I don't remember these. I would have been all over that machine when I was a kid. We drove up to Universal back in 1980 I guess, but I was like 5 yrs old. I don't remember seeing that, or seeing it anywhere else. Too bad.
I see you can buy the machines from online vendors. If I had a mansion with a proper monster room, I'd had that to the collection for sure.
Just did a quick search and Mold-A-Rama machines were all over the place: zoos, museums, Disney world, etc. Can't believe I don't remember these.

So true. Do these things even exist anymore? A shame if they don't. I think kids today would still enjoy them.
There are several Mold-A-Rama machines in the Chicago area, and several Mold-A-Matic machines in Florida.

My favorite Mold-A pieces in my collection are my eight Sinclair Dinoland figures. I also have some others that I either got on a trip to Florida or ordered off fleaBay. If you buy this stuff on the 'Bay be careful of scoundrels passing off new MARs as boomer pieces. ;)

I remember Sinclair and their mascot Dino the Dinosaur. I used to have the inflatable Dino that my dad got me at a Sinclair gas station when I was a kid. Whole point being that Dino and his brethren wound up in our gas tanks. :)

I also picked up the $7.00 3.75" Kylo Ren figure, the new Dark Lord from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." Sadly, these new figures have just five points of articulation. I'm sure they will do the new figures in super-articulated 3.75" scale, especially once they release figures of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2.

Got some new monster stuff from Amazon today:
(http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b552/horrorhunter/BigBucketOfMonsters_zpsjrljdl2p.jpg)
The NECA Godzilla (1954) figure (LOVE IT! Way Cool, Daddyo! 8))
Also received the Big Bucket Of Monsters, a big tube full of 100 assorted monster playset figures:
Crouching Werewolf
Frankenstein
Zombie with a screwdriver in an eye munching on an arm
Demon
Gillman (these are VERY COOL 8))
Godzilla (these Gs are really nice as well)
Mothra
Tombstone with skull
Cyclops
Tombstone (cross) with zombie hand
Giant Spider (the legs are all over the place on these)
Mummy (these guys aren't shambling, they're HAULIN' ASS!)
Dracula
These figures are very nice overall. All but two of the Draculas stand well on solid bases (except those spiders). As evidenced by the pic they come in light gray and dark gray. I counted them and sure enough there are 100 total figures. Not bad for 18 bucks with free shipping on $35 order (standard Amazon deal). These are by SCS Direct, Inc., Milford, CT, but they are Made In China (natch :laugh:).
These look so cool I'm tempted to buy another tube and crank out another custom monster playset, and if I could find some victims and/or ANGRY VILLAGERS *hint, hint* I just might.

He's good. DD should utilize his talent in the event no good poster art is readily available.
Just checked your Monsters For Sale posting and it looks like DD has already utilized him for the Silent Monsters line. Those cards are great, probably the best DD card art aside from original poster art. His name didn't register with me at first, but I'll remember it hereafter. Congrats on the fine Vinnie P. painting.

Oops, sorry, I haven't really kept up on the Vincent Price line (as beautiful as they all are). I'm sure the Aragon art is fantastic. What I meant is , this would be a great card for a future edition of the same character (if you ever decide to revisit some of the more popular ones). Almost all of the DD cards are works of art on their own. I can't see these great figures without their beautiful original backer cards as part of the whole picture. And, yes Anton, consistency is everything when displaying these lines together.

But they are CRISP B/W and HC. I have several volumes of the Dark Horse Creepy reprints and though the paper is different they are still high quality. I also own several EC reprint color annual volumes from Gemstone as wells as the EC artist series. Can't have too many EC books. Still after the EC library Saddle Justine /Western Gunfighter set which is HTF. I could have bought it outright at $189.99 but decided to try a minimal bid of $150. Ended up getting smoked and losing it at around $215. DOH!

These cool Monster Candy Box poster prints came in the mail today. They're a good size at 8.5"x22" (guitar for scale). Hand printed on heavy cardstock. I really dig that they went to the trouble of finding matching photos of the line drawings on the actual boxes.
This seller always has neato stuff: http://stores.ebay.com/moongoon253?_trksid=p2056016.l2563 (http://stores.ebay.com/moongoon253?_trksid=p2056016.l2563)

There was no Bride box (except for one that Terry and I made).
I think I would have liked the original art better.
Yeah I knew there was no real Bride box.
The original minimalist artwork is cool too. It's the thought that counts!

That's great! But in case she didn't send a message right away I just want to put this out there: she's a one woman show and seems to be always slammed with orders. It may take a little bit to get your stuff. I've ordered from her twice, a Hank Williams Sr. candle for a buddy this summer and these. It took almost a month for the Hank Sr. one, and I ordered all of these August 30th and posted them here the day they came. I wasn't in any kind of rush for them so neither instance was a problem for me. So please be patient with her, it'd be a shame for her to get negative feedback for being popular.

I'm old enough to remember these when they first came out! Sadly, I didn't buy it then. I do have a set of the American printings of various "Doctor Who" novelizations, the ones that had the introduction by Harlan Ellison. I've also got various editions of the originals, including episode novelizations that came out after the original series ended. I remember "The Two Doctors" coming out in Fall 1993 with a "Thirtieth Anniversary" tag on the cover. Too bad nothing was done for the fortieth anniversary in 2003.

I got lucky on my Wolfman Pozer. I bought him a few years ago when they were blowing them out at Toy Liquidators for 15 bucks. That's around the time they were blowing out X-Plus Harryhausen figures dirt cheap and I scored a few of those as well. Toy Liquidators were part of Kay-Bee Toys and those are all gone now.
Weird how at certain times in our collecting lives we stumble on these finds that turn out to be a big deal years later when the aftermarket prices start to soar. I'm glad I bought so much of what non-collectors considered "junk" over the years. I just bought what I liked, and most of it turned out to be what other collectors like as well. When in doubt
buy it. Most of my regrets are the things I didn't buy when I had the chance.
Wow that would have been awesome 15 bucks sounds great I got it for 50 but the last time I ask at the monsterpalooza they wanted 200 then the room spin

Today, I bought Tales to Astonish #96 (http://www.comics.org/issue/21373/) which was published October 1967 and in that year cost only twelve cents. I paid ten dollars for said comic and was taking it out of its bag and board in order to scan it. What happened next taught me a valuable lesson that I will not soon forget. From this day forward, I will never foolishly think that any piece of tape sticking out from the flap of a comic book bag will never find its way onto the front of the book while its contents is being removed. Sadly, I learned this lesson the hard when I found myself faced with this scenario. My attempt to carefully remove the tape did significant damage to the blurb in the bottom right corner of the cover. What makes this unfortunate outcome more painful is the fact that just moments prior to effectively devaluing a most recent purchase I practically made the same mistake with the first appearance of Deathlok (http://www.comics.org/issue/27633/) but the consequence was much less severe. In Hindsight, even leaving the tape on the issue's surface would have been a better alternative as this Silver Age collectible now has two additional defects. I actually put more tape on to try and salvage some of the harm done to my once nice looking display piece, reducing it to a lowly reading copy by receiving the honor of what graders call an "amatuer repair". Thinking about what I could have done to prevent this mishap makes me want to cry :'(

OUCH!
What I do is fold over one end of the tape, to make it easy to remove. When I want to remove a mag, I completely remove the tape from the flap and stick it on the outside of the bag for safekeeping till I'm ready to close it.
TAPE IS THE COLLECTOR'S ENEMY!!!
Sorry for being loud but I HATE tape with a passion. As Mike stated, it's best to completely remove the tape from the flap before removing the comic/mag. I keep mine in thin mylar bags (Arklites) and instead of tape I use very small labels which come off easily. Tape leeches into mylar and becomes very hard to remove later, so it's a poor option for holding flaps.
I really despise that damn messy "security tape" on DVDs. What a crock.. most of 'em are 5-10 bucks now, and shrinkwrapped. ::)

I feel your pain my friend. On the rare occasion, I will receive a figure in mint condition inside the original box. Sometimes while trying to find a spot for it or even if I want to re arrange items in the monster room, there will be accidents. Like I'll put the box on the floor while clearing off some space on a shelf. Then something will fall off the shelf and drop on the box making a mark or a dent. Actually, this happens to me often, so I don't mess with the stuff in the monster often. Seems like when I try to re arrange or do something in there, something gets damaged.

I like to keep tape as far away from my books as possible. Those little labels are much less likely to cause problems. I believe in the idea that
if something can go wrong it eventually will, so I like to avoid the possibility of problems.

I probably went a little overboard considering my lack of space, but I was bitten by the blowmold bug with Halloween looming. Calling it quits now except for maybe a couple of the different types of smaller haunted houses. I really like the green ones and the thick one by Empire from '69:

They were still called Legacy Collection, the newer ones have the word "Complete" added.

Amazon, or ebay, or other DVD dealers. Look around for a good deal!
This guy came in the mail today. Does anyone have any info on him? I've tried searching every combination of "1998/terminator/cyborg/robot/figure" and nothing came up besides his eBay listing. He's 5 ¾" high and marked 1998 RCI Universal Studios. The sculpting and paint job is pretty impressively detailed. The pistol is removable, and after unwrapping him and inspecting him, HIS SKIN PEELS OFF!! How cool?! AND - the skull and spinal cord detach! It looks like maybe he had other skin pieces as well, and maybe covers on his legs, there's little pegs on the sides of his knee. For $4.50 I couldn't resist.

That was especially true in the days before laser scanning technology. Even then, it was still difficult to get the really small, 3.75" figure likenesses. Character Options has been doing a really great job with their "Doctor Who" 3.75" female figures. Their Amy Pond and Clara Oswald are spot on! Can't wait for a Rose Tyler and Sarah Jane Smith in 1/18 scale.

Now, I'm just confused (as usual).
I want to thank Jim for reminding me about the Universal Monster Glassware. When I saw your post I immediately called my local Spencer's too inquire if they had a set. Thankfully they did. When I went to pick them up the salesperson ask if I knew about the Frankenstein throw they also had. I had vaguely remembered seeing this also on the board here but had totally had forgotten about it. So I puchased it also. So all in all it was a great day for monsters. :D (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/16/5d60e3892d018abcc8b000672111eb1f.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/16/44e652bf30d271d394898cb2e6f42f09.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/16/8af08ce807331e5b1ac81b39fc222007.jpg)

I agree, but the bank I was referring to is one of those ultra rare '60s items that's quite expensive when they ever turn up. A top company (probably Japanese) could produce blow mold Big Frankies and clean up. They could do bank versions too, but I'm more interested in just the accurate BM figure. Lotta BM freaks out here (of which I'm one).

the zombie has exceeded his grow tank and needs ANOTHER larger grow tank...
when will it end ?
projected to grow 4 times the original size and now over 5 times the original size and still growing...
so he becomes my size on Halloween and takes over my house ? ?

OK here he is as per your request. Plz note he is a bit taller, had to lean him back to get him to stand up, as he is wet. 'Note some definition is lost. Since he can shrink down again and then grow larger again, I need to see what he looks like after several cycles of shrinking down and growing larger. Will he just become a blob without much definition at all ?

Actually it feels like hard plastic with a little bit of flex on the outside layer.
My first item that grows in water and shrinks down to original size without water.
I expected much more of a big sponge feel.
Experiments shall continue to find out more about this strange creature.

Yes, Mike - easy to picture it splattering (or at least bouncing) on the ground in true water balloon fashion.
It's made from some strange compound - that needs some online research.

I couldn't bring myself to break up my "tube". I figured the count would be off but there were exactly 100. Guess I'm too picky about keeping things intact. (we need an emoticon for "shrugs shoulders" ;D)
I paid half as much as the whole container costs, but I just didn't want to deal with getting rid of the other 98.

Most of them are nice playset figures. If I ever do another custom monster playset it will probably include a few of these. I would have to order another tube if I did that since I want one complete example for my collection.

We scored a bag of several dozen of the dinosaurs and a bag of several dozen of the ponies at Target for a buck each! We knew immediately that they'd be ideal for the Halloween treat bags we were planning.
:)
Sadly the Target stores in Canada closed up after barely eighteen months of operation. Worse yet Target had taken over the Zellers stores in Canada and the Zellers store in our neighbourhood carried a huge stock of Halloween candy and was therefore the place to go for Halloween candy. Without the Zellers store to keep the supermarkets and drug stores in the neighbourhood honest, there are no longer huge markdowns on Halloween candy the day before Halloween! The other retailers have no problem selling basically all their stock by Halloween so they aren't compelled to mark things down! Bummer.

They would be fun to paint. They would also be good for tabletop gaming with the right rules. I would use some in another custom monster playset. All of these things would be cool for me with an
extra tube. I just always like to have one complete example in nice condition and keep it that way for my collection. Sometimes I feel more like an archivist than a collector, but I just feel compelled to keep one example of each thing "as new".
Ciné Art offered a number of ways to go with their Frankenstein busts. I have one of the 3-ring sales binders from Ciné Art.
The Wholesale Prices:
1. The unassembled kit sold for $360.00 ea. for 2-4 pieces. (2 piece min.) It sold for $295.00 for 5 pieces or more.
2. Assembly and painting of the kit was offered by Ciné Art for $400.00 more.
3. "Full Painted Bust" was available in the 250 Limited Ed. painted & signed by Gino Acevedo for $900.00.
Suggested Retail Prices:
1. The unassembled kit - $595.00.
2. Assembly & painting - no quote
3. "Full Painted Head Bust" - $1700.00.
The Limited Ed. of 900 Resin 1:1 busts evidently also encompassed the optional hand-painted bust done by Gino Acevedo, which would be limited to 250. (I'm sure none of these numbers were ever reached, otherwise they would be all over eBay.) I just got one of the 250. It is inscribed #153 of 900 and is signed by Acevedo with an electric pen.
I was pretty happy to find this example of the "Full Painted Head Bust" listed on eBay with a starting bid of $599.00 - with free shipping:
(https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5758/22134650183_6ea98c90e1_c.jpg)
I was even happier when no one else bid! This darn thing probably sold for a "discounted" $1495.00 when it was issued.
My picture doesn't do it justice.

In my opinion this still remains the best Karloff Frankenstein bust ever produced. Congrats on a fantastic score Monsters For Sale! I have the smaller version that I bought from the Johnson Smith catalog. Interesting thing about those is that the ones I've seen from Spencer's have glossy black hair and base. Mine has flat black hair and base.
If you pick up a copy of Dr. Shockers Vault of Horror DVD there's a nice piece on the Imagineering company that was responsible for the Cine-Art busts and offers some good information from the creators on the Cine-Art pieces.

I was even happier when no one else bid! This darn thing probably sold for a "discounted" $1495.00 when it was issued.
My picture doesn't do it justice.
Awesome!!!

So my son comes home today with this little gift for dear ole dad. Says "It has Shock Monster" and "The Ghoul" on it. I've trained him well considering he's only 16 years old.

Kinda hard to search for these by size. Poor quality control on these means actual measurements can vary quite a bit - but, basically they were aiming for 8", 18" and 24" plush toys.

I like the expression on the smallest one's face. He looks kinda serious like he's got something on his mind. :)

Just the ones I really, really like. I'm not very fond of the Super Deformed version of the 1989 Batmobile, so I usually skip it whenever it gets reissued. I also don't collect the larger scaled HW, because it's just too much money, plus I don't have anywhere to display them.

I hope that my mentioning on this board the first few days when the new Batmobile movie car came out - helped to contribute alerting you to it. But of course it may have already been on a list you were watching. 'Nice score! 8)
I honestly don't remember how I first heard about it, TB. I've been getting the Hot Wheels Batmobiles since Mattel got the DC Comics license. I try to get the 3.75" action figures, too, but that gets expensive. I basically only get Batman, Joker, and Catwoman figures now.

I'll be selling a bunch of mine next year. I have too many duplicate figures. Some were bought with the intent of customizing them. Since arthritis in my hands prevents me from doing those customs, now, it makes no sense to hang on to them. Fortunately, many are still carded.

Just wanted to chime in for a second and say, not only do I love checking out everyones newest gets, I like to hear when someone gets, lets call it, a "deal". Like finding something on Evilbay cheap, or at a yardsale, or half off sales. I don't know why, I just think its cool because Im sure all of us have paid up for certain things that we really wanted or just couldn't find cheap, its nice to hear success stories. Guess it gives me motivation lol. I know I will spend weeks and months wanting something and just waiting, searching until the right priced one comes along. Sometimes it do, sometimes it don't.
The thrill of the chase!!

That's why I like to share great deals I find. It lets the other members know they should not give up. There are still deals out there to be had.
My favorite of all time was another member who said he found a clean Clinton Frankenstein Bucket atop a pile of trash by the curb!

Got this guy from Warpo, 12" Legends of Cthulhu "Cthulhu, The Great Old One" figure. ThinkGeek had a one-day sale where it was 50% off plus free shipping, otherwise I never could have afforded this guy. I'll try to take some pix of mine battling action figures from other 3.75" toy lines over the weekend.

I like the show. Havent gotten into the figures. My son has some. But they are quite nice. If I didnt have so much crap, errrr...high quality collectibles, in my house already, I would get them. :angel:

Still, when so many people in the world have to struggle to get enough to eat, it's hard to be cranky about not having enough space for all the stuff I can afford to buy.

I feel guilty too because of my collection and a lot of people have very little, that's why I donated some of my collection to kids for Christmas.

Space is a problem for me also. But when the kids got married and moved out I expanded my Universal Room by cleaning out the side of the basement and knocking down the wall and making one large room 16 x 40. My collection is a result of a lifetime of collecting but I do miss the kids. Only get to see them on weekends because of everyone's work schedule. Like the rest of you I am sure, wall space is even a bigger problem. I have run out of room to put stuff on the walls. I might have to build a west wing just to get more wall space to finish hanging the pictures I have left.

Also have the Mummy, invisible man & Mole people. Still working on the rest.
I like these crude little figures.
They remind me of the typical Japanese toys that were sold in the '50's, when I was a kid. That was back when "Made In Japan" stamped on the bottom of a product meant "Cheap and Inferior".
Toys with detailing like Sideshow's 8-inch figures would have would have astounded '50's kids.
I also like the fact that these were sold blind, in identical boxes. You either had to buy a whole case, or know another person who was buying these and trade your duplicates.
I was told that these were marketed by a Japanese candy company. But I have never seen an unopened box. Was there actually candy inside with the figure - à la baseball cards and gum?

Oddly enough, the character name is marked on the outside of the package for this series. The white square above the picture of the Frankenstein's monster figurine lists figure C. 狼男, which is the Wolf Man. If I remember correctly, these did have a hard milk candy in them. The series was an exclusive to a Japanese department store.
I finally got in contact with Amok and they have a Frankenstein and Dracula available. So I ordered.

Funny you should say that, my original set of these were bought by a friend of a friend's grandmother the day they went on sale in Tokyo. She gamely trekked out to pic them up for us, but ended up getting doubles of the Wolf Man (C) and one less of the Mole Man (G). Not because she didn't read Japanese, she was a native speaker, but because the lettering was too small for her to read clearly!

Japanese candy is something else. We have Asian markets all around where I live. I appreciate much of their rice crackers and cookies, and even things like dried squid (think fishy-tasting jerky) - but I have never quite got the hang of enjoying what the Japanese think of as "candy".

Yea they are pretty cool. I seen them a while ago on eBay, someone was selling all of them individually.
I picked up a couple of them at a toy show, so I figured little by little I would get them as I see them. It's a challenge to find the rest of them at a reasonable price.

Yeah, I'm planning to grab the Fly and Nos myself. Not color variants though. I'm wondering if they're going to get to all 17 of the Horror World figures Bandai made in the middle '80s?

Had they done color variants? I know Hot Topic has had exclusive stuff for some of the Mystery Mini sets, but I think this one only had variants for The Crow and the Gremlin. Nosferatu and the Fly were rarer ones, so I was happy to get them.
The Metaluna Mutant was from the first Sci-Fi series, and he was one of the big rares, but no one seemed to know who he was, or cared, and he ended up being an easy score.

When it comes to Hot Topic, most of the consumers who shop there almost never realize what is available. Especially Horror related.

There were variants (or chase fig.) for Hitchcock and Cthulhu. Can't remember if they were b/w, or glow?

There's a b&w Hitchcock and I *think* (knowing how dangerous that is) and b&w Nosferatu. I had no idea the Mutant was uncommon, but I'm glad it wasn't expensively popular!

Hitchcock and Cthulhu had the variants in the specialty store set. That's the one comic shops, toys r us, and so on carry. Pretty much the standard set.

I misremembered. He's a 1/24, not a 1/72 like I thought. Those were the Mars Attacks! Martian and Rocketeer. But I guess he'd be considered an uncommon. As far as I know, there's only one Nosferatu, but the colors they chose are muted enough that he could easily pass for either. Nowhere close to the warm colors Sideshow dressed him in.

'Saw this today and purchased it immediately. I may buy another one just to enjoy detail painting the zombie and his brain. The game comes with a special zombie game, so it's more than just standard Yahtzee. The special zombie dice has pictures on it, such as a hand grenade, a med kit and a zomie head.

ReAction Rocky Horror (https://flic.kr/p/Czs1eP) by Ian McLean (https://www.flickr.com/photos/therinofandor/), on Flickr
I guess these count as "Horror" toys? Loved finding the ReAction figures for "Rocky Horror Picture Show" recently - locally! ("Zing Pop Culture" store at Penrith Plaza, Sydney, Australia.) The current wave has six figures, but the line will probably have additional characters and costume variations eventually - but meanwhile I made a quick custom of Rocky himself by wrapping Johnny Lawrence from "The Karate Kid" into some paper bandages from the bathroom cabinet.
I don't get the lack of stuff for the actual character of Rocky. They didn't do a Pop! Vinyl or a reaction figure.
I wonder what's up.

A package arrived today for something I almost forgot I had ordered. BBC Shop had a one-day BOGO sale just before Xmas, and I ordered two "Doctor Who" TARDIS key pendants. Regularly $14.95, got two for that price. They appear a bit smaller than past, unlicensed versions by Spirit of Light™ and 1-800-TREKKER. These are fully licensed and based on the version used by the Seventh and Eighth Doctors in 1996's "Doctor Who: The Movie." (Which were actually recasts of the 1-800-TREKKER version, as the BBC had lost the original prop, designed by Jon Pertwee.)

Remember the "big head" statues, "Headliner XL", that were the foreunners of "Headknockers"? They did a 1999 statue for "Rocky Horroer Picture Show" and included Rocky himself.

Creature at the Ritz, 2013 (https://flic.kr/p/egFsKW) by Ian McLean (https://www.flickr.com/photos/therinofandor/), on Flickr
A few months ago, I bought an Uncle Gilbert (from "The Munsters") to accompany my "Creature from the Black Lagoon" action figures.
I think I may have already shared this slideshow of my Mego-style Creech attending a 2013 theatrical premiere of the 3D version in Sydney, Australia, but I've now added to it - because Uncle Gilbert coincidentally attended a theatrical screening of "Munster, Go Home!" in the same cinema.

Not much. The only problem is that it's hard to detect repros. The blue ones pictured look like a different shade than the originals (but that could be due to lighting). Also, many are missing claws or fingers, mask, etc.. I'll check it out. I would just love to find someone who is selling their mint original set, rather than buy one here & one there.
Can anyone identify this guy?
'Found it in a drawer and all I remember is it is from the early 90's.
It has 2 phillips screws in its back. A cheesy knock-off of some kind?
He stands up or sits on his bike. Maybe I will give him to a biker friend.
BUT ....... what is he called ?

'Gotta photo of an old rare Halloween skeleton tonight. 'Just one toe missing. 'Appears to be made of thin metal. I did not touch it to verify what it is made of. Isn't it grand to live in a neighborhood where nobody takes each other's Halloween stuff? Even when the guy is almost trying to irritate folks with how long his display remains lit. His backyard is also lit up every night, but it's a tall fence to block seeing everything. This is a neighbor who STILL has his Halloween decorations up and this photo was taken JAN 26, 2016. Each year I find a house in my neighborhood that has kept the Halloween torch burning and take a photo.
Perhaps The Batman should visit this neighbor early one evening and give him some kind of prize.

HAA GOOD one! Cool taste... For Halloween he decorated his entire backyard and the backyard gate that is shown in that photo I took. During Christmas the front porch and front lawn and front door were coated with Christmas lights and stuff. Meanwhile the backyard kept Halloween going from
a week before 10/31 until today 1/26 and I will watch to see how many more days he keeps his Halloween stuff out. He is someone I need to meet, indeed. CHEERS everyone.
After almost three months, I finally got a replacement for my 5.5" Twelfth Doctor action figure. (The original figure I received had some warping where the right arm bicep attaches to the upper arm.) Anyway, I was finally able to take some nice photos of him. Background is one of Entertainment Earth's exclusive Action Stage dioramas, #15 "Space Sucks!"

I can't decide if I'm happy with the new 5" figures. I'm happy they're doing them again, and the likeness on them is surprisingly excellent, but the doctor looks the worst out of all of them, and what episode is this outfit from?
It's his basic outfit, minus the matching vest. I don't know why they didn't do the vest on the 5.5" scale, but did it for the 3.75" figure. What's really weird is that the upcoming 3.75" purple-shirted 12th Doctor has had the vest removed.

To the best of my knowledge, the only other upcoming 3.75" Twelfth Doctor figure is the space-suited one from "Kill the Moon" (Series 8).(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160128/3ca32ec7e53619a579e313a7767440e4.jpg)

I'm not thrilled with the doctors. They're just painting the one outfit into facsimiles of others he's actually worn. The polka dot shirt is supposed to be his moth eaten sweater that he wears under his hooded jacket. I do hope we get the space suit version in 5". Hopefully with a helmet. I'm also hoping for the newer cybermen, strax, Jenny, vastra, and more. The last few seasons are full of characters that would lend themselves well to toys.
I'd really like to see the 3.75" line expanded to include other Doctors, especially the War Doctor and Ninth Doctor. Also would love to see a 3.75" Davros that could be removed from his life support chair.
Yeah, the "polka dot" shirt didn't even have a collar. I think it was an old T-shirt he wore over a white undershirt. It would be nice if they did the proper hoodie-under-the-coat sculpt. Either in 3.75" or 5.5". They could do a 3.75" "The Magician's Apprentice" two-pack with Davros and Twelve in the hoodie, checkered pants, and sonic sunglasses!

HAA GOOD one! Cool taste... For Halloween he decorated his entire backyard and the backyard gate that is shown in that photo I took. During Christmas the front porch and front lawn and front door were coated with Christmas lights and stuff. Meanwhile the backyard kept Halloween going from
a week before 10/31 until today 1/26...

They also made that ceramic Frankenstein's Monster light which is very well done, along with two different gift bags, each side featuring one of the four monsters they utilized in their line. I think that's it. Anyone remember anything else. That was, what, 1991?
Does anyone have pic of a Hamilton Frankenstein?

I'd forgot that those bags were Hamilton. I have the Creature/Wolf Man bag. It's also 1991.
I don't remember the Frank light. Anybody got a pic?
So, each of the Hamilton sets included Frank, Drac, Wolf and Creature? I think I've seen all the sets, but I don't remember the other water-balls.
Here are the Hamilton Gifts 4" monsters and the 14" monsters.

Some of the Kids' Meals sets had cool displays.
Those are eBay auction photos from long ago. I passed on it because it was priced way too high for me, I don't collect
all the monsters, and
who has the room?
Those small Hamilton monsters are great! I particularly like the Dracula and Wolf Man.

I don't have a pic, but it's a standard large, clear plastic container w a paper insert w the Universal logo on it. I think it had 20 pencils in it, but I don't remember. I know I didn't stock it at the time as cost was close to $100.

Was that per display, or per case? A case would probably have held 2-6 displays, I would think.

This was per unit (the unit being the entire display). The didn't offer individual pieces or single character bundles for the pencil toppers. There was no indication of a master case or any other price break.
Wow. That's a crazy cost for something like that NOW, let alone 20 years ago.

They probably assembly line it. One does the undercoat, next does the airbrushing on the flesh, next does the blacks, and so on.

Yes and they could save time molding them in black.

"Dusted"? What is this "dusting" of which you speak?
LOL! Glad I'm not the only one.
And thanks for the compliments guys. That's one of the best things about UMA. It's really cool to be part of a community where others appreciate the fun of collecting. Pretty much every time I add something to my collection, i think "gotta post this on UMA soon, I know the fellas are gonna dig this."
Thanks again!

Awesome set The Batman! I like collecting rock n roll monster stuff too. I've posted pictures of my Kiss, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath stuff before.
Found these in the supermarket this morning .. they followed me home.

Received a few things from Amazon today including a bag of the Aliens figures. These pics are off the Amazon website. I have no idea why they don't have a pic of the header card and bag. They look pretty good.

I try to buy anything Monster/Dino Playset related as long as it doesn't really suck. I also picked up this Big Bucket Of Zombies to go with my Big Bucket Of Monsters. The Zombies tube is a bit shorter and the figures have smaller bases than some of the monsters. The zombies still look okay in a cartoonish stylized way. The label in the tube isn't bad either.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51OXKuC6MBL.jpg)
We don't get much monster playset stuff anymore so I'm glad for anything. Too bad the UniMonkeys are so hard to deal with and that UniMon Monster Playset Figure Bagged Set never materialized.
Both sets are really well done. That's exactly the type of toys I use to love as a kid.
Wow! Cool Zombies!
Got one of these older World Candies boxes. I know these came out sometime between the original "Candy Cigarettes" boxes and whenever the more common ones (green Creature) came out ('80s?, '90s?). Anybody got any more accurate info than that?

Very cool horrorhunter. I have the Big Bucket of Monsters set. I think it's made by same company as Zombie set. One of these days I'll open it and set the guys up around the monster room. The Alien set is way cool too. I gotta order that.

Yeah, they're both from SCS Direct. There are still plenty of Zombie Buckets, but it looks like the Monsters have dried up. There are no Big Bucket Of Monsters on Amazon, and there was only one listing on evilBay for 47 bucks. Maybe they got the attention of the UniMonkeys and it was C&D time.
I actually ordered an extra BBOM a few days ago for like $22 and there were scads of 'em on eBay then. I matched up both of my BBOM and put the 100 figures I'm keeping for myself in my best container in even numbered groups for a balanced set. I'm selling off the extras over time in sets on eBay. If I had ordered the extra BBOM earlier I could have sent Mike Scott a couple of Creatures, but at that time I just had the one Bucket with 100 figures and I didn't want to break them up. Sorry, Mike, but I'm glad you got your Creatures from elsewhere alright.
The Zombie Bucket is okay, but the Big Bucket Of Monsters is by far the coolest. 8)

I love collecting original movie posters, but Ive also wanted to start covering my ceiling w/ them. Couldn't bring myself to poking holes thru originals and Im too cheap to spend $20+ on a reprint. Just found a guy on ebay who makes these 27x40 reprints on a nice vinyl and they are inexpensive. I got these 2 for $21 including shipping. Yes they are off a printer. Yes they look like it. But for me they are GREAT filler at a reasonable price. Plus he has all kinds of cool posters. Some obscure stuff. This is my lastest set...

Received these three books in the mail today, Roy Thomas Presents: The Heap.
(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/nMEAAOSwDuJWt0sd/s-l1600.jpg)
Really nice reprint volumes of the golden age Heap stories. Before Swamp Thing, Man-Thing, and the other muck monsters there was The Heap. I have the Skywald appearances in the '70s, so I'm glad to have these golden age stories in nice reprint volumes. I bought them from KLS Books through a eBay listing for 50 bucks plus reasonable shipping. They were packed really well, and survived the rigors of the USPS unscathed. Yay, Muck Monsters! ;D
I'm aware this seems a little out of place in a toy section. I thought about starting a new thread for latest book purchases in Memorable Memorabilia but since we already have Latest Gets and Weekly Finds (for the older stuff) it seemed unnecessary.

Hey Doc. Nah, my forays into custom playsets have wound down. I just like to pick up examples of this stuff for my collection.
Although... I am putting together a limited run of custom bagged monster playset figures with various mixes of some dupes, and custom header cards. Kind of a nod to the cheap rack toys from the '60s/'70s that are near and dear to many of us Monsterkids. My first series called
Hellish Monsters is heavy on the figures from Big Bucket Of Monsters with some zombies and monster hunters thrown in. I'm putting together 13 of them with 25 pcs. each and then retire the header card. I'm keeping 2 of them for my collection, I sold #3 last month, and I plan to offer the rest one-per-month on evilBay till they're gone. The main reason I did this to start with was to make myself something cool to add to my collection, then I tested the waters by offering one on eBay last month and it attracted quite a bit of interest so I decided to do a limited run with the header card.

The header art is an homage to 2 very diverse types of monster art- Frazetta and Eerie Pubs. Slick, classic work by the master Frazetta, and cheap, down and dirty thrown together goresploitation by Myron Fass' Eerie Publications. The summit and the dungeon, but both dear to us Monsterkids who grew up with it. :)

I have a question:
I was at a toyshow this past Sunday and picked this up for $10:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/smittyboy63/scaleDST-USMSEL-81119_zpsyaozgccp.jpg)
In hindsight, I am thinking I might have already bought him years ago. Why? I haven't seen my toy collection in over 3 years now. It's in storage. The other day I was able to view my old inventory file and saw that I had bought "DST: Universal Monsters: Series 3: Phantom of the Opera". Is that what this is?? Did they ever release this without the organ? I can't remember buying it before, but I might have, LOL.
Does anybody else accidentally buy duplicates? I hate when I do that.
I also picked up the Tales From The Cryptkeeper: Vampire as well.
The toyshow sucked though. I'm not use to toyshows out in the boonies. It was nothing but good ol' boys, and tables and tables of Hotwheels, Matchbox, and farm toys. Only one guy had real toys and he was at the table I bought my monsters at.
Going to a big toyshow in Baltimore at the end of the month. Can't wait! These guys out in the boonies...they don't know how to do toys at all.

Yes, but there were two versions. The TRU without the organ and the "Select" with the organ.

Hmph! Well, I most likely bought it at TRU, so I probably have the version without the organ. Is this it?
Was the Select (organ) version sold in any stores? If not, than I own both versions now.

Pretty sure the Select version is what most stores carry. The TRU versions are Toys R Us exclusive. I wouldn't feel too bad at ten bucks though. That's a great price.

Yes, that is the TRU version.
In the SELECT, are there and accessories besides the organ (hat, mask, coat/cape, violin, music stand, etc.?

No. It comes with the unmasked figure, organ, figure base, alternate hands, music book...that's it. It should have at least had the cape.

I wasn't sure how many of the TRU acc. were in the SELECT. Thanks!

Ridiculously difficult to obtain, as Palance actually was terrified to take the role. He was superstitious about it....thinking it "marked" people. Not kidding. Photograph still is old, somewhat yellowed, and minor scuffs...probably about 40 years old, I would guess. Signature nice. Received from a reputable dealer in The Netherlands. I am very pleased with it over all. Its a funny thing when you get siggys....you have to do a lot of work, and almost be a forensic handwriting analyst before you spend a dollar. then, you have to worry about the condition of the actual item they signed too,lol. Lotta work. Anyway: me happy. ;D ;D ;D

That's so cool - we LOVE your bathroom! And that shelf is perfect. I spy lots of Disney goodies. :)
I made the kitchen island in our apartment into a tiki bar: nothing permanent and totally reversible - A total of 6 screws, 4 of those for the two shelves. Monster mugs and shrunken heads abound.

Finally got around to finishing a little learning project of mine. I've never messed with LEDs before, but it seems like there's so much atmosphere and cool finishing details to be achieved with them. This seemed like a good beginner's project: I procured the translite from the Creature pinball machine awhile back, with every intent of framing it. Then I says to myself, "Other Johnny, what if it LIT UP like it was installed on the game?" "Excellent idea, Johnny."
With a smidge of research it turns out it is a totally doable, and cheap, idea. A $15 Ikea frame, an $11 LED strip, 4 batteries, and a $1 battery holder later, and I was done. Here's some pictures of the finished product. If anyone's interested I can do a lil how-to write up. From what I saw online, it looks like this could be done with movie posters or just about any picture.

Saw these in-store a couple days ago. From a distance they look nice, but close-up I wasn't impressed. I rarely if ever collect any superhero related stuff anymore except for the occasional small Batmobile. I see these are labeled as Marvel Legends, but they are a far cry from the quality of the Marvel Legends line that was around back in the late 1990's-early 2000's...those I did collect a bunch of, but they were great toys with incredible detail. Everything at that time was going hyper-detailed - fueled by the success (and demand) of the McFarlane figures. Anyway, yeah, they are "kinda monstery", but too close to superhero stuff for me at this point. I'll pass...

Thanks, it's SO much brighter in person! It lights the living room haha. From what I could quickly find online, Planetary Pinball has the licensing to reproduce the graphics, and I found the decals on their site, but no translite. There is a "naughty" (boobs) redo of it from a European company for about $96. I got mine off the eBay.

One of my favorite Mummy figures. There is just something about the face sculpt on this one that I really like. Others may not agree. However, I think I like this version as much, if not more than both DST's versions with the sarcophagus and their recently released Mummy.

Picked up Diamond Select's Retro Phantom, from Slackers; The wife was doing a trip to the mall so I checked out Slackers, they had a few more retro figures, and some Select Munsters/Universal Monsters. I'm just not overly impressed with the Select stuff having only gotten the Mummy and Creature; other than that I'd like to pick up the Retro Creature and Wolf Man eventually.

As someone who sells the Select figures in a storefront, I have to tell you, I wish They were all Creature. He's the only one I sell regularly. Although the new Wolf Man did nicely.

How big a store do you have? (Sq. Ft.)
How many Select figures have you sold since you began carrying them? I'm jut wondering what kind of reception they have received.
How about posting a picture of your storefront and window display. You should give us your address - for any local members.

I'm not the proprietor, so I'm unsure of the exact dimensions. I'm told it's something close to 6,000 square feet of retail space, give or take. We were in two much smaller locations until October of 2013, when we moved into the new warehouse space. As it's a warehouse, I don't have much of a storefront, barring a sign.
Just to give you an idea, in the time we've been here, since the newly resculpted Creature was released by Diamond Select, we've sold 25 of them, over a third of our total Universal Select sales in the new space. The original Creature release was a terrific seller, but was unavailable for us to order after we moved. The next highest sellers are the Mummy (mk 2, in his sarcoughagus) and Dr. Jekyll at 6 each.
I sell the Creature bust bank from the same company FAR more often that their Wolf-Man, Bride of Frankenstein, Frankenstein, and Metaluna Mutant releases, at 30 to Frankenstein's Monster's 2nd place at 16. We've also sold 40 Creature Pop! Vinyl figures, which is a top selling line these days. The next highest seller was the Wolf-Man at 22.
In all cases it isn't even a close race.

Wait really i was there yesterday i bought the 8" sideshow figure.
Quote from: Lazarus on March 27, 2016, 04:20:28 AMThe next highest sellers are the Mummy (mk 2, in his sarcoughagus) and Dr. Jekyll at 6 each.
I really wanted that Jekyll but unfortunately seeing it in person it was an easy pass.

I sell the Creature bust bank from the same company FAR more often that their Wolf-Man, Bride of Frankenstein, Frankenstein, and Metaluna Mutant releases, at 30 to Frankenstein's Monster's 2nd place at 16.
I think all the banks are great but I've yet to pick any up.

I thought the Creature, Mutant, and Wolf Man banks were great. Bride and Frank weren't nearly as successful. The Karloff face on Jekyll is odd, but I think it would be improved greatly with more grey hair. The Hyde face is definitely the better of the two.

Went to another toy show today. Picked up a bunch of old 1960's Matchbox cars. I'm trying to get back my old collection...
On the way home, I figured I'd stop by TRU, just to see if they had anything interesting. Glad I stopped in! Found this guy. Is this the coolest monster toy or what? I'm a huge Bigfoot/Abominable Snowman fan. They also had a Sasquatch as well...different sculpt and all. I was torn as to which toy to buy. Surprisingly, this thing was only $20. He's made by Animal Planet. He's 16" tall, so he's pretty damn big.

Saw your post this morning and immediately RAN to Toys R Us to get one of my own. $20 for this guy? CRAZY! He's huge. I love him. And he was the last one too. They had Sasquatch too but he's definitely not as cool as Yeti. Don't much like his Marvel 6 pack. This yeti toy reminds me of the yeti from the Disneyland Matterhorn ride.

I know, it's hard to believe he's so big and so cheap. And you're right, he's much cooler looking than the Sasquatch. I didn't like the way the Sasquatch was posed - looking downward. IMHO, the Yeti has a much better pose and look to him. And yeah, TRU only had one of each, so I was really glad to have found him when I did. Animal Planet also has a Bigfoot playset as well, and I believe a couple years back they had a Yeti set too.

Some guy just paid $115 (I think it was?) for one. I had put in a $20 bid, early on, and then it went too high, so I didn't up my bid. Then when the auction closes I get a "2nd chance" offer from the seller for $20 BIN, so I snapped it up! :)

(http://www.zomboscloset.com/.a/6a00d83451d04569e2016762283c71970b-500wi)
I bought some stuff from Drive-In Moonlite Movies a few years ago, including the CD of Dracula's Greatest Hits, and the guy threw in a set of those monster cards printed on thick card stock. He had a few sets printed up to offer as premiums at a previous Monster Bash and had a couple left over, so he sent me one because I had bought a few things from him including that 7 foot Creature poster. I don't have the original card set so I was very pleased to get the reprint set on the thick cardstock. Anyway, Jack Davis is right up there with Frazetta, Bama, and Gogos IMO. :)
My Dinosaur Playsets book arrived today. It looks fantastic with many pictures of rare dino playsets and figures, and the most info you will find on this very specialized area of collecting.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51v66Ht8HqL._SX385_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg)
Most '60s/'70s Monsterkids were also Dinokids and had boxes of MPC and Marx toy dinos as well as maybe a playset or two. A few of us took it further when we became collectors and have hundreds of Marx/MPC dinos and cavemen, and a closetful of Prehistoric Playsets. For that small group of obsessed dino collectors I highly recommend this book. These are available on Amazon now. Before you know it these books will probably be OOP and cost someone a crazy amount of money on the secondary market. I've seen it happen time and again with quality specialized low-print-run items- The Warren Companion, Gathering Horror, and others. If you just want the info it's really cheap as an eBook, but I prefer something real that I can touch and add to the collection. ;)

That's really cool! This book is where I got my first bit of monster education so I'm pretty happy to have it in my collection.
I completed my set of the four McFarlane's Monsters Playsets from Series 2 with The Phantom of the Opera
Here is a photo I took of it in the store where I purchased it:

I truly miss the days when McFarlane was popping out monsters.

EDIT:
I just checked my receipt again and the store where I bought them at had many ReAction figures regularly priced at just $6.00 apiece, but since I was there during its 25th Anniversary Sale, they actually cost me only $4.50 each. My Dad and I checked out the larger of their two locations on Saturday.

OK, but I still don't see any mention of where you bought the ReAction figures. Why is it a secret?

If there are only two locations and this means that if you do not live in the same state in which they can be found in, then I have no need to refer to the store by name because you would have to be local to my area in order to make a trip to such a place worthwhile as it was no short distance to get there for even myself.

I've seen all the other ReAction figures around, but I NEVER see the Universal Monster ones anywhere. I guess they are just not as in demand as "modern" horror. What a shame.

I got excited when I found a side rack of reActions in TRU last month on clearance and saw a B&W Frank at the front of the rack. There was Frank, the Wolfman, and Creature, but only the B&W versions. And then the "clearance" was only $1 off... :-\ But that seems to be a theme with TRU clearance, at least around these parts. I passed. At $4, I'd buy a colored Creature, and as I say that, I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase.

Well, you could be right, as I do not shop at TRU with the regularity I use to. Their selection sucks anymore.

It really, really, rrreally does. The last great finds I had there were over a year ago finding 4-packs of Jakks Pacific Creepy Crawler Goop on clearance (btw, not as good as the '90s Goop), and the Surf's Up Batman and Joker figures.
I go in there expecting disappointment, and am seldom disappointed.
Although, I did find this in TRU about 1-2 months back. I think he's awesome:

When I saw all the buzz about him I happened to be going near a TRU and wanted to check him out. I will concede that, while he's not for me, I get it. Picking him up off the shelf: "Let's check out this yeti - Ok, that's pretty cool."

That's $1.77 a movie to the retailer. Universal ain't making much on classic monsters these days. No wonder they don't want to spend any money promoting them.

This guy came this week. I'm surprised no one else wanted him for $5, considering what people are trying to get for these as Buy It Nows. They aren't the prettiest series, but I do have the loose set. Loose Creech is still schmoozing with Space Ghost ("Spaceman? Space Master?")

I'd love to find one in a NM package for $5! Is this one a little dinged/creased, or is it just the light?

There's a little crunch on the bottom of the corner under the Frankenstein hand. With that plastic and the way it's molded it's hard to notice.
I pick up a few items at a toy show today in ct

The Golden puzzles were from 1990. Some were boxed (Frank, Drac, WM, Creature). Some were tray (Frank and Drac only).
I think that's a '60s Frankenstein gumball charm, no?
Earlier this week, I stopped by FYE to see if they had anything good on clearance. JAWS will always be my favorite movie, and I had been putting off picking these guys up, so today I broke down and got them. Buy one, get one free...and they were marked down to $8.99 a piece. So I threw in a HotWheels car for good measure and got the 4 of them for $18.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/smittyboy63/JAWSfigs_zps0jgrkwst.jpg)
There is a monthly toy show in my area. Pretty cool, considering I use to live in a big city and we never had them monthly...usually every 4 months. But now I live in the boondocks and I have one to go to every first Sunday of the month. Found a couple of nice pieces today...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/smittyboy63/FrankHW_zps8xvftcb5.jpg)
I was really happy to discover this one...I didn't even know these came out. Dark Shadows figures. I saw this sitting on a table at the toy show, and I thought it was a Distinctive Dummies piece. I asked the guy if it was and he had no idea what I was talking about - and he sells horror toys! This was released by Spectre Toys, and now I am left wondering. Back in the late 1990's, I was a regular on the Spawn.com toy forums. There was a guy on the forum with the name Spectre, and he was a really great sculptor. He use to come onto the forum and show off his latest custom sculpts, and he did alot of replacement heads for action figures. I saw this toy, and wondered, "Did that guy Spectre from the Spawn forum all those years back, create this toy (and company)?"

Got these in the mail today, UniMon Mexican Bootleg Playset Figures. As far as I know this is the whole set. I really hate that they didn't make a Creature. These come up on eBay sometimes in different colors. I'm pleased to have scored a green set. :)

I messaged the seller about the figures and got this reply:
"The company did only the five monsters. It was a very small company"
I like the style of these little guys. They would make good monsters for a full size Marx/MPC/Remco style playset with 60mm figures. The monsters are a little bigger than 60mm but they should be imposing. Some Marx Bathing Beauties and Remco Blue Defenders come to mind as complimentary figures. A torch-wielding mob of angry villagers would be perfect if they could be found in 60mm. A spooky castle or haunted house would make a cool setting with maybe a scary graveyard. tynhrt

I've only seen them offered as sets of 5, but they're only $15 for the set. I bought mine from a US seller so the shipping was cheap and even though the seller took a long time to ship I received them in a reasonable amount of time. The other sets that I've seen available are from a Mexican seller who only charges $6 for shipping but warns that it might take 2 months to receive the figures. Here's a link to one of his listings:

(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/HcgAAOSwqBJXU6Ta/s-l1600.jpg)
The figures are the same but they're different colors. I prefer having them all in that ghoulish shade of green, but different colors might appeal more to some collectors.
Evidently these figures are still being made in Mexico on a limited basis. You never know how long something like this will be available, so if anyone wants a set they might want to jump on them. They may disappear in a month, or they may be available for years. It's hard to tell. If I hadn't found this set already I would order one from the Mexican vendor and just wait it out.

Picked this up on ebay for $25. I'm only adding any from this line if I can get them for half price, or less. There are 6 different ones, but I might max out at 3, since there are 2 red ones, 2 glittery ones and 2 other not dissimilar ones.

I received my copy of The Art Of Ploog today.

(https://dpbfm6h358sh7.cloudfront.net/images/9116059/378127842.jpg)
This oversized hardback is beautifully printed and huge, over 350 pages. It touches on virtually everything Mike Ploog has done in his impressive career including comic book art, movie concept art, and trading card work. It's also full of comments by people who worked with him over the years. Seeing those stunning paintings for his trading card set in full page size is very cool. FPG shipped mine quickly, and it was packaged well so it arrived undamaged. It's a pleasure to add this to the monster library. FPG offers free shipping and they take PayPal, so the whole experience was hassle free and very pleasant. This book is highly recommended to Mike Ploog fans, as well as just fans of Bronze Age Monster Comics.

That's the only good thing about remakes - they stir up interest in the whole line of movies, even the originals.

Yeah, but there's something weird about that photo that makes your arms look freakishly long. Anybody else see it, or are my eyeball just going goofy?
BTW What did the frame job cost? I have one of those decals, along with the side decal (Creature's hand).

The guy was local, so I picked it up for $120. But shipping wasn't too much more. I still hated paying $120 for a frame for something I got for $25, but as framing goes it's still a steal, especially for the size. The construction is sturdy, with interlocking metal rails making the edges. Here's a link to the seller's eBay.

He'll cut them to any size, if we're being specific, the decal measures 25-5/8" x 52-15/16", and he nailed it, the frame fits like a glove.

Today I picked up the custom frame for the uncut side cabinet decal from a Creature pinball machine. I'm pretty stoked to finally be able to display it. At 26" x 53", this thing is a MURAL! And I love the pop of the colors!

I don't go hunting for monster items but I do frequent resale and thrifts. Today I found the Dracula and Wolfman talking "Head Crushers" from 1999. Perfect shape but they say only one gag line, unfortunately. Never knew of them before. Couldn't pass them up for a buck.
I bought a Forbidden Terrortory game.
(http://oi67.tinypic.com/11lqusw.jpg)
I ordered it from a UK eBay seller. Unbelievably, the seller shipped it just wrapped in a plastic bag! Needless to say it arrived with extensive damage. The box corners were badly banged up, the box bottom was caved in, the plastic holding piece was cracked, some of the figures were scuffed from being knocked loose from the holding piece because the box bottom was caved in, the Dracula piece had it's head knocked completely off. When I saw this mess I immediately contacted the seller about returning it for a refund and the turd blew me off. I then contacted eBay to open a dispute. This morning I discovered that my money was refunded with an apology from eBay. How could a seller be so stupid as to ship a collectible board game wrapped only in plastic?! And OVERSEAS no less?!! :o The dunderhead refused to correct his error by accepting the return for a refund and he got what was coming to him.
After I realized I would be keeping this copy of the game, for good or ill, I set about repairing the damage. I used plastic cement to reattach Dracula's head, and did what I could to make minor repairs elsewhere. I would much rather the seller had packed this properly and I had received it undamaged than to have received it the way I did with the refund. It doesn't show well in the photo but the box corners will always be damaged (cropping), and I can't really repair the plastic holding piece which is badly cracked. It's a testament to the toughness of this game box that everything wasn't beaten to smithereens when it finally got here. This game was sealed in original shrinkwrap, so it's heartbreaking seeing such a great collectible get all banged up due to some dumbass who can't pack properly. I will never again order a large collectible like a game from a seller I'm not familiar with, and certainly not from overseas.
That's too bad the way it was shipped. I had quite a few damaged things from EBay and after I asked them to ship in a sturdy box it still come damaged.
It's very frustrating when your an avid collector.
Well at least you got the game for free.

Yeah, but I sure wish it was a smooth transaction that was shipped properly. I bought it at a good price to start with, and I would pay twice that for one in undamaged condition... which is what this one was until the seller ended up ruining it. I still am in awe of his utter incompetence and stupidity. Jeez, I've shipped dozens of things to eBay buyers and never received bad feedback. People have to understand that you pack collectibles like they are going through a
war zone, because that's just about what it ends up being with mail carriers.
I think it's the same game I was considering buying. I didn't wind up buying it since I figured something like that would happen. At least you got your money back and got to keep the game. Though I agree that I'd rather have a mint one and pay the price. It's a real shame that a 10 year old, mint, sealed collectible would meet such a fate. I feel for you, buddy.
When I shipped something, I ship as though it was mine that I was going to receive. A lot of time these people don't care
HorroHunter: if you will pay the postage to my place and back, I can touch the figures up for you free of charge. I can probably completely repair the Dracula to the point of it never showing signs of being busted if its a sandable material. Just let me know, bro. Sorry to hear this happened to you. :'(

I appreciate the offer but I'll take care of the touchups myself. The Dracula was a clean break so it appears that my repair did the trick.
The figures caught the least of the damage. It's the box and plastic insert piece that took the brunt. As I stated, that box is exceptionally heavy and tough or the damage to everything would have been far worse.
At some point I hope to get a nice undamaged copy of this game because it really is a spectacular piece. The difficult part is trying to find one in person so as not to be at the mercy of incompetent sellers like this guy was. Maybe I'll find one at a monster convention at some point. This one will do until then. There aren't many Hammer collectibles around as we well know, and this board game is exceptional. I highly recommend it to any Hammer fan if you manage to get one from a competent seller who knows how to ship items properly.

Can you explain how this worked? I've been both a buyer and seller on ebay and I don't want to get burned. If an item of mine sells for an unexpected amount (like $300), I double-box it and cover the extra postage, and I buy insurance on my own dime.
But in this case, horror hunter, you got a refund, right? What happened? the seller did not want the item back? My understanding is that the seller would have to pay the return postage to get the smashed item back. Since you still have the item in its damaged condition, did you refuse the refund after all and keep it, or did you get a refund but the seller refused to take the item back?
Wouldn't the seller have a right to ask for it back, once you start the restoration?

I contacted the seller first and he refused to allow me to return the item for refund. eBay allows a few days to let the seller and buyer work out a solution. The seller was contacted by eBay and still refused the return so it was turned over to eBay to arrive at a solution. eBay understood that I was wronged because the seller didn't pack the item properly which led to the damage, so when the seller turned it over to eBay to make the final decision they relinquished their right for the return. In other words it's like allowing a judge to decide in a court of law. I made six photos of the damage and judging by our messages, and evidently what the seller told them, eBay came to the correct conclusion that the seller never even boxed the game up before mailing it overseas. So, the seller was at fault and refused the return, which was doubly stupid on the seller's part, and eBay issued the refund to make things right.
As an example of the other extreme, if a buyer tried to lie to defraud the seller and eBay then there would be no refund and I'm certain the buyer would be well on their way to being banned from eBay. eBay has to do a little detective work sometimes, but this one was pretty cut and dried.
I let little things slide, but I refuse to be screwed. I
go to court when I have to. What this seller did was so irresponsible that something had to be done. I mean, who ships a large collectible game overseas wrapped only in a
garbage bag?! This person is an idiot and got what he deserved. The problem is that I got marginally screwed anyway. I could have received the game in nice condition. But, no, I have to go through all this crap with repairs, and hassle with this dunderhead, and I'm still left with a damaged game box and damaged plastic insert that I can't repair. Believe me, the refund didn't make up for all of the crapola. I do commend eBay, however, for stepping up and issuing the refund.

Thanks, geez. It is a great game! :)
If I found it in an antique mall in this condition for a reasonable price I would be elated. I guess this whole thing has just left a bad taste in my mouth.
Actually, after my repairs to the figures, the only parts that have damage now are the box and plastic insert. The box and insert are so heavy and tough that both are still structurally sound and function alright. There are just some cosmetic issues with corners and such. All in all I'm still very glad to have it. I just have to get over the aggravation the seller caused by not shipping it properly.

Thanks a bunch for your detailed answer. It helps to know how the process works.
See, just a few months ago, I sold an item on ebay. The buyer messaged me and claimed the item was snapped in half. It was Media Mail, so no insurance. I read the ebay policies, and it basically said I was on the hook, and I'd have to pay return postage to get the item back and I'd have to issue a refund. I asked the buyer to send me photos of the damage, and photos of the cardboard mailer. Oddly enough, the buyer never came back with any photos and never pursued the matter. So by default, I kept the money and the buyer kept the (allegedly broken) item. Since there was no photographic evidence that it was broken, I have my doubts that there was a problem at all. Or, maybe there was a problem, but the original cover had some value, so the buyer decided to accept it all? I dunno.

It sounds like the buyer was trying to scam you into a refund or partial refund to avoid negative feedback and trouble with eBay. Some people cave to that stuff to avoid confrontation. If the truth is on your side and you have photographic evidence then confrontation is called for when you've been wronged. eBay catches a lot of grief from some people, but they've always treated me fairly. I'm sure that if someone deals long enough then something adverse is bound to come up eventually, but that's life. In the long run I believe things work out well for honest people if they cover their behinds with intelligent choices and photographic evidence.

But only three '50s movie aliens. The fly creature is not from the movie "The Fly" as some say. There's a '60s movie monster and an Outer Limits monster, but I just wanted the three I got.

The "fly" toy is still 95% total fantasy and 5% (if any) movie fly.

Yeah, the guy's just saying it was inspired by
The Fly. The Diener people freely exercised
artistic license with their monster designs. I'm sure they didn't expect adults to pick this stuff apart decades later. To them it was just kid's erasers.
I should get the monsters. I have a few of the dinos but no monsters. They are pretty cool to monster geeks.

I know most people think the Diener bat creature is supposed to be Man-Bat from DC Comics, but since the other Diener figures are based on movie monsters I think it's more likely that it was based on the Bat Demons from
Horror Of The Blood Monsters (1970). I couldn't find a good still of one but here's the poster by Neal Adams. Bat Demons are at the top.
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b98cpWTETe8/TqS_PG2fz4I/AAAAAAAAEGE/HV4CrKf98eU/s1600/horror.blood.monster.jpg)
Of course there are other monster movies with humanoid bat monsters, like
The Twilight People (1972) and maybe some Mexican Horror films. The Diener bat creature is probably an amalgam of any or all of those.
That fly looking monster on the poster could be the Diener bug, too?

Though it inspired my UMA name, I did not own this film (Herzog's 1979 Nosferatu the Vampyre) before I bought this 2 DVD set. And, I have not yet seen the film in English. I plan to wait until Halloweentime. Even the version I saw with captions (hence the 2 DVDs here) I have only seen once.

Got this in the mail, today. A boxed collection of Classic Monsters Magazine's "Ultimate Guide Books". Each book is signed and numbered (I got #4/100) and looks like a nice overview of the films, including profiles of the main cast and crew. They even mention a few collectibles. :) Also comes with a nice photo montage print for each movie, all packed in a plain black box. I wish they had waited till the Creature book came out to do the box set, though.

Believe me it's hit or miss. I go to one just about every day or multiples. I don't have that many Godzilla's but this score just raised the bar for my collection.

Interesting how the Frankenstein is a fairly serious take on the character, but the Dracula is very cartoonish (bottom right).

It's called "Zombie" on the bottom sticker. I thought it was a Mummy at first.
I thought it was an Aurora-style Dracula (I couldn't tell it was bald from the pix)
I thought it was a Mummy-type. Not a Zombie.

All mine are sold and LONG gone. Now the line isn't worth a F***. It was a fun chase at first, then the chase became old.
I cannot believe I wasted time and money on those figures
However. It eventually lead me in to buying the Movie Maniacs.
Every time I go to a toy event, I see all the past "hot toy" at bargain basement prices. I've become very jaded. I only buy figures I intend to die with. Smaller collection, better aesthetics.

Cool.
What is Halloween like in Australia? Do you go Trick-or-Treating?
Trick-or-treating has never really caught on Down Under. Our bargain stores would love more Aussies to have Halloween parties, and, in the last ten years or so, they stock all the usual accessories and costumes, and I'm sure some people do get into it, but not much.
That's sad. You Aussies are missing out on the parade of slutty nurses and super vixensoft that show up door to door.

Yes, we were all bummed out about the missing skulls. The skulls gave it an old school Aurora vibe.
Mine has a skull, and a tree and dead leaves. Granted, they were all added after the fact from other horror figures, but--hey! He's got em now,lol! 8) 8) ;)

Surprised to see how much they go for although in the ebay sold listings a set went for $14 recently so it's probably just a waiting game to get some at the right price.
I picked up the Zombies a couple of years ago from someone doing a carboot sale at work. Cost me $1 and I always see them scattered about my sons bedroom floor each week, a very good price to pay for putting a smile on my face (even when I end up standing on them!).

My latest get came from the dollar tree. I found this changing portrait for $1. Originally it had a cheesy border to suggest an old time picture frame, but by cutting and placing it in an old time Picture frame, I like the way it turned out.

There's certainly some less mainstream characters in the back row: Rawhead Rex, Maniac Cop... etc. I had fun rattling off all the names - much to my brother's annoyance - while we were standing in line to get an autograph from Elvira (Cassandra Peterson herself). She was allegedly making one of her last in-costume convention appearances. Thought about having her sign this print, but opted for an 8x10 shot of her leaning on a jack-o'-lantern instead.

Farley Flavors, I think you're right. He strongly resembles Crispin Glover's "Willard" from the 2003 Remake. I guess because I liked the 1971 version so much, I never bothered with the remake.

Nice! Just bought the book and plan on going to the LA County Museum to see this.
These arrived in mail a few days ago. The figures are actually underwhelming, but as a Kiss geek I've waited 35+ yrs for Dynasty and Unmasked era collectibles.

Hey, marsattacks666
No I didn't know about the variants until I saw the packages. I wish I would have ordered Gene variant too, the one w/blood on figure and ax guitar. Speaking of variants, would have been way cool to release Eric Carr figure considering he was the one who actually played drums on the Unmasked tour.

I agree. The only Eric Carr figure I own is from the MacFarlane Toys set.

You know, at 10" high for just the face, that is about life-sized.
You could pour plaster in these, paint the cast and hang it on the wall.
Mike could put a large ring in the Creature's mouth, and use it for a door knocker. (What would the neighbors think?)

This could be my next GET -
Except I need to find it in a store, because ordering it online has a substitution problem with many sellers. I want the bowl shown on the left, but very often, people receive the bad version of the bowl shown on the right.
This reminds me of some of you guys explaining that the mask they ordered online did not even look close to an advertised mask photo.

Yeah that doesn't look nearly as good as the official catalog photo for sure. Might be able to get it there with new paint but I don't know. When I see a mask online that I want, I search until I find a pic of the actual item in someones collection so I can compare it to the catalog pic. I have been burned a few times.
Got this for my birthday today. HT did a heck of a job on him

Yeah I agree the figure looks great. It works out cuz "Plague" one of my fav Hammer films, and it's one of the few DD I can afford!
You're right, i ordered mine a few weeks ago. There was a screw up with the address. I moved not long ago. So right after I ordered the figure I thought "Oh s*ht, ebay still has my old address." So I changed it right away. I emailed the seller too, gave him my new address. Like anyone I was busy with life and sort of not thinking about it when it occurred to me "that was two weeks ago and still no package." I checked ebay tracking and sure enough it went to my old address, twice. Fortunately it bounced back to the seller. He apologized and promptly sent it to correct address.

Well that figure sure had a journey but thankfully it got to it's rightful owner. It does put a bit of faith back into the postal system after hearing various things that have either been damaged or lost in transit but all's well that ends well.
Happy days!

Here is a shot I took today at The Seabright Brewery in Santa Cruz, CA.
The hostess there had a Jimi H t-shirt and shorts and her Universal Monster tatoos.
I looked up temporary tatoos for these, but did not find any matches, but of course I did not view tons of pages of temp tats.

Nice! I was out of the toy collecting hobby when NECA first put out their various Freddy and Jason figures, so it's nice to get another crack at them with the new "ultimate" versions. Just got Jason from Friday the 13th Part 3 in today. He looks good alongside his fellow slashers.
Nice gets, Farley! The best thing about AVTED Ash is you can change his heads and hand out for the parts that come with Valuestop Ash for the most combinations! And I think VS Ash is the only version that comes with the wood hand.
I still have to get Part 3 Jason. I'm really looking forward to him though, and looking forward to more stuff in the future. I'd LOVE a FvJ version of both of them.
Yeah, I saw ValueStop Ash at Toys "R" Us the other day. I didn't buy it... mainly because the hairline was missing some paint, but another reason is that I'm starting to run out of room to display all this stuff! :o
Hero Ash might be the only figure I pick up from Wave 1, at least until I finally get around to watching the show. Hopefully the first season will be on sale come Black Friday. I watched the pilot for free on demand and thought it was pretty awesome.
BTW, happy Halloween everybody!

Thanks Mord. I painted his tongue, didn't like it was black. Love to see the Addams family in the future too
Drum roll, please....
I'm super stoked to have finally scored a "Mr. Lagooni Hai" Creature tiki mug from this year's Tiki Oasis. It's #256 from an original edition of 350 (there is an additional batch of around 100 more, marked "AE" on the bottom for "After Event." It's a parody of the classic Mr. Bali Hai tiki mug from the Bali Hai in San Diego, pictured next to it. Even the printing on the bottom is a thoughtful nod to the original. Tiki's and the ol' Creature: two great tastes I couldn't refuse. Considering it was $85 at the show (plus the cost of a ticket), I feel like I got a pretty good deal on it that included free shipping and one of the nylon tote bags from the show.

Got this a few weeks ago but since I haven't posted in awhile I thought to do so now. This is the Distinctive Dummies 1/6th scale Paul Naschy Werewolf (Waldemar Daninsky from Werewolf Shadow (1971), AKA The Werewolf Vs. The Vampire Woman).

I prefer the 1/6th but the Mego-style was first so it's gets big points for that. I just hope that isn't the last of the Naschy figures, but since Martin doesn't seem to be personally fond of Naschy I fear that may be all we get.
I would love to see a Naschy Mego-style series with him as:
1- Alaric de Marnac from
Horror Rises From The Tomb (make a helluva 2-pack with Helga Line as Mabille de Lancre)
2- Dracula from
Count Dracula's Great Love3- Mr. Hyde from
Dr. Jekyll And The Werewolf4- Waldemar Daninsky Werewolf from
Night Of The WerewolfAny of these as 1/6th scale figures would be wonderful as well, and there are many more classic Naschy monster characters deserving of figuredom. But, as stated, I doubt any more
Naschyness will spring forth from DDville. :(

Next is Leia
I got this off eBay for $4 and free shipping. Has anyone else ever seen these? I did a search on here and got nothing. It seems when Universal released the monster movies on VHS and DVD in 2000 that this was a premium with the Creature tape. It's a Creature from the Black Lagoon mini CD-ROM game.
There's a little prologue explaining a missing task force in the Amazon, a short Blair Witch style clip from the helmet cams of the crew, complete with a costumed Creature. There's also dossiers with short clips from each of the three movies. There is a mission simulation game on the disk that is a gallery style shooter. Then there is a link to a website for online play, that is long defunct. (The domain is available on GoDaddy!)
The simulator is pretty neat, with 4 zones: Creature Swamp, Zombie Graveyard, Vampire Castle, and Wolfman Forest. The Creature and Wolfman figures have pretty decent clip art. However, I was expecting the generic Universal Dracula in the Castle, but actually laughed out loud when I saw the vampires and zombies. I drew better monsters on my high school notebooks. Haha.
Overall the game is a neat little thing as a freebie, but I can't see playing it for 10hrs straight. I took screen shots for anyone else curious as to what the game looks like.

Finally scored a Marvel Legends Monsters box set which arrived today.
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71B0MVBO8RL._SL800_.jpg)
Since I love the Marvel Monsters from the '70s I wanted one of these. It arrived in excellent NM condition from an eBay seller who packed it very well. I've been holding out for a good price on this because sellers usually want $100-$200 for one and that's more than I wanted to pay. This one was less than a DD Mego-style figure including shipping. The figures aren't bad, but the sealed piece displays very well so that's the way it stays for me. Extra articulation is fine, but I'm a big fan of cool packaging and once you crack it out it just isn't the same.

Great score indeed HH! Love that box set. I'm a big marvel horror guy too.
Thanks, fellas. I have the '70s Marvel monster mags and comics so I'm glad I could grab one of the figure sets.
It's funny, but I bought all of that Toy Biz stuff in the '90s but stopped before this Monsters set came out. Now that I've trimmed down my collection to mostly monster stuff I have a roomful of superhero figures that I'll sell at some point, but I drop 80 bucks on more Toy Biz. ::) That's the way collecting goes sometimes, but I'm happy I found one for less than a hun. ;D
Does anyone have this figure?
He's on EBay now

Your wife is very considerate. This is a work of art. Looks beautiful.
Finally got around to making a pair of those tipsy pumpkin totem planters for my mom. If anyone else wants to try these and is concerned with stability, I used ½" rebar for the support, with it passing slightly out through the bottom of the pot. I also took scrap lengths of pressure treated 2x4 and cut them to the diameter of the inside of the pots, with a ½" hole drilled through the centers for the rebar to pass through, and arranged them in a "+" shape for added stability, held securely with the dirt packed around the wood. Also for the upper pumpkins, I half filled them with chunks of Styrofoam before adding dirt, to cut down on weight so the whole thing wont be so top heavy.

I know she likes succulents like aloe and also bromeliads, so probably some of those. But then again it's hard to tell with her, so who knows. Haha.

Grabbed one of the new Kong figures from the upcoming Skull Island flick.

I was on the fence since available room is getting precious but when I saw it at Walmart I talked myself into it. This thing is massive in person, and fairly impressive to a Dai Kaiju geek. ::) ;)

Ho ho! That's a way cool poster!!
This neat Demogoblin figure came last night. He's complete with his hood and "hellfire" glider, but sadly these guys never came with pumpkin bombs. I think they came out right before the more detailed and articulated Marvel Legends series started. But still, the sculpt is awesome; the texture really looks like stitched together burlap. The hood is removable, and the way it sits on the head makes him all the more sinister, with one red eye leering out.

Yes! And more Blaisdell monsters and "The Man From Planet X" and "Robot Monster" and, well, I know that's a lot of licenses to get. ;D

More stuff at work. I did get that pen.

Did they make other characters?
A quick google netted a corresponding Freddy. I wasn't able to find anything else.

As I recall these were sold at Walgreens some time ago during the Halloween season and there was Freddy and Michael Myers; possibly a Leatherface too. I almost bought a display with about half the pens still in it on clearance but for some reason I passed.
Hmmm...maybe there was no Myers?

The base figure looks to be a customized GI Joe Yeti which was white or Bigfoot which was brown. I bought this customized Bigfoot years ago. A great figure.

I also have the two matching canisters and there is a smaller tin that I need to get to complete the set. There's one on ebay, but the guy wants more for it than what I paid for the trash can.

That's what I'm talking about!
Just got back from a trip to Shanghai, China and Tokyo, Japan. In Tokyo, they have a whole lot of cool toys in vending machines. Unlike ours, which top out at $1.00 for cheapo toys, the Japanese ones sell toys ranging from 100 yen- 500 yen (.85 to $4.35) and the toys are of much higher quality. These machines are everywhere- out on the streets, in small shopping malls near hotels, and even at the airport.
Here's one of my newest Japanese capsule toys gets. I don't know what they're really called, so I just call them "horror hands". I got four hands (about 1:6 scale) and a little gravestone, for about $1.70. The hands are well detailed- they have fingernails, and they are of a flexible material, so they can grip things like pencil tops, etc.

That paint job looks as though it represents being lit from above. The black areas are the shadows and the lighter areas represent the high spots being hit by light. At least, that's how it looks to me.
Picked up this Big Box VHS copy of Fulci's Zombie just like I used to see on the shelf at my local video rental store back in the day. Also finally got around to picking up the Fulci Zombie fridge magnet that thm tipped me off about some time ago. Better late than never. Great detail. Nice sculpt and paint.

Picked up this Big Box VHS copy of Fulci's Zombie just like I used to see on the shelf at my local video rental store back in the day. Also finally got around to picking up the Fulci Zombie fridge magnet that thm tipped me off about some time ago. Better late than never. Great detail. Nice sculpt and paint.

Wow! I totally was not aware of a ZOMBIE refrigerator magnet.
Great score with ZOMBIE Big Box, G.G.
Here is my Fulci Zombie magnet.

I hear they made those in 150 different colors, including clear, day glow, and glow in the dark. If you're going for a complete set, you have a lot of work ahead of you.

Just a little heads up for anyone else like me that's been holding off on buying a ReAction Creature figure:
Amazon currently has them listed as "Used, Like New" for $3.46 and free shipping with Prime.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00IOSZB54/ref=olp_f_usedLikeNew?ie=UTF8&f_usedLikeNew=true (https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00IOSZB54/ref=olp_f_usedLikeNew?ie=UTF8&f_usedLikeNew=true)
It notes in the details that it's new, but the packaging is damaged. Can't speak for all of them, but mine arrived today and the card and blister are minty, even the hanger is unpunched. It just seems that, with this batch, the glue holding the blister either didn't hold or was never applied, and there's a strip of packing tape neatly holding the blister to the card. I didn't even notice the tape right away.
Not sure how many they have, but at checkout it gives the option of "Qty: 10+." I hope this helps someone wanting a Creature to open and play with.

Got these 3 small tins (top photo) on ebay, yesterday.
The ones in the bottom photo I've had for a while. The two larger tin canisters each have all three monsters wrapped around the side, but the 1" ones don't have sides (big enough to put anything on), so they made three tins with one monster each. I've only seen the waste paper basket with the Creature on it. If a WM, or Mummy one exists, I haven't seen it. So, it looks like I have the whole set of these tins?
No mfg info or dates on any of the pieces. Some say the 1990s.

Yep, these were released in '91 or '92 and there are three trash cans. The set I bought (at the time) nest in each other for shipping. If I remember correctly, a buddy had a set that were all the same size.
Besides what you have pictured, there's a largeish canister with a handle (making it like a shall lidded pail). Several of these came with packages of black and orange jelly beans in them.

Thanks, Shannon! I'll bet I never see the WM and Mummy trash cans because I never search for those monsters! :laugh:
I saw what I thought was the large canister with a handle, but I figured somebody added it, later. Are you saying it looked like a "shallow lidded pail"?

He posted pictures of his Creatures in a sweet dune buggy. (My sparking Creature is still packed up from the move, so that Battle Star Galactica critter is keeping his seat warm).

Snagged this lot of 5 Jack in the Box (and Burger King) figures off eBay... Only $12 with shipping... couldn't resist!
The wind up Mummy with his limp is great! I wasn't expecting that! I'm also surprised what a good Karloff likeness the Mummy and Frank have. And the Wolfman still howls!
The Wolfman seems odd to me though. His paint application seems much more drab and dark than pictures I've seen. Is this a different version? Does the lighter one howl? The coloring looks too uniform to be a custom repaint.

Good score. I think the Wolf Man originally had a blue shirt.
Look to me like some kid darkened Larry all over with a permanent marker. That would account for not having a thicker coat of paint.

Yeah, looking at it closer, I think he - at the least - got a wash with a dark brown to darken him up. I wouldn't have expected someone to put so much work into such a little guy. But, it did come out excellent. (He still needs a dusting...)

I always thought that speaker placement was strange. Wolf Man's ass?! Not his back.
Finally decided to start picking up the Sideshow figures. I managed to snag these off of Amazon for a good price and with Prime!

Yeah, the Mummy watch is completely impractical. But I still love it. The packaging is dated 1995, and the only other one I can find any evidence of is Frankenstein.

Are these watches made by the same people who did the full figure Uni Monster flashlight keychains at that time?

Both were made in 1995 and were on very similar cards. But the Keychain Flashlights were made by "Basic Fun" and the watches were made by "Nelsonic".

By some miracle I just managed to snag this Sideshow Dracula on eBay for less than $100.
I made one bid. In the last 10 seconds. And beat the top bid by $1.

I remember that Dracula came at the end of the Sideshow figure run. There was a strong fear among collectors that he wouldn't appear at all.
How much is a typical price for a sealed example today?

Every buy it now option I've seen has been from $150 to $100. But you can get them from around $60 to $70 in an auction if you're lucky.

Nice score. I think the best Bela Dracula figure is the Sideshow Silver screen 12 inch version. Prices can get pretty high. However, about 1 1/2 years ago, I scored a new in box one for I think around $140.

This last weekend my vintage monster arcade game lust was satiated at the Replay Amusement Museum (http://www.replaymuseum.org/ (http://www.replaymuseum.org/)) in Tarpon Springs, just north of Tampa Bay in Florida. If you're anywhere nearby, I can't recommend this place enough - all vintage arcade games, pinball and the big cabinets, with everything on Free Play. And for example, on Saturday, they're open from 11am to 11pm, and $13 covers you FOR THE WHOLE DAY. You get a wrist band, and you're free to come and go throughout the day. I'm thrilled that such a treasure is right down the road.
Check their website for a list of what games they have if you're at all curious. (There were at least 4 antique shops on the same block, to help sway the wives and girlfriends. Heck, I'll check those next time, too!)
Of course, I spent some quality time with the Creature pinball, and Dracula was right next to it. The Attack from Mars was very fun too. But the decided winner for me was the Haunted House pinball, with it's awesome Beistle graphics, 3 tiered playfield, and 4 flipper butttons.

On the Attack from Mars, the 4 little jiggler martians vibrated violenty as they attacked. Loved it. And it's really neat how the topper on the Addams Family is a continuation of the translite artwork.

Amazon currently has these Ghostbusters "Mayhem" figures as $3.74 add-on items. (I paid $3.95 for mine the other day... >:( ) They come in the original sealed (damaged) packaging. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B7OX80Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B7OX80Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) But I'll pay $4 for a cool lil light up demon any day.

Man, I'd like to find one of those at a yard sale for $5.00.
The one before it (eBay Item No. 352106630544), went for over $10,000 and the buyer still had to pay $37.00 shipping.
Yes, Virginia there ARE some dedicated Batman fans out there.
Amazing! What's up with the high priced shipping?
Looks like there has been a find on these.
Both were sold by isoldit.az0170 in Glendale, Arizona.
I figure someone found a case (full?) of the unopened 1966 toys and gave them to an agent to list and sell on eBay for them.
It's gonna be interesting to see if any more are listed in the near future.
I'm with you - why such high shipping for items inside the country?

Did I do the math right on this? (I don't have any experience with commissions)
(0.33*500)+(0.28*1000)+(0.23*5288) = $1,661 in commission? Not a bad gig... I'm assuming the owner pays the eBay fees too.

Plus PayPal fees - and a $10,000 item probably catches the eye of the IRS and whatever state's tax collector.
After seeing what the 1st one brought, I would have listed the 2nd one myself with a reserve.
(These have to be a "find". No dirt, scratches or dinged corners in over 50 years. Makes me wonder how many total were found - and at what cost.)

I wanted it because all of the Lugosi dialog was cut from the film.
Also, I was forced to choose something and think Freddie was cool. No worries, I signed up for flickr and will be changing it over to my old Metropolis avatar.

There is only three in the line to include Batman, Joker and Harley Quinn.
DC Direct Gallery produced these around 2003. The Joker Marionette, in a numbered, limited-edition of 777! The Joker Marionette, based on the Golden Age version of the character, features hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain hands, feet and head, with meticulously detailed craftsmanship that shows in the Joker's smile.
The Joker stands 18" tall and is dressed in his famous tailored 3-piece suit, including pleated pants, a satin-lined coat, suspenders, buttons and cufflinks! Features a Bat-shaped hand control with eight removable strings, an adjustable black enamel metal stand and a small hang-tag booklet outlining instructions for use.
I picked him up for 149 shipped last year. The prices for these are all over the place depending on when you check ebay.

I was looking on eBay. Most sellers want $300 to $350 for them. There is a new listing at $75 - but no bids, yet.
Too bad DC Direct didn't make any Classic Universal Monsters, too.

The Mummy figure by Diamond Select
I picked up the Diamond Select Mummy off of Amazon back a few months ago. Since Photobucket has revolted on us I thought I would help out by uploading pics to the forum. Anyways I took some photos in grayscale on my phone. The figure itself is bulky and quite heavy. The art design on the package looks absolutely phenomenal. Yeah...I know.. I opened the figure...but hey ..you gotta let em out of the box.
Jean St. Jean is the sculpter for this figure and does the lions share of the sculpting for the Diamond Select line. Jean st Jean has done several amazing Statues in the Marvel Milestone DST line to include the Tomb of Dracula statue (a masterpiece). If you don't have this piece in your collection... run...don't walk to your computer and order him now.
I paid 17.00 USD for this piece but the prices fluctuate online.
This piece is easily a 5/5

Outstanding photography! I almost never take figures out of the packaging. I have this Mummy and the packing on mine is absolute mint condition. No creases, dents, perfect corners which is really rare.

I leave some items in the package. It depends on the rarity of the item. I collected Power of the Force Star Wars figures in the late 90's and left them in the package. Sadly those aren't worth much. Seems every time I leave something in the package it winds up being worthless. :(
Since I'm getting older I figure I may as well open this stuff and enjoy it. I put some out for display or in my curio/ display cases with my statues. Speaking of that I need to take some photos of my basement. That is the bulk of my collection down there. It consists mainly of Bowen and Sideshow PF's.
Hello crossbonez as for your sealed figures and them gaining in value I've found that the toys that get reduced and end up in the bargain bins are the most sought after toys. I don't know why that is other than the line being only issued once.
These aren't quite my latest gets...

Franken-mail day! New Funko Frankenberry Hikari figure. Also found this kinda cool Frankenstein bubble blower. Not sure what year he is, but I dig the sculpt and the blood on the neck!...
He is a Scareware Bubble Monster from FTC. Really cute, but makes an awful, loud vacuum cleaner sound in operation. Would probably look best in a window behind glass where people couldn't hear him.

I never was able to find a date for mine.
Very cool!!! I was about to try him out, but probably won't now...also I'd have to clean out all the sticky gross bubble liquid.

Just a quick rinse. You really should see him in action at least once.

If it was a really loud party with blasting music.
Works best on a high shelf where the bubbles have a long fall before they hit something and burst.
Cute little guy, isn't he?

A local comic shop had a big jumbled box of Kenner Aliens and Predator figures for $10 each. I even managed to find the mini comic that came with the Snake Alien, and the missile piece for the Dog/Cougar Alien. I like that the Flying Queen looks to be wearing big ol' KISS boots.
I tried to manipulate the pictures to get the grainy blues and greys atmosphere of the films.
I like the SPACE GHOST toy! :)
Got this '60s Creature pencil topper from an UMA member who bought a pair of them from an ebay auction. :) :)

Great score on the He-Man lot, really good prices and even though I never owned any from this line back on it's release, I did use to play with my neighbours kids collection with them.
I have a fondness for them as I grew up watching the cartoon and do have the first two series of the ReAction 3.75 figures that were recently released.
Thanks for sharing.
Ian
I bought of these figures in that pic for almost nothing. MOTU vintage toys are relatively cheap compared to Gi Joe, Transformers or Star Wars.
I imagine if they ever remake a Masters of the Universe film the vintage toys will skyrocket in value.

The Mummy figure by Diamond Select
I picked up the Diamond Select Mummy off of Amazon back a few months ago. Since Photobucket has revolted on us I thought I would help out by uploading pics to the forum. Anyways I took some photos in grayscale on my phone. The figure itself is bulky and quite heavy. The art design on the package looks absolutely phenomenal. Yeah...I know.. I opened the figure...but hey ..you gotta let em out of the box.
Jean St. Jean is the sculpter for this figure and does the lions share of the sculpting for the Diamond Select line. Jean st Jean has done several amazing Statues in the Marvel Milestone DST line to include the Tomb of Dracula statue (a masterpiece). If you don't have this piece in your collection... run...don't walk to your computer and order him now.
I paid 17.00 USD for this piece but the prices fluctuate online.
This piece is easily a 5/5

This is an amazing piece indeed, and the only other Diamond Select figure I have. Target had them online around Xmas last year and I convinced my wife to bundle it in with a bunch of other gifts we were buying so I could use a 30% coupon I had. Ended up costing me $11 or so. Gotta love a good Monster bargain. :)
Found this at Wal Mart today. They only had two left so I snagged them both. What a shock to find something of Universal Monsters in the stores and around Halloween time. Only $6.00.

Actually it was on an end display with other mugs mixed in. When I first heard about these I asked the same question. Our WalMarts in Maine didn't get them. I went to New Hampshire for these. I heard they will be in random deliverys to the stores.

This is a high quality costume, compared to the kids costumes I'm used to! The hands and feet are one sided, with straps to hold them on. The mask is extra thick, with an elastic fabric band, instead of a cheap rubber band. Also has pads around the eyes and mouth for comfort.

I bought mine in the store. It comes on a hanger with the cardboard on the front and the mask inside a plastic bag in the back attached to the cardboard and the hanger. This is the coolest kid's costume I've ever seen. We would have loved this when I was a kid. I hung mine in a closet with other monster items (mostly games). I wanted to keep the packaging intact so I bought a separate mask to display. Got a Frank mask, too. Both masks are really thick and high quality. They look great on the wall and they're small enough to fit them around other wall decorations like posters. Lovin' the Monsterville stuff.

I grabbed one of these too. That Cinepolis chain in Mexico releases premiums for almost every movie that we don't get here. For Hotel Transylvania they had drink bottles shaped like the four main monsters' heads. Things like that.
There was another sarcophagus premium for The Mummy, a metal pen holder that you could actually get through Regal Cinemas in the States with their loyalty points program. I have one of those on the way because I am a sucker for sarcophagus toys and premiums.
Finally was able to get one of these Creature trilogy VHS boxed sets! I held out for a new condition (this one sealed) that was reasonably priced ($15).

I figured that's what you were referring to. If you collect to keep, or if you collect to resell, taking the heat shrink off a package is not a big deal. It can easily be resealed with heat shrink wrapping and a hair dryer (sometimes you can use a $15.00 euro sealer ).
How would you know if a $300.00 sealed Aurora Mummy model actually had the real parts inside? Take it to your doctor for an x-ray ? Some are just filled with some old car model sprues. But nobody wants to open them. Original owner takes out model kit, replaces it, seals it up again and off it goes to ebay. Believe me it happens quite frequently.
Guess I am a "glass half empty" kind of person, always looking for the cons before looking at the pros . Serves me well so far.

But nobody wants to open them. Original owner takes out model kit, replaces it, seals it up again and off it goes to ebay. Believe me it happens quite frequently.
Guess I am a "glass half empty" kind of person, always looking for the cons before looking at the pros . Serves me well so far.
Absolutely! I wouldn't pay hundreds of dollars for an original Aurora without counting parts. Hell, I wouldn't buy original Auroras anyway. The 1999 reissues were all I needed. I never collect to resell. Though, sometimes I get offered ridiculous amounts of cash for something, and it's out the door.

I grabbed one of these too. That Cinepolis chain in Mexico releases premiums for almost every movie that we don't get here. For Hotel Transylvania they had drink bottles shaped like the four main monsters' heads. Things like that.
There was another sarcophagus premium for The Mummy, a metal pen holder that you could actually get through Regal Cinemas in the States with their loyalty points program. I have one of those on the way because I am a sucker for sarcophagus toys and premiums.
What a gyp! I'd go to the movies a lot more if I got cool souvies. And you're right - who
doesn't love a good sarcophagus??
Is the pen holder in this package? Let's see a pic when it comes in! (Please)

Finally caved and picked up the color version of the One:12 Frankenstein. The price was too good to resist. Hopefully the B&W version will come down in price eventually.
Here is the The Mummy pen holder sarcophagus premium from the Tom Cruise version. It's about 6 inches long and all metal, very heavy. Also includes a shot of it beside the Cinepolis premium hotdog holder sarcophagus. As well as a The Haunted Mansion coffin pen set.

CVS had some neat lifesize monster heads that light up bright red on the inside-- I really dug 'em. They are generic Frankenstein, Mummy and Dracula likeness' but when they light up they are boss.

I have a Creature fan/hand mask (you can punch out the eyes). No date, but 1995-2000 sounds good. My Creature fan looks like a mate to your Frank, but the backs are different. Mine doesn't have "Studio Wide Scare" and there are 10 times as many licensees listed.
Here's the BK box. This one has the WM on the other side and the other box has Frank/Drac.

While looking, I saw this window card, or poster and am hoping there are ones for the other monsters. There might not be, because there are other posters that only feature the WM. There are also posters that have multiple monsters on them.

Adam, the exact same Chaney Jr. Frankenstein art was used on the 2000 Matchbox Frankenstein die-cast car. It was a vehicle with a vinyl Frankie figure attached to the back. The likeness on both the figure and the box were Lon Jr. The bottom of the box has a 2000 Chaney Entertainment copyright. I'm not sure that helps, but it does establish the time period.

I like the tree from that set. You can use it for so many different displays. The limbs can be twisted a little to make it look like a different tree.
It reminds me of the trees they used on the Wolf Man set. They would just re-arrange them or spin them around and - there you were in a different part of the forest.

Is it too late to start a Kickstarter project to try to resurrect these figures? ;D

I'll contribute! :)
I thought you guys might appreciate these two pictures...
My mom has been going though old photographs and set these aside for me. These were taken at Universal Studios in Orlando. I was born in '86, so these are probably from the early '90s. Apparently I was a "dyed in the wool" monster kid - in my "Slime Time Ghostbusters" shirt. I wish the monsters still roamed the park, like maybe around the Monster Cafe or the Horror Make Up Show theater front - I'd get a new picture every time!

While Googling and trying to see when the Monsters stopped walking around the park, I found this:
http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201711/5810/ (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201711/5810/)
So who here wrote an article calling for Universal to invest in it's monsters? ;)

While looking, I saw this window card, or poster and am hoping there are ones for the other monsters. There might not be, because there are other posters that only feature the WM. There are also posters that have multiple monsters on them.

Here is the 1997 Burger King Frankenstein Window Cling:

I picked up this Son of Frankenstein figure from Mezco Toys. The Son of Frankenstein version of the monster has always been my favorite.
Just an awesome piece! Here he is with Frankie Jr.

Been wanting one of these glow ones, but the $60 price tag was holding me back (since I already had 3 others), till I saw them on Gemini Collectibles for $20.

Got this Burger King Creature paper mask to go with my Creature kids meal box and the BK Creature toy. All from 1997. Mask and box issued in the UK only.

Mike, you should scan this in hi-res - or photograph it - and print a face-sized copy sans straps.
You could display it with your Monsterville costume instead of the drab mask they made. I think it is a better match.
(You could use smaller images in your return address labels, etc.)

Ghost face from the Movie Maniac line

The Elvira Premium format. I've had this one since 2009. A great piece!

That GHOST FACE is pretty nice!
He's a decent figure. Very photogenic! ;D
The elvira premium format is fun. I was glad that they did a photorealistic one, also, though. The cartoony version wasn't everyone's bag.

The cartoony is much better than the coffin version. I sold that PF ...the piece was very lackluster in person.
Elvira premium = nice score.
My LATEST get is a gallon of Fake Blood. 'Says ages 14 and up on the jug. HEY - age 14 and up includes me! 'Always a kid with toys for life.
Before the jug of blood I took home a switchblade comb, which I have seen in comic books many moons ago.
Before the switchblade comb - lots of boxes of 100 bright light packs and two of the (blue and white) snowflake projectors and also the red and green laser projector. 'Just point it toward the ceiling from a tall corner of a room - so you don't fry your eyes in the laser light. Very cool and the units do not heat up.
Millennium Falcon blue tooth speaker with lights tonight - very cool & sounds great.

Wow!! So cool!!
Thanks man! Like a lot of us, I don't have much room left to add more monsters, but I couldn't pass on these. Two of my fav monsters.
I'm driving to SoCal tomorrow. I have some Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket. Gonna hit my fav stores there.
These need no introduction, a very welcome Christmas gift from my future wife...I really like these figures, they remind me of the plastic Dragon/mythical beast figures I collected as a kid.

You might be able to use these in conjunction with either the Dept. 56 or Hawthorne Village Universal Monsters figures & buildings. Personally, I think these would go great with the burning windmill!

I found this Creature Features lunchbox at Goodwill for $13. Not too much about these online that I could see, but it looks like there were two styles sold in the 1990s. The other was the same basic shape but green with tentacles instead of claws. I really dig that the fangs are the latches. Looks like there was a little speaker box in the compartment in the lid, and it would growl when opened? Maybe? I have a junk pocket screamer, I think I'll set that up in there and use it to bring my lunch to work. Zombie Grin

Back in January this store had a brazilian of them at $13 - packed endcap, and lining the top shelves of the action figure aisle. Maybe three weeks ago that sold down to just a full endcap. There was maybe a dozen left at $5 before I grabbed mine.

Also, I posted in the couple Kong threads I saw, but I was in Walmart last night and they've clearanced those 18" Kong figures all the way down to $5! I had to cave in and get one at that price.

That's a great deal. Also, with a professional paint job, it could be quite a nice figure.

I repainted mine to try to make it look a bit more like Rick Baker's 1976 King Kong; it's perfect scale for the Shogun Warrior Godzilla.

That looks really great! But he's missing the sweet firebird decal on his chest to compliment the disco fire graphics on Godzilla's tongue.

Bought this the other day on eBay. Now I have all the Screamin 1:4 Cenobites (except Dr. Channard who I used to own but lost along the way!). The 1:4 Screamin kit sculpts were rather hit and miss in my opinion (the Freddy and Micheal Myers looked terrible) but all of the Hellraiser kits are excellent. I always found the Female Cenobite's head to be a little square and odd looking on the box art but the actual sculpt is much better 'in the flesh'.

Nice. I have Chatterer that I bought wayback when these came out; he is painted and was put together at one point but currently is in half due to putting him back in the box while moving long ago. I think I still have his torture hook and a portion of the chain too but not all of the chain he came with.

She looks to be about bite-size for Kong. 'Also makes Kong look bigger.

Yeah, she is about O-scale height, which would be about the size I would want if I did a Shogun Warrior Kong/Godzilla train layout. Actually, this Kong is kind of a hodge-podge: his look is influenced by the Rick Baker Kong, the woman is modeled after Fay Wray (or Marilyn Monroe, take your pick), but the scale was definitely intended to be Toho Kong!
Yes, you chose a good scale for Kong's girl.
I'd say the display (below) needs a smaller girl to make Kong look a bit larger

Do you book appearances, like at kids' parties or hospitals and anti-drug things? Just wondering because you clearly drop a lot of coin on your props and maybe it provides income for you.

I don't charge anything for an appearance, and some appearances are a surprise.
A neighbor told me his son is a big Batman fan and so I told him to tell his son Batman will
stop by that evening after sunset.
A neighbor told me his son is going to be Batman for Halloween, and so I visited them that evening, after the kid was done going out - as Batsuits are much more intense in the dark evenings. I have Bat-fan friends that visit hospitals & walk in parades for good causes.
The problem is that the suit is VERY HOT and so it need to be cold and dark outside for me to be able to be suited up for close to an hour. Blue ice packs in hidden pockets INSIDE the suit help cooling for bit. Thus if I went inside a hospital I could probably only handle a 15 or 20 minute apperance before dripping sweat from my face down the front of my suit. Now you know why they suit-up for movie scenes and then immediately remove the entire suit.
I don't know what category this technically falls in but I thought those who like Haunted Mansion stuff or 3.75" scale stuff might like it. I picked up an ornament of the Hatbox Ghost at Disneyland. It's pretty much exactly 3.75" scale. I planned to remove the hanging ornament part and put it in my kids Universal Monster haunted house for Halloween even though it's not articulated (with the exception of his disembodied head he doesn't move anyway right?) They also had a Madame Leota ornament in the sameish scale that had a light up bulb inside. Anyway, these weren't cheap ($20ish) and are only available in the park. Also, the eyes glow in the dark.

The reason I bought the one I did was the fact that it was small and the same material was used on both sides.
Some eBay sellers make their pillows with a plain, single color back.

This 4" PVC Frankenstein figure was Sold by Comansi of Barcelona, Spain and manufactured in Milan, Italy - 1992.

The enclosed literature shows that they also made other monsters, including Freddy Krueger - and tossed in at least one Pirate, as well.
In the 1990's, Applause made a number of licensed Universal Studios monster items. These undated 7" Wicked Writers monster ink pens were manufactured in Taiwan under their Ghoul Gallery product line and do not appear to be licensed.

They are made of vinyl and are very like the puffy stickers/pin-backs that were made in the 1970's. They have some little padding between the two layers of vinyl - but are basically flat. The ink cartridge runs from the top of the head to the bottom of one foot. That foot's leg does not bend. The other leg swings free and all joints are articulated with brass grommets.
The selection I bought had 3 Frankenstein, 1 Skeleton and 5 Mummy. The flat pens don't even half fill the 5" diameter plastic tub. I would be surprised if they were the only 3 monsters made. Anyone ever see another pen other than these?
Don't know why I didn't photograph the backs. They are printed like backs and do not repeat the front image. One foot is labeled Applause.

Saw this on Ebay and HAD to grab it. Arrived yesterday and was somewhat pissed that they sent it in a padded mailer bag. Turns out it was high impact plastic and had a very low chance of being damaged. Looks even better in person. About 18" long.

I was at Disney World yesterday and saw those two at Memento Mori, and they also had the Hatchet Bride to go add to the ensemble.
But what really grabbed me was the Haunted Mansion picture disc record (image from eBay), the Haunted Mansion CD, and a book about Imagineering the Mansion that looked awesome with lots of original concepts. (I restrained myself from buying anything, but while looking for an image to post, found the book on Amazon new for $12.)

I had bought a single, loose Blue direct from China, but it was filled with bubble and looked frothy inside with very uneven color. I guess it was a factory reject. This one will be a huge improvement.
This was my first chance to get a single loose Green. I knew someone would break up a set eventually.
Collecting just one monster can be challenging, sometimes.

I usually don't buy unlicensed stuff, but I thought this was pretty cool. It's a postcard sized 3D lenticular photo of the Aurora model kit on a little set. Similar to a Frankenstein one that was made in the '60s. It has good depth and the Creature stands forward of the surface. Somebody (maybe the same guy?) made a similar (or identical?) one of these that was like 2 ft. tall. Last time I saw one on eBay (a long time ago) it was very expensive! This was only $10. The guy has several more, if you want one.

I have had astonishing luck in the past week.
First, I found an Etsy shop dedicated to old media who had a plethora of Classic Collection VHS tapes for great prices. And they took 20% off, so I saved about $15 and basically got Invisible Agent for free (I've noticed that one in particular is fairly pricey for some reason.)
(https://i.imgur.com/CIjhRdK.jpg)
After that, I was at a second-hand store that had a very specific, no longer in production(AKA currently overpriced by people on eBay) Lego set that I've wanted for about a year now. It was half the cost of the cheapest set on Ebay. I customize Legos to make Scooby-Doo characters and I'm always trying to find settings for my monsters. So, I finally got my swamp shack and customized it a little for my witch and zombie.
(https://i.imgur.com/dOMy24I.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/mehXPsX.jpg)
The very next day I went to a yard sale literally because the people had clearly put a lot of effort into their signs and it gained my interest. I never go to yard sales. It was very spur of the moment. I found, just in the middle of a bunch of junk, a Disney Parks exclusive Haunted Mansion coaster that I wanted but never bought. And, you guessed it, is no longer in production, so it's terribly overpriced on Ebay. I got it for $1.
(https://i.imgur.com/QZpaJFx.jpg)
And, finally, today, my wife and I found ourselves at an antique mall where I found this vinyl Metaluna Mutant model kit. I had no idea what it was, but I loved it. I did some research and discovered that it was a Tsukuda model kit from 1984. I'm not overly familiar with model kits, but just from some minimal research I could tell that this thing was expensive. But this guy clearly didn't know what he had because it was labeled "Mars Attack Alien" and he only wanted $20 for it.
(https://i.imgur.com/NWY5ccX.jpg)
And the same guy selling the Mutant model had 1976 King Kong promotional glasses and I had to have the one with Kong fighting a giant snake.

Got this a couple days ago. About 8.5 inches tall. Heavy PVC figure . Very cool but not well balanced. Will either have to have him against a structure or make a base for him. $16 delivered. I'm happy with it. YAY! Another diorama down he road.

I may be wrong since I don't have any,but that looks like a loose SideShow Frank. If I were the one buying it I wouldn't go over 40-50 for what it is.

He is a 12" Hasbro/Kenner Frankenstein Doll. They were sold in Target Stores about 1998. Frank was originally boxed. The oversized hands are a tip-off. They never were all that popular. Most collectors thought they compared badly to the Sideshow product. (I always liked him.)
Kenner also produced Universal Monsters in flimsy. clear plastic tubes around the same time. You might remember they also made Creature and a Son of Dracula dolls.
Finally got an orange Marx Creature to go with the blue one!

Those sold for $20 back then, and are not worth much more out of the box now. If you like it and can get it for $20 it's worth it.

It's a little mini CD ROM that has some short lo-res clips from all three movies, plus a Predator-like "found footage" featurette, that is a pre-cursor to the game; showing the Creature picking off army guys (in a setting that looks WAAAY too dry for the Creature to be hanging out in). And a link to a primitive web game where line drawing Creatures (and the Wolf Man, if I recall) pop up from the weeds to be shot at. At least it was an interesting curiosity piece.
Here's what the CD-ROM looks like:

Fashionably late to the party, but I went back and dug up this old post of mine for the Creature CD game. Hope this helps anyone who's curious.
Quote from: SpeedierThantheGrave on December 28, 2016, 12:17:39 AM
I got this off eBay for $4 and free shipping. Has anyone else ever seen these? I did a search on here and got nothing. It seems when Universal released the monster movies on VHS and DVD in 2000 that this was a premium with the Creature tape. It's a Creature from the Black Lagoon mini CD-ROM game.
There's a little prologue explaining a missing task force in the Amazon, a short Blair Witch style clip from the helmet cams of the crew, complete with a costumed Creature. There's also dossiers with short clips from each of the three movies. There is a mission simulation game on the disk that is a gallery style shooter. Then there is a link to a website for online play, that is long defunct. (The domain is available on GoDaddy!)
The simulator is pretty neat, with 4 zones: Creature Swamp, Zombie Graveyard, Vampire Castle, and Wolfman Forest. The Creature and Wolfman figures have pretty decent clip art. However, I was expecting the generic Universal Dracula in the Castle, but actually laughed out loud when I saw the vampires and zombies. I drew better monsters on my high school notebooks. Haha.
Overall the game is a neat little thing as a freebie, but I can't see playing it for 10hrs straight. I took screen shots for anyone else curious as to what the game looks like.

Congrats, Geezer, nice haul! That DST Bride was really pricey for awhile. May I be nosey enough to ask how much it was?
Target has some nice NECA products. I just picked up a Jason V. (Part III)

Hey thanks Mord! Yeah I really enjoy these. Right, the Bride was going up. I'm kept waiting but rarely drops significantly. I found one for $80. I figured it's going to be tough to find one under $100 these days. Sometimes you can't even find one. I paid $65 for the Creature and thought that was good deal.
Received these four Monster Scenes Kits by Dencomm today:

An eBay seller is blowing them out cheap- $49 with free priority shipping. They arrived packed well and still sealed with undamaged boxes. Now's a good time to grab them if you waited like I did. The seller has a few left but they're going pretty fast.

Thanks, fellas.
The eBay seller, M&J Variety, has sold 50 sets at this blowout price. At last check they were down to 7 left. Weird how prices go on cool items like this. After the quantity blowout at less than original cost the prices start to climb for OOP items and in a few years they get expensive, sometimes very pricey.
I bought the Moebius Monster Scenes reissues when they first came out because they were, and are, really important to me, especially the ones I had as a kid that got trashed through the years. I wanted the Dencomm ones but something always popped up to get my money and keep bumping them back. Stoked to have them now, but with the lack of display space I'll probably keep mine sealed. Still great to have them though. :)
I rarely buy action figures so I don't know if this was a deal or not. Anyway I have this coming to me for $38 delivered.

In another State. But soon!!! I will have my collection.
Found a Universal Monster pint glass at Wal-Mart for $5. They had a whole display of pint glasses, mugs, and those plastic drink cups. My brother got one of the plastic cups for IT. It comes with those freezable 'ice' blocks shaped like Georgie's Boat. they had a Jason mug, a Freddy Mug, a IT 1990 mug, and a Chucky mug. The pints were Jason, Freddy, IT 1990, Universal Monsters, and Jaws (the Freddy one was VERY cool, but I wanted my monsters).
Ok, just added two more figures. BTW: the new monster room is fully operational and i will post pics very soon.

Yessir. Says 'The Original Horror Show' across the top. No likenesses on it. The Mummy is painfully generic looking. But everyone else looks decent enough for 5 bucks. It'll go with my mug from last year.

Where in Wal-Mart did you find these? I've been to a few near me, and I haven't been able to find them. I've tried to call some other stores in the area, but that hasn't been very productive. Only reason I ask is that I might have a better chance of finding them in stores if I know the section of the store to look. Thanks!
I'm new to the boards, btw!

And now (or very soon) they'll come in several different "flavors"; the original releases, crimson and b/w along with glow-in-the-dark, Earth A.D., Horror Business, Bullet and Halloween variants. The Earth A.D. also as a variant card that recreates a cover printing error (ghoul hair) from the original run of the Earth A.D. lp.

Received this little weirdy in the mail today from an evilBay seller, a Frankenstein Monster head with removable brain.
(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/gjoAAOSwqF5bjUy9/s-l1600.jpg)
The blurry pic disguises the multitude of tiny horizontal lines covering the surface. It's made of heavy rigid plastic, about 5 1/2" tall, and unmarked. I don't know much about 3D-printed pieces but I suspect this may be one. I saw another one listed by another seller that was only 3 1/2" tall (and somewhat pricey) and it was identified as 3D-printed in the listing. Does anyone know if this is based on pieces from a playset or game? It was only $6, automatically accepted on a "Make Offer", so I don't see how a seller could make anything on a 3D-printed piece for that price. Maybe they're cheaper than that to make? Anyway, it makes an unusual decorative piece and worth the $6+SH for me.

The Toynami Shogun Godzilla arrived today. Today is feeling a little like Christmas morning almost 40 years ago when I received the Mattel Godzilla shogun.

I went to the Scarefest convention in Lexington, KY last weekend and picked up a few things. First, I bought these two 11x17 Italian horror posters from artist Joel Robinson. He does a lot of blu-ray cover art for Scream Factory. I'd been eyeing his Suspiria artwork for a while. Synapse Films ended up using a slightly cropped version of it as the cover for the 2-Disc edition blu-ray.
(http://i64.tinypic.com/28vsnsk.jpg)
Joel's booth was unattended when I first went by, but he had all his artwork on display. I wasn't sure any of it was for sale since there appeared to be only one of each piece out. Everything was in plastic sleeves and there were no empty spots on the wall to indicate anything had been sold that weekend. I thought maybe he was just there to advertise his work and do some networking, since he had a bunch of business cards out.
I came back later and found him chatting with some guys at his table. I waited for him to finish and asked if I could buy the two prints. He said they were $15 each, which I agreed to. I think they were originally $10 on his web store before shipping, but both are currently unavailable. Maybe it cost extra because of the sheet protectors, which I really didn't need since I'd brought a large cardboard envelope with me. Oh, well.
The colors on these posters are nice and vibrant. It was the first time I'd bought something in-person from the artist, so that was cool. He was a nice guy, too. The only downside was the posters have some handling and edge wear. The Suspira one has some large creases in the middle that I didn't notice until I got home. Still, it's not like I could purchase these online at the moment.
Also scored the new 7" Tim Curry Pennywise from NECA. The only issue is it's hard to keep his balloons (all seven of them!) from drooping in different directions. The strings are made of wire, so you can always twist them together -- but I opted to just cinch them with a couple clear rubber bands I had in my junk drawer. I think he looks great.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/2a0jdjt.jpg)
He comes with three alternate heads and they all look awesome, but I think I'm sticking with the frowning head as my go to display option for now.

The set cost $30 plus cheap shipping. They look pretty sweet in person.
I checked my Target and they didn't have any...of course. So, I checked eBay and it was full of listings wanting 10 bucks each, or more, for the cards. Forget that BS. Then, I spotted one auction listing with the whole set for $30 minimum bid with cheap shipping. I'm okay with paying that for the set since the cards would have cost me over $26 anyway if I got exceptionally lucky and found them all (instead of none). Not about to undertake the fool's errand of trying to track down a set in the wild. Starting to accumulate some cool stuff. Maybe it won't be such a dry Hween after all.

Very cool! Something about the graphics reminds me of that "Monsters Old Maid" card game from the 60s.
Why, the colors and splotched backgrounds of course. Whoever designed these was clearly influenced by Monster Old Maid.

Also picked up an incomplete set of Funko Force monsters. Now I'll have to hunt for the Creature to complete the set.

I like them, too. They have a neat, old-fashioned look. You can always find them on eBay.
I really like the Funko Force figures. My idea of cool monster caricatures. Not like the big eyed baby versions today.

I see what you mean by "old fashioned"....they definitely remind me of the Russ Berrie statues from the 60s/70s....

Well the shelf/area was nearly wiped out. The resellers apparently favor this Frank mug, as there were only THREE left (nabbed 'em all) while there were
dozens of Bride, Jason, Freddy, etc. mugs. You should really dig this mug, it's heavy, seemingly well made, and it's got a really friggin cool ghostly green vibe when you see it in person. 8)

So they are made out of glass - cool.
I was thinking they might be cheap plastic. I like the translucent look.

Yes sir, nice heavy green glass. Reminds me a bit of sea glass.
I'll get your mug mummified (snicker) in bubble wrap & ready to travel....shipping day is Tuesday, so let me know if there is anything else you need before then! 8)

I do enjoy the recent 12" dangling skeletons, especially at just five bucks. (I've seen them for $3.) They've been adding new outfits/characters each year. They aren't the weightless blow mold guys from the dollar store, but more of a hard resin articulated with metal rods. Basically like marionettes.
This particular store offered standard skeleton, gentleman hillbilly, Sam Hain, and two I haven't often seen -- teal & red haired mermaids. 8)

Can't be done from here. It needs to be done in your photo editor before uploading it to your web space.
Strangely enough, when I save the pics and look at them in my editor (Irfanview), they are correctly oriented. And when I uploaded to my space without altering, they are likewise correct.

Yeah man, my wife was having the same trouble and she
works for Apple, ffs. ha When we look at them on the desktop, they are perfectly straight and level! The 'Tinypic' place seems to be reorienting them in the process for whatever reason. Weird, for sure.
Thanks just the same for trying, though....I saw where you'd edited and was wondering why they were still off kilter, heh.

That's possible! When you upload an image, look around to see if there is anything to uncheck that is screwing with your picks. "Automatically orient photo lengthwise", or some kinda crap like that.
I posted those 3 picks to ImageShack and edited the message.
Wait, where is the Frank glass from?
Today's mail brought some monster goodies:
a complete set of glow-in-the-dark MPC monsters.
(https://i.imgur.com/up3qHtg.jpg)
I had some of these as a kid but not a complete set, nor did I have the glow-in-the-dark variety. I had some that were black ... and maybe some that were orange? I can't remember. In any case, they are long since lost. So I was happy to get this complete set in excellent condition for around $25 (including shipping).
Today I also received a couple of Rubies vacuform monster masks (which I have augmented with ping pong ball eyes).
(https://i.imgur.com/tf7zb3R.jpg)
I have been collecting these lately, as I think they will make great Halloween decorations. They are not as garish as the dime-store masks from my childhood (which would be cool and nostalgic), but I like their look. I also have a Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Dracula. I think the only one I'm missing now is the Creature. I'm planning on getting some better eyes for them (these are just what I was able to find at Walmart), though I'm not sure if I prefer them with or without the eyes.

Great deal on the set of glow MPC Weirds. Most sellers want $10-$15 each for them. Congrats!
Yeah, the colors of the originals from the '60s were green, purple (2 shades), orange (2 shades), black, and red. The red ones only came with the Monster Checkers set so those are much more scarce. The green glow-in-the-dark ones came out in the '70s/'80s and some non-glow light green repops came out in the '90s. As far as I know the molds haven't been used since then.
Just in case I'm not the only one here with an interest in Transformers as well:
Walmart has worked an exclusive with Hasbro to re-release original Generation 1 (G1) Transformers! Hasbro has reissued these toys before, but this is the first time they come in reproduction original boxes AND all the box art! From the character art to the awesome cosmic space battles on the back! They're a thing of beauty! Here's a link to more pictures and the first wave of figures: http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/07/18/walmart-exclusive-g1-reissues-stock-photos-and-release-date-368083 (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/07/18/walmart-exclusive-g1-reissues-stock-photos-and-release-date-368083)
Fans have been looking forward to these since July, but I was caught totally unaware while prowling walmart. Truly glorious.
(https://i.imgur.com/DOUnLuF.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/GUDOPct.jpg)
I'm a fellow Transformers fan as well. I was able to nab Starscream and Hot Rod through the website about a month ago which is good because I still haven't seen them on the shelves. While I'd love to have the Devastator, it's just too pricey for me right now.
(https://i.imgur.com/NrpBZaH.jpg)
Oh yeah I totally agree, the price on Devastator is just sheer greed capitalizing on nostalgia. I saw somewhere that the Minibots are priced at around $5 each. Considering that the 6 Constructicons that make up Devastator are in the same scale, that's $30 in toys. Then figure allowing another $10-15 for the great box and packaging, and they're asking double what he is actually worth. That, and all these molds are older than I am - they've had 34 years to make their money off them. Besides, I picked up a complete KO set for $12 a couple years ago... Same molds, same stuff, same amount of plastic, yet more than 6x the markup. And yet the TF fans are going crazy over it.
$80 is getting into Masterpiece money, the polar opposite of G1 Devastator quality. Save that money and put it towards the Jinbao Oversized Devastator that will be complete in another month. ;)
I even had a little conflict getting Hot Rod and Starscream at their price, but I do remember having 'Rod and I never did have a Starscream when I was little.
Got some stuff in the mail today (except for the Frank head):
(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1956/45141367731_10c54ed4ae_b.jpg)
Got the Monster Crunch! game, Army Boots Frankie, and apothecary jar (for free shipping) from Target. The Mani-Yack Creature Enamel Pin rolled in from an eBay seller. I picked up the 3D printed Frank head w/brain from an eBay seller not long ago and decided to include it in the pic for the halibut. BTW, that Creature Pin is very nice, and has some weight to it.
My split the Monster crunch game with my brother a few weeks back. We'd been waiting for it. There's not much to it, but it's fun and quick.

Never seen these before.
I like the substitution of the Devil for the Ghost. The box is printed in both English and French, so I am guessing this set was sold in Canada. (Our south would not be as big a fan of having a glowing Satan on their lawns.)
I am also guessing these were made after 1994 - since that is when Walmart bought out some distressed Canadian Woolco stores from the Woolworth company.
I didn't buy these because the seller wants $99.00 for the set, and I would be interested in just the one figure.

No no, I

I
do own 'Teachers Pet' & 'Horror Pets' boxes, but mine are really beat up and missing their tops. (A trade buddy of mine trimmed the tops away and embedded them behind acrylic as part of a custom shelf display.)
As rough as they are, I still love them and I'm very proud to own them. They still look great for 60-year-old cardboard, and I love imagining them on various five & dime countertops, brimming with fresh Uglies. :D

Speaking of ugly things, did you know that several Uglies appeared as circus freaks in an early-70s Hitchcock comic book? You can clearly see Alvin in the rafters and Dorothy, who appears to be ogling Mr. Hitchcock himself.
(The other creatures are based on Ugly Sticker designs.)

Unfortunately, it looks like Playmates never made a "Wednesday" figure. Promos at the time claim that Wednesday was scheduled to be released but toy sales didn't do as well as they hoped. Also never produced was a "Cousin it" and "Thing" toy.
My Creature Bucket from Super 7 arrived today. Here it is with some other Monster/Halloween stuff:

Nice! My wife collects the Playmates line & the fast food/promo items, too! I enjoy the animated-style toys quite a bit as they tend to look a lot more like Addams' original New Yorker comic strip art as opposed to the 90s live action stuff. There's a small rubber Thing & a Cousin Itt (that looks more like a chicken McNugget), as well!

Today I received a couple Groovie Goolie figures from a company called Barclay that specializes in old-school metal railroad & village figures.
(https://i.imgur.com/c2XVidL.jpg)
These are modeled on some PVC figures that were released in the early 70's. I had several of them as a kid, but they are long since lost. These are slightly smaller than the original PVC figures, but they have the same poses and colors. They are meant to be "G scale," and stand about 3 inches tall. These are made of solid metal, and they are HEAVY! Excellent quality figures. I bought two for starters, and I am very happy with them. Now I'll have to go back for more!
I brought in ReAction Frankenstein to show their relative size.
(https://i.imgur.com/7kVqup9.jpg)
By the way, the original Frankenstein figure wore the much-despised green suit (in the cartoon, as well). Is this where the green-suited Frankenstein monster started? Or did it predate the Groovie Goolies?
Picked up these Halloween masks at Dollar General today.

You're very welcome. Something very bizarre just happened. I just checked my post wishing you a Happy Birthday and commenting on your cool stuff. The last part of my post said "especially the t-crap". I absolutely did not type t crap. I typed t shirt. I don't know what happened. I have edited it to reflect what I initally typed.

Diggin' that blow mold light-up haunted house, Hh. We have similar taste...check out mine behind my Creature Grave Walker/Lagoon Crawler in the post above. ;)
I found mine on Ebay, after seeing one on a Universal Monster Army post here about blowmolds. It looks great when lit up. I love ones like yours and mine.

I had to put my large blow molds in the basement because they took up too much room, but I kept my favorite ones out on display scattered throughout my living area. I still think my favorite blow mold is that little orange and black haunted house that we each have one of.

These were/are sooooooo much nicer than the Pops. Why they ever went the other route is beyond me.
Got these pinback buttons today via eBay:
(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/h3IAAOSwhnhbwmqw/s-l1600.jpg)
I bid on these for the Monster Bash buttons. The others are just fan-made.
The first Bash I went to was 2001 so I had never seen these 2000 buttons before. One is Bob Burns as Tracy The Gorilla (from the 1975 TV series The Ghost Busters) and the other is Bob as The Mad Mummy. Bob Burns is great, the #1 Monster Kid since Forry passed. I got him to sign my copy of It Came From Bob's Basement at the 2001 Monster Bash. Really good person and very nice.

Excellent pins, and very nice to read the kind words about Mr. Burns, as he is such a good person and very cool! #1 Monster Kid for sure!
He and the entire cast of the 1975 show The Ghost Busters are great! The one with the abominable snowman is my favorite episode.

Thanks, man. Yeah those pinbacks were destined to be mine. ;D I have fond memories of watching
The Ghost Busters on Saturday mornings with Forest Tucker, Larry Storch, and Bob as Tracy The Gorilla, performing their antics with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Tucker was probably pickled for most of those shoots, but it was big fun for all. :laugh:
Yeah, Bob is aces as far as I'm concerned. I bought the original Terry Beatty painting used for the cover of Scary Monsters #39 featuring Bob as The Mad Mummy strumming his guitar. Here's a pic made with my crappy old camera from many moons ago, but you get the idea.

I never knew they had an online store.
Got my Etsy order from Stephen Bell (Stexe) today:
(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1911/43722610420_4a584d848c_b.jpg)
Love these things! Fiend Without A Fridge has a magnet, and the Tingler-Tron has a switch on the bottom that makes it vibrate furiously and skitter along a smooth flat surface. These are made from urethane rubber which is pretty hard and is similar to soft plastic. Stephen sent me a bonus figure- an MPC Weird Monsters Vampire repro made from urethane. It's labelled as Vampire on the MPC packaging even though it's obviously based on Chaney's Phantom. This is much appreciated since I'm a nut for MPC Monsters. That little guy goes on the old MPC Monsters shelf with the rest of the gang. Cool gift, especially around Halloween.

Just received my Super 7 Paper People Frank and Wolfie. Very cool. Not sure if I am going to pop them or not. Already have a ton of wall space spoken for. Highly recommended.
Got my Super 7 masks today.

The base color of the Creature mask is more of a tannish gold than yellow. I was actually looking forward to the garish yellow base with blue highlights but it's still very cool. The masks look great as does the packaging. Happy purchase.
Great looking masks, I know they'll be loved!

I so NEED those picks.
We went and checked out Spooky Empire in Orlando yesterday. Fun time, and lots of neat stuff to be seen. At their own merch table they were selling back stock of shirts and misc, so I snagged this awesome 3/4 sleeve shirt (pictured with the MST3K Live shirt from last week, also an awesome time!) I also picked up the Spooky Empire exclusive Creature Tiki Mug, limited to only 100 pieces (pictured down below with the Disney mugs).
(https://i.imgur.com/IqDLzAF.jpg)
We took the "Make Your Own Shrunken Head Class" at Spooky last night, and it was totally worth it. The instructors couldn't have been nicer. My head is on the right and hers is on the left.

(https://i.imgur.com/WrHCHVs.jpg?1)
Perhaps the most entertaining (and saddest) thing at Spooky was the incensed crowd that borderline rioted when the Spooky Exclusive Elvia Funko Pops either sold out or were unavailable (depending on which story you read). When I say almost rioted, it's no exaggeration. We were walking across the street to dinner when no less than 10 (probably more, as there are multiple entrances to the property) police cruisers swarmed the venue, blocking off entrances with their cars. At this level of response, we at first assumed it was something direly serious, like a bomb threat. But nope, just people loosing their s___ because they couldn't get their toy. In the people's defense, some claimed they had waited in the neighborhood of 8 hours, some overnight, for this Pop. Finger pointing is passing blame between the Spooky people and Elvira's people, the whole thing is a mess.
And here's the toy that caused it all - same mold that already exists, but, Oooo! She has an orange dress with bats on it! ::) I really thought society was past people fighting over their toys.

Magic Mike, I messed up embedding the singing jack o'lantern video ( I even tried using other copy/pasting other videos from the Monsters of Rock thread as a template, but those seem to be broken in the thread as well) Can you fix it? Or can't we do video anymore?
I also got a captcha verification that Horror Hunter mentioned. The site knows I'm a robot... I got lucky this time, but I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this charade up...

I'm running Internet Explorer and You Tube videos that people post show up as a big blank space for me, no link or anything. Unless they explain what they're posting in text I don't even know what it's supposed to be to go find it on YT.
I downloaded Chrome and that comes with another set of problems. It won't let me visit most of the websites I frequent without constantly giving the "Not Secure" warning and making my McAfee block things off sometimes. I have those problems on sites like eerielatenight (the Monster Channel), The Vortexx, and even UMA. I said hell with that and went back to Internet Explorer.

Funny stuff, Speed. I tell ya, man, I'm a huge fan of Elvira and I have a lot of Elvira merch including over a hundred issues of the Claypool comic, a cardboard standee, action figures, mags, etc...BUT, I would riot to get away from that POPS figure! Just something about those things that are really off-putting to me. I know they're POPular these days, but this is another instance where I leave the herd and the freakin' POPS and run in the other direction. :laugh:

It doesn't matter what browser you're using, videos just won't embed here anymore. I have no idea why and, apparently, neither does anybody else. It's a bummer, but really, all you have to do is click the link to see them.

I dig the top photo. The T-shirt is modeled after the KISS ASYLUM album cover. Awesome! I cannot remember the name of the guy who is the proprietor of this convention. But I saw him on a KISS podcast and he is a huge KISS/Horror fanatic.

Thanks guys! Yeah that Godzilla bank one of my favorite pieces in the monster room. THM, not sure if you noticed, but in second picture you can see part of the Jet Jaguar bank. That piece is quite pricey now if you can find it. I know a lot of G-fans don't like JJ, but I think he's cool.
Some new monster room items for the season:

My new latest get is all 4 Halloween trophies (costume contest) from work which I retired from today.
I will post a photo of all 4 trophies, but right now a huge party is going on in Northern CA.
I've been Mr. Hyde, a Viking warrior, an undead warrior, '89 Batman, and other characters that I better not mention with my drinking buzz right now. You guys rock. You know it, but it's fun to type it.

Gary is an artist who sells these little sculptures on eBay. I wrote him to see if he would do a Naschy Werewolf and Chlorophyll Monster, and I bought them. Gary's style is Tiki and Basil Wolverton art (think PLOP! comic book covers). He also sent me a bonus shrunken head piece. Highly stylized stuff but I dig it for something unusual.

I think he captured the essence of the Chlorophyll Monster from
Mad Doctor Of Blood Island pretty well. Of course, the monster looked quite different in the sequel,
Beast Of Blood. This stylized stuff isn't for everybody, but I expect some folks might enjoy seeing them. UMA's been so dead lately the few of us that do regularly post pics should probably not be too picky about what we post. As it is things are a bit boring around here with the lack of participation among most members. There are a lot of lurkers and lookers, but not many of us providing much to
look at.

Yes, I try to post as often as I can.
Although I am not that into tiki stuff, there are some really cool pieces out there. The Chlorophyll Monster you have reminds me of a modern art horror piece.

Fantastic looking trophies you have, I did wonder what they looked like so thank you for posting them up. It would also be great to see some pictures of your costume as well and I love the fact that your work awarded such an amazing gift for the winners.
That was nice that they let you keep them as well and enjoy your retirement (more time for costume building!). ;D

Really cool mask. I've been impressed by TOTS product so far, first the Fulci Zombie and now this one. This is the same mask that Severin Films offered in the Dr. Lorca's Head Bundle so now I have the equivalent of that bundle since I had already purchased the Blood Oath Bundle with the other items. The only difference is that I had to spend an extra $25 to buy the mask separately. It's worth it, though, for Blood Island fans.

Yeah, for around $50 each TOTS is hard to beat. I've read comments from some that TOTS are "hit or miss" and the paint quality varies a lot, but the two I have look great. I only have 8 full masks anyway. They take up display room which I have little of so it takes something I'm really interested in to entice me to buy one.

I found it in the aisle with all the travel cups/mugs/etc. There was a section that has all themed items like the pint glasses, shot glasses, mugs and travel cups. Though the store near my work has these same items in with the party supplies. So basically they could be anywhere. Gotta love Walmart! /s :P
'Got a new project to make a custom shock monster display, inspired by this 5" tall head and monster hands of the same scale. It was part of a Halloween decoration that was on sale, the other parts being a black shroud & a large hook that went through the top of his head and eye. When I pulled the hook out of his head, he became a teenage shock monster (who can see eye-to-eye with regular shock monsters as his left eye is intact...

Those are Luminara effect candles, so he won't get torched. The candles have a small PC board inside
with a program to generate random magnetic wave movements to move the candle flame, so they all
move differently and after 5 hours, there is an automatic shut-off option. Brew cheers on a rainy day!

Stopped by Target after work in search of Transformers Siege figures. Struck out with those, but found a Mego Wolfman hanging out instead!
(https://i.imgur.com/1hnr7Y3.jpg?1) (https://i.imgur.com/CU322fO.jpg)
Those 2 Frank masks, the Mego Werewolf and The Thing
are awesome. I don't have much more room these days until I clean out more to sell or donate.
There is a 420 lifestyles store in my area of Northern CA that sells Mego figures and so I need to explore that for my first time.
But since it's my birthday today, I will be busy doing a lot of other things. My latest get is another cool photo for my collection. (When you hardly have any room left in your house, you can still take hundreds of photos to save, Moo-Haaa-haa-haaa.)
My latest get is a photo of another neighbor combining Christmas and horror.
After I took this photo and arrived home I noted there is a human foot under the present.
Now I need to return to that home for more detail.

My local Half Price Books had a signed Vincent Price book. They want $175 for it.
After a quick check on ebay, I found and bought this. While I would love to buy at a Brick and Mortar store to show support, a $100 off can't be ignored.
See, I would be very suspicious of a Vincent Price Autograph for that low.
Surely it's worth more than that.

Please be heedful when purchasing Celebrity autographs. In the past, I had some bad experiences when obtaining autographs. Even when the item I had purchased included a Certificate of Authenticity. I was fooled, and was not able to return the autographed item(s).
If it's a fake, it's a really good one. I've looked at about half a dozen of these and they were all dedicated the same way as if done at a book signing. Some were signed by both he and his wife, some with just his signature.

Member Anton Phibes (Richard) is good at deciphering signatures and a big Vincent Price fan. Maybe ask his opinion.

It's real. I wrote to him for the last four years of his life and have many things signed by him. This looks exactly like his hand, signature and all. Good find. Vincent Price signed things for FREE. YES--FREE in the pre-internet days. His autograph could be readily had for a mere $25-$35 for quite a while after he died. It's just now becoming a a high dollar siggy.
Thank you for that. I'll post a few pics when it arrives next week.
My brother sent me some cool stickers and Godzilla shirt for Christmas

No worries...I live to serve,lol. Seriously though, I have had many a person ask me about Vinney and Cushing signatures over the years. Also Anthony Perkins. I have never failed the test yet. glad to be of service.
My brother got me a Freddy Krueger figure from Funko's Savage Land line.
Maybe it's because I used to have a lot of He-Man figures in that scale as a child, but I'm really digging it, more so than I thought I would.

Did a little repaint on his face too
16"×27" metal sign my wife had made for me for Christmas (from Etsy).
(https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/48929017_343922679739173_5632351714620211200_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=97f35b5b9406c2ef1e494b129bf904e6&oe=5CCC7EDC)
Very unique. She did a beautiful job of capturing the likenesses. I'd say, the wife deserves praise and a kiss.
That metal sign would make a cool stained glass piece!

Their part 2 figure is awesome, as is their entire Ultimate line. I still need to pick up the part 5 dream sequence Jason, but other than that I have a complete set of Ultimate edition Jasons. I buy two of them, one for display and one to keep packaged. Their upcoming Ultimate Edition Remake Jason looks good as well.
I recently got this mini Great Garloo...

Geezer. I spy what appears to be a NECA Iron Maiden Killers, Eddie.
Good call Mars. Yep, that's a NECA Iron Maiden Killers. Great figure. One of my favorite album covers. Btw I scored tickets for the Maiden show in Philadelphia this summer. I'll be in South Jersey for a few days around that time so pretty psyched to catch that show while there.

"Happy Meal" toys. One came with each meal. Just Frank, Wolf Man & Mummy. 1992. They glow in the dark - badly.
They are discussed other places around the UMA - do a search.

I really like the Funko Force figures. My idea of cool monster caricatures. Not like the big eyed baby versions today.

Likewise! They have a cool nostalgic vibe. The big heads recall the Soakies & the Aurora Monster Rods.

I'm not sure. My dad said he bought it at Rob Zombie's Halloween shop in Burbank. The wallet has UM seal embroidered into it, so I think it's official release.
Maybe something wrong with my eyesight :-\
Didn't notice it before, but tonight I see that yes indeed, "Rock Rebel" printed in wallet.

You ought to see if you can find one of the checkbook covers that were issued in 2003. They came from one of those mail-away check printing companies.
Here is an example of one - and the 4 different checks they printed:

Yeah, it's one of four figures (aces high, powerslave, two mystery variant figures). I have the original set already, but I thought the boxes were cool so I bought a couple.
Just bought The Monster Times special #2. This is the rare grey version that was given away at the '74 Star Trek Convention.

FRANKENSTEIN - Figure - Heroclix No. 019 - Frankenstein's Monster - 2.25 in. (2 in. Figure on .25 in. Base) - Wizkids/Neca, 2017
Odd little guy. Game piece for some game that escapes me. Forgive the lousy focus. I took these while holding the box the figure stood on in one hand and my camera in the other. If the eyes look weird, it's because they are painted white with no iris color in the middle. Don't know if this was done on purpose or was an unintended omission.

The base is in two layers. One rotates, exposing symbols that I think act like a Little Orphan Annie Decoder.

The base is in two layers. One rotates, exposing symbols that I think act like a Little Orphan Annie Decoder.

Cool! Frankenstein decoder ring! (I hope the message isn't "Drink Ovaltine".)

I forgot to say: Watch the prices; they are all over the map. I got mine for $19.00 with shipping included. I've seen these listed for as much as $35.00 not including shipping. No idea why such a spread.
Got this Hard Rock Café Creature pin.

They're on eBay. Other monsters, too. They have color and b/w versions. Better be somewhat specific in your search. There's a million "Hard Rock Cafe Pins" out there.

FRANKENSTEIN - Candle - 4.5 in. - ZombifyStudios, Ireland - 2019
Saw this candle listed on Etsy. It was about $9.00 plus $9.00 shipping. They showed these 3 colors but stated that since they were made on demand, I could request other colors.
Here's what I received:

I think it is moderately cool.
Another little Etsy get is this fan-produced sculpture:

FRANKENSTEIN - In Coffin - Bas Relief Sculpture - 5 3/8 in x 2¾ in. x 1 3/8 in. - B
I've had it for some little while, so I don't remember what it cost. I do remember that it was surprisingly inexpensive - because it was a factor in my decision to buy.
I think I should paint the coffin brown, to make the figure stand out a little more.
This little guy was advertised as a "Cigarette Snuffer". Probably not that odd in Universal Studios, Japan. I think smoking is a lot more common in Asia. If it were sold at the Hollywood studio, there would probably be protests.
It is not dated (at least in English) but the seller stated he bought it in Japan in 2015.

I hope no one minds me taking up so much space with my posts. I thought I would try to provide some closeup looks at some of the less common items I buy. Auction photos tend to be small, few in number and even more out of focus than my efforts.
Saw these pewter biker rings on Etsy. Decided I would splurge and drop $50 on the Frankenstein.

It's a nice ring. It looks kinda rough in a huge blow-up. But even a baby's skin looks like mountains if it is enlarged enough.
Just picked up a couple of nifty monster items from eBay: a molded, metal King Kong poster and a couple of plastic Bride of Frankenstein "candy trays." When I was a kid, we had some of these plastic "candy trays" (with famous paintings like the Mona Lisa rather than monsters), but we always used them as coasters rather than candy dishes.

I bought an insane amount of Frankenstein and Bride stuff that year at World Market on clearance. It was almost free. Pillows, plates, platters (plastic & tin), mugs, paper napkins, coasters, bottled soda, bags and more.. I came home with it and my wife thought I'd lost my mind. I tried to explain. How could I not buy such amazing stuff at such an amazing price? I figure I'll throw a huge Frankenstein party or something some day...

I did the same thing a couple of yrs ago. I have most of that stuff on display in the monster room. The tin platter is especially cool. I have the pillow too but it's covered in dog and cat hair these days :-[
I actually bought this awhile ago but decided to open it

Oh how I wish there were such a thing as a little plastic "Rita". Ideally in 3.75" scale. Probably never going to happen but maybe one day... I'd reenact the scene in Pee Wee's big adventure where Francis is taking a bath is his swimming pool sized rich kid bathtub with all the toy boats. Except there would just be the Rita and the Creature. On second thought, maybe we'd invite Kay...

Trendmasters produce some of the best toys in the 90s.
Especially the Mars Attacks line. But the Godzilla stuff is KING!
I went a little (okay, A LOT) crazy over the last month. But I completed multiple mini collections within my larger collection. And the real reason I went a little mad is because I just happened across a few great deals that I couldn't pass up. The poster and the cup were just really cool and I'd never seen them before. But it's, uh, probably time to lay off of buying anything for a bit now.

Great score! Lots of classic greatness. Btw, the poster is from a full box of 1994 Universal Monster trading cards. Dealers would buy a box to sell packs individually. The poster was included so they could post on the wall to let customers know they were in stock. Beautiful artwork on the poster (and the cards). Congrats!
Great haul, CZ! I've never seen the poster for the UM Illus. set, before.

:o 25 yrs! Damn. I accumulated most of my collection over last 12 yrs or so. I remember seeing all that cool stuff in 90s and early 2000s but didn't have the space or cash. Once i became more accomplished in my career, bought a house, and married---the next step was start buying all the cool monster stuff I used to pass on when younger :laugh:

I've considered this a great deal. I've even got the Rita playset mapped out in my head down to the last detail. It's 3.75" scale (and a playset) so it can't be 100% screen accurate with all possible accessories. But it should have a Creature cage on the deck, a winch, a net, a porthole that can open and close, a lower galley area that has a bunk bed (porthole above the bed) and some other small nick nacks (one of which is a fossil Creature hand).
If someone made the Rita in 3.75" scale who would be the exclusive figure? I think it has to be Kay. I think you could fashion a Lucas out of a pirate figure of some sort. I think the Super 7 POTA Taylor could be repurposed into a David Reed or Mark Williams figure. I just don't see it ever happening. But I also didn't ever see a 3.75" Mole People or Mask of the Red Death figure happening so who knows.

Like all your choices except the Limited Edition figure (only available with the play set.) It would be a lot easier re-purpose another female figure.
Anyhow, I was thinking in terms of separately-sold sets of 2 figures each - with everyone BUT Lucas.

If you could get a Rita that cheap, you could cut a jagged hole in the side and sink it at the bottom of a fish tank with tiny fish and a model of the Creature.
Very cool.

Latest get: A photo of the Funko Halloween Freddy 'exclusive' for $29.95. I don't know if that's a decent price...
I did not take note of the issue date, but it's the version that looks like Dracula with a red cape, red bow tie and a red crown on his head, (thus not a Freddy Krueger).
The rare times I see Funko items I always think of this group full of expert collectors and fans.
Happy Independence Day 4 day weekend to all who enjoy it.
Back at ya! Don't be a stranger, buddy.

That's Freddy Funko. He's their mascot and they put his head on other characters and sell them as LE. One Creature Freddy had an edition of 1.
I assume this is the one. It's from their "POP" line. Came out last Halloween. The price you had is about right. Walmart has some for under $30.

Recently stumbled across this figure on eBay, called "Franken Steela." Some sellers call her Franken Stella, but the packaging says Steela.
(https://i.imgur.com/2Ku5dDB.jpg)
She comes with lots of cool accessories.

... including the table itself, which tilts.
The detail and paints apps are all very good. The articulation, on the other hand, is very limited: shoulders and head, that's it.

Turns out she is part of a line from the late 90's called "Resurrection of Monstress" which included a female vampire, werewolf, Phantom of the Paradise (remember that movie?), Creature from the Black Lagoon, and a witch.

I don't know about my mom, but my dad would proudly say, "that's my boy". It's quite amazing. I would love to see the others. I always thought "Frankenhooker" would make a great figure.
My Gamestop exclusive Ectotron Transformers/Ghostbusters crossover figure arrived Wednesday and I've been enjoying him. Yesterday I made a proton effect for him out of hot glue.
Besides being a fun concept and cool bot, the Ecto mode is essentially a perfect model. AND THEN the box is awesome with G1 styled art!
In case anyone else isn't aware of this guy, here's the stock images too.

This figure is awesome! I purchased mine a long time ago. Reminds me of Frankenhooker.
Just picked up a complete set of Placo monsters (at least, I think it's complete; they never released a Creature, did they?).
(https://i.imgur.com/mAoYfko.jpg)
These are used and have a few scrapes & marks, but they are still in good shape, and I got the lot of them for less than what some people are asking for a single one of them (NIB). I'm thinking I'll likely do some touch-ups or repaints eventually, anyway. I know these are cartoony and generic, but I like 'em!

I believe that the Creature and Bride were supposed to be released in the second series, which never happened.

That's the complete second release. The first release has MUCH simpler paint, but the Dracula is based on Lugosi. The Bride and Creature were never released, sadly.
Picked up this little critter. Chainsaw is amazing!

Yes. I had never seen it before; but it is a German import that I found at San Diego's Museum of Photography. Though it is small in size, it is about 650 pages long, has some great rare stills, and weighs a TON!

We hit Spirit today with the nephew so he could look at costumes, and I was looking for that Camp Crystal Lake sign (unsuccessfully).
My brother, however, ended up grabbing a sack of Trick r' Treat merchandise, including a mug, a magnet, and sams plastic lollipop. (They had actual lollipop versions too. Pretty cool.)
I don't remember seeing any merch for it last year, so boy did they go hard on it this time. String lights, a rubber mask, a costume replica of his candy sack, and apparently a deluxe burlap mask is on the way.

Oh, if only that were because they were going to finally release the much-rumored
Trick r' Treat II for Halloween 2019.

Well, there's a graphic novel from a few years ago, at least? ZERO UM stuff, which made me sad. Maybe Target will have that again this year.

The only other (authorized) beach towel that I know of, was made by B&D (whoever they were) in the 1970s. Here's a pic. Look familiar?

These DC Eaglemoss figurines of Zatanna and John Constantine arrived awhile ago. You'll notice I already have the Swamp Thing figure.

I had a bunch of the Swamp Thing figures from the 90s Those things ruled. The newer stuff is either essentially a statue, or doesn't do anything for me.

Yes, the Eaglemoss figurines are statues. I posted pictures of the Swamp Thing version last year, but here are the pics again. I like it, but as you can see, I also collect other Swampies, including the 90s figures.

I know. So many showa era characters they haven't done.
For a long time I have wanted the OOP Rock Rebel blue Mummy T-shirt. It looks very sharp, as-is. But, I couldn't help it, I had to embellish it with green and yellow fluorescent fabric paint; and I think that that kicked it up a notch!

War of the Gargantuas is probably my second favorite Kaiju film. King Kong vs Godzilla being the first.
I have these figures as well, still in the package and they are great figures. I also have the Frankenstein and Baragon that came with Frankenstein's severed hand
I also have the X Plus 30cm War of the Gargantuas set and the first 25cm Ric set. I passed on the set after that. The one where Gaira is jumping at Sanda. I thought the figures were very similar to the previous set.

The lady hasn't called us back to confirm if she'll take what we offered her, but got some choice material in a collection at my store this week. We'll see if it stays with us. Of course, awesome collections like this only come in when I can't spend money. Not pictured were a ratty copy of a novel called The Vampyre with an obvious Christopher Lee Dracula on the cover, an unused sheet of UM stamps, and a cool pack of Francis Ford Coppola Dracula Hologram stickers. there was also a MASSIVE stack of Fangoria magazines, a weird but cool oval shaped deck of Lugosi Dracula playing cards, a Creature snowglobe and a pair of electronic Creatures that I'm not sure if they work or not at the moment. the Horizon Creature kit is still in the original baggies, and I'm very sorry about the crappy photo of the awesome puzzles.
Oh! Also a set of the Dark Horse Universal Monsters comics. I'm hoping we get that because I still need the Mummy one with the Tony Harris art.

Those were prizes from the 2002 Virginia State Lottery. The grand prize was a home ent. center. 200+ second place prizes include the 8 DVD collection of the main UMs, a collection of 6 bobbleheads, a monster mug set and H&H monster t-shirts.
The bobbleheads included Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Wolfman, Dracula, The Mummy, and Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Scott - it's 2 of the several strange sculptures in Bombay Beach, CA. It used to be a place where movie stars would visit to waterski and party on the beach. But fights over water rights destroyed much of the town's economy.
'Looks like a GREAT location for a B-movie cult horror film to be made. Anyway, the town still has some residents which live right alongside empty destroyed homes and cars.

He's one of NECA' s 8" retro cloth figures. I don't know why they changed the packaging on him. The Trick r' Treat and Nightbreed releases are still on the standard clamshells.
I like the window-box packaging. I wish they would do a '78 Michael.
You might get a H2 version. I don't think they can get the rights to '78. Apparently it's very difficult, which is why people have been licensing sequels.

NECA stated they're keeping the clamshell style for the "vintage" horror movie retro cloth figures, while stuff from newer horror titles (like Halloween '18 and The Nun) come in window box packaging. I personally hate those clamshells because it's difficult to cut the edges or saw through those little rivets without cracking the plastic. I tried to be delicate and used an X-acto knife to open one last year and ended up stabbing myself in the palm when the plastic split apart. Not fun... still have some stiffness in my fingers from that. :(

Yay! I hope you enjoy it! It's been a favorite at my house since we got it.
This Halloween may not have started out too promising, but this 2019 season turned out to to be a great year for Universal Monster items!

Did you get enough Frankenstein cups? ;D
Are those panels from Walmart?

If you knew how many stores I had to go to before I found them, you wouldn't have to ask. And, yes, both the displays and the cups are from Walmart.

The cups and panels are incredibly cool. Great finds.
Aww. I missed the cups. I would have gotten one for sure if I'd seen it.

I would keep checking Walmart for the cups. Although I believe they were supposed to be Halloween items, in the store I ultimately found them at, they were in the regular party section; and not reduced to after-Halloween close-out prices!
Great stuff Brick. I'm glad you were able to get those panels. I saw those at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago. I asked the electronics guys what they did with those displays after Halloween. As we say in Italian, the guy was a real mamaluke. He told me they throw them away. I asked "You don't give them to employees?" Nope throw em away. I said "Well, what if I told you I'd like to take them?" Nope throw em away. I told him "that's bull$*^t." He said take it up with management. Can you believe that? So I told my wife I was gonna go back and just steal the panels, straight up. I should have.

Always talk to a manager-- now a Walmart manager is probably a $7.75/hour clerk, but they are (hopefully) better trained than the $7.55 clerks.

Walmart store managers make an average of $92,400 per year.
Walmart store department managers start at $13.00/hr. In January starting managers will begin at $15.
Starting wage for a regular associate is $11/hr
I don't work for Walmart or anything but I know some kids in my neighborhood that do and it doesn't seem too bad.

Great score, Brick.
About those Universal Monster display panels. My Wife went to three different Walmart stores, and on two separate occasions, when We asked for those display pieces. We were denied. Both Managers said that the panels were going to be returned and could not be given away, due to copywrite issues.
So.....
On the third attempt. We asked, again. The Electronics clerk called his Manager( via cellphone) and had to describe what I requested. The Manager then granted my request. Third times a charm. Awesomeness!
I know that in the past, when I asked about Walmart store displays, I have been told that they only give them to store employees or that they raffle them for charity. Never-the-less, I have acquired a pretty extensive collection of Universal Monster displays, dating back to the 1990's.
Got some items for my monster-centric board game collecting endeavor.
First one is called Halloween. You play as demon lords trying to scare the hell out of a little town that thinks the holiday is just fun and games, and have forgotten it's traditions of protection against evil spirits.

Barker's Row is not a monster game, but I can cite Freaks and say Carnies are at least horror-adjacent. You play as competing carnival barkers, trying to attract 'rubes from the midway by having the most appealing shows you can.

And I also got Ghostbusters: The Board Game II. It's got Vigo, Janos as the old lady, the Statue of Liberty, the slime blowers, mood slime. All the stuff

I haven't played anything yet, but I'm hopeful that some of these will be enjoyable.

Quite a beauty, Mike.
Those wall decorations looks amazing. I would Love to have all of them but they are huge and i ran out of wall already. And i can see pins as well as banners and cups. You people got a lot of awesome stuff and is sad we dont have any of this around here but i am glad this characters still sells a lot of products.
For me the last item on my collection is the Mask of the Red Death figure form Sideshow. It was really expensive but i wanted it for many years. I cant post images tough since ImageShack wants me to go premium.

HA! I thought the same thing.
That's exactly what it is. It's the same head sculpt MEGO used last year for their Target Fonzie figure. I just thought somebody changed his clothes and put him in the Star Trek package. If it's the real release, that's pathetic.
Looks like a custom. There is a dealer a Mego Meet who does customs like this one.
I have an original Fonzie... somewhere... with thumbs-up action. It's pretty cool.

Action Fleet is a great Star Wars toy line, but I think the only stuff that has any value is the stuff from the end of the line, like the TIE with 3 wings (TIE Defender?).

Great Gene from the KISS ALIVE!, MacFarlane series.
The Cylon is the Cylon Centurion from the Trendmasters line from the late 90s. That is the right gun. He also came with a knife and 2 missiles.
Thank you kindly you guys, for your comments!

I got a Haunted Mansion clock, that I found on Ebay to day. The clock works, the pendulum swings, and it is sculpted well.
I finally bit the bullet and bought a copy of Werewolf By Night 32. After picking up copies of Avengers 43 and 44 ( before the new film drives prices up too high), I'm now on the hunt for a Tomb of Dracula 10 and maybe Challengers of the Unknown 1&2. That's both the joy and frustration of collecting this stuff; there's always one more thing to acquire!

Mike, that is super awesome.
Rats! I should have known better! It's not a real Bally item. It's a fantasy piece (if you want to call it that). I should have known there was a reason I've never seen one of these in 20+ years. They didn't exist, till now. It would have been a lot more expensive if it had been real, too! I should have thought about it longer and asked some questions. I would have known it wasn't real, if they hadn't cut off the bottom of the auction image. The whole piece is a little soft and the copyright text at the bottom is a complete blur.
BEWARE!!

Giving my scores a little bit more screen time if you all don't mind. Anyhow, thanks Mike. The BOF is a bookmark with piece of film. My brother found it on amazon.

So, I guess Walmart is biting into Target's Neca section? I was in a store I don't normally visit, and in the entertainment department they had, at least, a 12ft section of Neca stuff, all the Godzilla and Alien and Terminator etc stuff that's been pretty exclusive to Target. Pretty cool if you have more Walmarts than Targets nearby.
Anyway, I picked up the Mego Mummy, $2 cheaper than Target. Yes, he's atrocious, but that's what makes him fun!

That's a beauty! Really nice addition.
I wondered why they were so pricey until I realized it is one of those crazy cross-over collectibles.
Car collectors want them, metal toy collectors want them, wind-up toy collectors want them and Halloween/monster/Universal collectors want them. Really drives up the demand.
Haven't found a nice one cheap enough to make me drop the hammer on it yet. Maybe one of these days...

Recently, my monster budget has been seriously curtailed, as I just bought a new THUNDERBIRD!!!

Oops, sorry; not that kind of Thunderbird. Rather a blue 2002 Ford Thunderbird. I always wanted a convertible roadster of this vintage. Eventually, however, I know that I will get back to my monster projects.

Just wanted to share this PSA with anyone who hast the Creature lollipops from World Market a few Halloweens ago:
I'm in the middle of unpacking some boxed stuff and redoing some of my shelves and discovered that the pops pretty much spontaneously liquified and oozed out of the wrappers and down and out the bottom of the box, leaving a puddle of green goo on the tile floor. Ironically (and luckily) enough, the only thing to get goo on it was a Slimer Funko Pop, easily wiped clean.
The box these were in was stored in the house, in the AC. I checked ones I have elsewhere and they are fine, though I will be quarantining them in baggies now.

A photo of a severed head that I've not seen in anyone's collection until now.
Perhaps custom made or else a modified version of an existing product.
If you know who makes this one, please let us know! Happy New Year to all monster lovers.

from left to right it features Mummy, Creature, Frank, Bride and Invisible Man.

I finally got a copy of the "Carl Dreadstone" Creature novel! They've always been either too low in quality (cond.), or too high in price. This one is in really nice, unread condition and may end up costing less than $10, once I sell the other 2 books (Bride and Mummy) that came with it! :)

People constantly accuse me of not reading my books. Even as a kid, I would make protective paper covers and read my books with great care. The spines never got creased and they all look like new - even though they may have been read several times. I never loaned them and never wrote anything in them - not even my name.
I know, I was a weird kid.
There are imported reprints of some of the novelizations, but I don't think they ever did CFTBL.

I have never seen this in this near-pristine shape. Just buy a cheap, beat-up copy, if you really need to read it. Great score.
Quote from: Mike Scott on February 14, 2020, 05:41:44 PM

Simple brown paper like people used to wrap packages in - remember when people used to tie packages up with string? White butcher paper is good, too.
Cut a piece a little larger than the outer cover of any book. Fold it at top and bottom just a tiny bit taller than the binding and stick one flap inside. Bend it around the book and tuck the other flap in so it fits snuggly.
If the book has a paper jacket, take it off and put it somewhere safe first. I used to cover all my school books, too. (Works well for library books you want to pass of as textbooks, since you can label them whatever you want.)

What strange packaging! Why didn't they put Superman and Batman together and Alien and Predator? Did they give Batman a baseball "bat" accessory? "Robin! Throw me the "Bat-Bat!""

Not a Monster toy. But there is a monster in the film.

Got a pile of monster board games! Got a few on sale and grabbed The Shining at Target because I was weak.
Raxxon - Got this one on sale. It's set in the same world as the Dead of Winter zombie games. You play as specialists working for a corporation (That may or may not have caused the problem) and you have to evacuate a city of healthy citizens while the zombie plague burns through the populace.
Zombie Terror - 2 player Survivors vs Zombies game. Players face off across multiple scenarios.
The Shining - Pretty excited about this one. Same design studio as Horrified. 3-5 players act as caretakers at the Overlook and have to survive the 4 months of the off season. One player can start the game as corrupted in a variant play mode, but the standard game determines if any of you lose your heads each round and attack the others. If ANYONE dies, you lose.

There's a board game based on The Shining?
It's VERY new. And pretty affordable! Your friendly local game store and Target are carrying it.

Mixlore is the name of the company distributing it, just so you guys know.

Another horror adjacent game. Gloomy Graves. The theme caught my eye and i picked it up with a few small games in case I ended up not being able to leave the house in coming days. You play as a gravedigger in a fantasy world where epic battles constantly rage and someone has to dispose of the magical creature corpses.
We got to play it last night and I really liked it. The cards are small, but it takes a bit of space on the table, especially the longer the game goes on for. Each player has a personal graveyard, and there's a central mass grave that grows a bit every turn. The goal is to collect points cards that are earned by having the required number of adjacent graves for the creature type that are all touching.
Here's the best example of play I could find with a quick google search.

Bought another game!
Mr. Jack Pocket. Mr. Jack is a 2 player Jack the Ripper game. One player is the killer, and the other, the police trying to track him down. Mr. Jack Pocket is a SUPER streamlined version of that experience. Also the generic investigator is replaced by Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson!
Just to give you an idea of how stripped down this is, here is the board from the normal game
(https://cf.geekdo-images.com/imagepage/img/RZ1Hp7vWjkhMyai4tQjZ_rTlppM=/fit-in/900x600/filters:no_upscale()/pic221049.jpg)
And here is an example of play for pocket.
(https://cf.geekdo-images.com/imagepage/img/pZhSo0z-INvQCyGVthBw6xgIe08=/fit-in/900x600/filters:no_upscale()/pic796874.jpg)
I really like this a lot. It plays in less than 15 minutes, and is cheap, so it's quite worthwhile. Especially when I only really have my brother to play games with at the moment.
More new stuff. I'm terrible at being thrifty.
First thing is that I FINALLY ordered my 30 film Universal Monster BluRay set! Very excited about this, as I have not seen MANY of the sequels. The Creature Sequels, the Rains remake of Phantom, Invisible Man sequels, Werewolf of London. SO much I've been missing. But this year I intend to try and build up my Universal Collection. This Island Earth, Phantom v1, and Mole People all need purchasing, and I need those Universal Horror collections. Lots to look forward to!
Secondly, I got more games. The first one is Friday the 13th, which is NOT affiliated with the films. It's a reskin of a game called Poison!, which frankly is the version I'd rather have, but this one has a theme about bad omens, including the number 13, a black cat, a broken mirror, and walking under a ladder. It's a well liked game, and I'm happy to have it. (There's also ANOTHER reskin called Baker's Dozen, which is about donuts, if that is something that interests you.)
The OTHER game I got is much more interesting. Escape the Hidden Castle
(https://cf.geekdo-images.com/imagepage/img/bJNFn2-N5NRCmzcHHTZgftzzabA=/fit-in/900x600/filters:no_upscale()/pic3989540.png)
This one has been around in some form all over the world since the 80s, and is likely considered a classic. It's been published under multiple names, including Hugo (The name of the ghost in most versions of the game), Midnight Party, Ghost Party, and possibly more if you can read other languages.
Now, all of those other versions have something my version doesn't have. Plastic playing pieces. The older versions of the game come with plastic guests, and a plastic ghost.
(https://cf.geekdo-images.com/imagepage/img/BIvLBht1rGb41jtNILnknS8VOas=/fit-in/900x600/filters:no_upscale()/pic3883728.jpg)
Which is fun. That was what I was looking at when I got this, because I thought it would grab my 5 year old nephew, who I bought this to play with. Instead, the newest version comes with cardboard standees with plastic stands (which, to be fair, are well made) and a cardboard 'Phantom' who is sort of a generic Phantom of the Opera silhouette which is made out of a kind of tent of cardboard.
(https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media/vc/a4218352-9e8e-4045-9a4f-58e508bb24ab._CR0,0,300,300_PT0_SX300__.jpg)
I thought this was a little disappointing. I may have to track down a nice copy of Midnight party down the line because I like the ghost in that one.
I am however, happy to report that my nephew enjoyed the game, and we all had quite a good time with it. It's sort of a race game, where you and the other players all have multiple guests at this castle, and little do you know it's haunted! As you and the other players move around the board (and you must move a guest every turn) The phantom is potentially moving up from the dungeon in the center of the table. And once he reaches the gallery, the chase begins!
You can duck 1 guest into one of the rooms lining the gallery, which is a safe space, or you can run for your life as the Phantom races around the room, snatching any guest he catches and throwing them in the dungeon, scoring that player points. Here's the kicker: There isn't enough rooms for everyone, and you can BOOT ANOTHER GUEST back into the gallery and take their space if you roll the exact number you need to enter their room. Some rooms are harder to enter than others, and reduce your score. As the phantom finishes complete laps of the gallery, his token advances on his track, and he eventually gets FASTER. Once the phantom hits the table, the end of the game is typically reached pretty quickly. Once once player has amassed 46 points, or the phantom's token reaches the end of his track the game is over, and the player with the lowest score wins. Their guests escape the castle, and rest of the guests are trapped there FOREVER.
It's light. It's not terribly expensive, and it's well made. I do recommend it with a decent group. The game supports up to 8, which I think would just be chaos, and I think I'd like to try it.

Cool! Lots of fun ahead!
After that, then you need the 5 volumes of "Universal Horrors" BDs (and "Murders in the Rue Morgue"). That'll set you back about 300 bucks! ;D
I think my first acquisition after the box is gonna be whoever has the nicest Chaney Phantom Blu Ray. Since that apparently isn't included in the set? And then This Island Earth because I like it.

Watching all three versions of the film in one weekend is so much fun. The "sound" version was interesting.
That's awesome Lazarus. I wish I could watch the UM sequels for the first time again---if that makes sense. I admit, I was an adult when I watched most UM classics for the first time.
I would stay up late and watch weekend chiller theater shows (living in Michigan and California), but my memories are from late 70s and early 80s. All I remember are those programs showing Hammer, Toho, and the AIP Vincent Price films (at least for the most part). I don't remember anything black and white.
A & C Meets Franeknstein was the first UM movie I saw as a kid. Then when I was in middle school, I remember renting the original Dracula and Frankenstein at local video rental joint. I was blown away. I was in high school when I found the Wolfman and House of Frankenstein as video rentals. I remember watching Bride too, but can't remember the circumstances. Maybe on tv. But that was it. Don't get mad at me you OG monster kids, but I was in my late twenties when I watched the other UM classics for the first time. I was still familiar with all the films from my books and magazines of course. I purchased all the dvds once Universal started producing them, and the rest is history. :)

My memory must be starting to fade, lol. I was thinking about my post and something didn't sound right about renting HoF in high school. Looks like the VHS came out in 97, so I must have been in college. Otherwise I stand by my post ;D
Picked up two of these Kongs. One to keep boxed and the other I added to my loose Kaiju figures. :)

I'm very much looking forward to it. I've seen most of the core films several times, but there hasn't really been much opportunity for me to watch the sequels. I've seen Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, Dracula's Daughter, and obviously Bride, but that's about it. I think the only monsters I haven't watched at all are Werewolf of London, the Mole People, and the Paula the Ape Woman movies. But a lot of that is gonna change real soon!

Very cool. My hunt has found one. Just waiting on a fair price.
Something I just bought. A movie Fangoria magazine called the most gory film ever came up for sale on Facebook Marketplace. I plan on giving it back to the man that directed it here in a few weeks. It is a 1 inch Pal tape sent to Germany for the release of the film. Leif is working on a 4K Directors cut and it will be released this year if this Pandemic ever ends and he can get back to work.

UPDATEI just talked to Leif Jonker and it seems this was stolen from him and he is thrilled to get it back.

It's been awhile. I hadn't posted on UMA for a few months, but I read about it here to go hunt it. I figured I'd mention it since I started posting again. Absolutely awesome value for 20 bucks!

Oh, OK! I thought you just now picked it up.

Robby is still available at Walmarts' in my town. I picked up two of them. Good score.
Yeah, Robby and Iron Giant are still around down here in Florida too.

Yeah. The Toy Scalpers' haven't raided the toy aisle for Robby or the newly released retro Ghost Buster figures.
Quote from: Mike Scott on May 05, 2020, 10:59:25 AM
Amazing!
Yeah, Walmart has the buying power to order so many that it actually overwhelmed the scalpers and left plenty available for a long time at original retail (which is a fantastic deal)!
WM catches a lot of flak but I applaud them for overwhelming the damned scalpers. ;D
I dunno if the Ghostbusters not flying off the shelf is because they have a lot, or if it's because the interest is low because we just came off the Diamond Select stuff, and the Mattel stuff before that. Both of which were pretty comprehensive.

A few trinkets that came in the mail today.
On the left, another enamel pin and a matching patch, from Rock Rebel. And from Future Monsters, yet another enamel pin and 3 stickers. For scale, the largest sticker is 3.5" x 4.5".

The Future Monsters items are all unlicensed, but I thought they were nice looking (and cheap), so I bought them anyway. The 2 "Keep the Lagoon Clean" items were inspired by this '70s iron-on and it's matching poster.

Got these 2 SDCC19 "Super 7" patches in the mail, today. I only wanted the Creature, but the guy was selling them together and I didn't want to wait till another one came up for sale. Check the "Classifieds" if you are interested in the WM patch.

Still trying to get some of the 2019 Bodaga only items I missed out on. Need the soda bottle and the pin and pennant.
Picked up Godzilla: Tokyo Clash for my brother yesterday as a late Father's Day gift. We took it for a spin last night to learn the rules and really enjoyed it. It's basically a free for all between 2-4 players that does a good job incorporating the ridiculousness of the classic movies. The game includes Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Megalon.
The 4 figures are bigger than you usually see in a board game and the sculpts are quite nice. They have a shade wash applied which s hit or miss but that's pretty easy to clean up if you know how. The art direction is lovely, also.

He was very excited about Megalon being included, as he's a monster that rarely sees merchandise.
This game would be very easy to do expansion material for, so hopefully we'll see some of that before it's all said and done.

Picked up Godzilla game at Target. Actually picked up It! figure a while ago, but forgot to post here. And there's better pic of the Swamp Thing figure I posted recently.

I hope you enjoy Tokyo Clash, Geezer! It's a lot of fun. I'm gonna try Mothra next time I play. She works a little differently than the others.
Pretty rad figure. It Terror from Beyond Space
Thanks guys! I agree, Mike---more figures!!

Came in this week. It's essentially a reskin on Betrayal at House on the Hill, but it's got 25 missions made just for a Scooby-Doo game, so I would assume there's no missions with a traitor or things like that.
But that's 25 hours of games for 35 bucks. Pretty good. And I feel like this game is gonna capture the feel of a Scooby doo Caper pretty well.

I love it! And you actually get to play as Scooby Doo. I recognized it as a Betrayal clone immediately, and I love those games
This week got WAY too expensive. Hoping this is good.

What is it, other then an EVIL DEAD box of something?
It's another board game. They're practically all I can post here that hasn't been posted by other people at least twice.
The companies involved have spotty track records, so I don't know if this will be any good. BUT, Jasco fulfilled pledges for the previous Evil Dead 2 kickstarter, which screwed a lot of people over, so I thought it would be nice to support a company that did something good.
I suppose everybody knows, but several of us got one of these from Super 7.

I ordered one. Thanks for this photo, Mike. Sellers are selling these Penn Plax'esque/Creature figure(s), for high prices.
The Friday the 13th: Horror at Camp Crystal Lake board game comes in at my store today. Pretty excited. They didn't really release much info about it until this week, so I'm cautiously optimistic. We liked their It: Evil Below game a lot, so I'm hoping this is good.

It's sort of ironic that you can get a working re-issue of the original Penn-Plax aerator for less than this facsimile is being re-sold for.

The Friday the 13th: Horror at Camp Crystal Lake board game comes in at my store today. Pretty excited. They didn't really release much info about it until this week, so I'm cautiously optimistic. We liked their It: Evil Below game a lot, so I'm hoping this is good.

Just picked this up today. "The Old Dark House" (1963) was a William Castle/ Hammer production. There are things I love about the remake, including the opening credits designed by Charles Addams, and that the film took place in Oakley Court, which a lot of people remember as Frankenfurter's Castle in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". The House in the poster, is a Charles Addams design.
(Excuse the cross post, but I really thought this was worth calling attention to. I've been away for a bit, so sorry if it's been mentioned already...)
So, Universal Studios Florida has recently opened up a Halloween Horror Nights / Monsters "Tribute Store" inside of the main park, between the Jimmy Fallon and Mummy rides. The store is set up like a haunted house, lots of cool merch, some reissues of past HHNs, going back to 1991.
BUT - the absolute COOLEST JAW DROPPING PART - THIS LAST WEEKEND THEY INSTALLED A WORKING FRANKENSTEIN MOLD-A-RAMA MACHINE!!! ONLY $6 A POP!

I think Target carries these? I've seen some older ones there before, like Slinky and Stretch Armstrong.
I do think it's worth mentioning that these are not done with cloth outfits. They are entirely cast plastic. However, they come in plastic versions of their packaging that you can take them out of and put them back in without damage, and some come with a TEENY TINY bagged accessory!

Why does Dracula look like a cross between Freddie Mercury and a contestant on Ru Paul's Drag Race?!?!
Picked up the Mummy hand from Lowe's. Makes for a cool display I think with the Mummy Head that Target had a couple of years ago.

It's the generic Dracula they did after they did the 2 Lugosi versions. I hate it, frankly. But the Orlok, Frankenstein's Monster, and Invisible Man are very cool!

Is there a left hand, or are they all rights?
Finally got one of these, yesterday. Pegasus Hobbies 13" Luna kit in silver plate finish.

My local Target must have done an inventory because a bunch of sold out figures just hit the shelves. I picked up the NECA Toony Terrors Michael Myers and the NECA Friday the 13th: A New Beginning Roy Burns mask. I'm really excited about the mask as people have been asking for $90 on eBay.
EDIT: Turns out Target has the masks listed online and they've popped up at another Target in my area, so the find is still exciting for me, just less so. Haha.

Got the new Mego Fly. Gosh he looks nice on that card. I do wish his human hand was flesh colored, but overall he's very much a winner.
Walmart was cleaned out of G v K figures. This Kong was the only guy left. The figure is not that impressive, but it's only $9 and I think the box is cool. Plus Kong and Godzilla are two of my fav monsters in general, so I'll keep my eyes open for the G-Man figure. But for the price, you're better off paying a few bucks more for the Bandai vinyl figures.

Just got the latest edition of Fury of Dracula, an old Games Workshop Classic.
(https://res.cloudinary.com/csicdn/image/upload/v1/Images/Products/Misc%20Art/WizKids%20Games/full/WZK73459.jpg)
It's an asymmetric game, with 1 player as Dracula and the other (up to 4) players as the group of 4 hunters. The game is a chase across Europe, with Dracula's movement being hidden from the rest of the group but kept track of via cards, as the hunters travel about trying to smoke him out and take out any nexts of vampires he tries to cultivate as he travels. The players take actions that allow them to ask questions about Dracula (Have you been here? Are you here now? Etc) and otherwise gather bits of information that allow them to narrow down his potential wearabouts. If they can sniff him out, the fight is on! Any hunters in the city must do battle with the count in an attempt to whittle him down so they can finally stake him. But will he escape? Will they be able to find him again if he does? It's all very suspenseful.
The only real issue is that it's a fairly complicated game and takes a few hours, but it's been around for 30 years, which is usually a pretty good sign. I hope to own an original edition some day, but for now, this will certainly do.

Really awesome.
One more for the monster game collection. I bought this one for my nephew, who just turned 6. This is what's called a 'legacy' game, which means the game changes over several plays in a sort of campaign mode.
It features a track that you fill after each game you play with a brain sticker, win or lose. There are also achievements you can complete which fill additional slots and get you closer to the next advancement. When you reach a numbered milestone space, you open the envelope in the box with the corresponding number, which may have new player powers for one of the characters, upgrades for the zombies (potentially, haven't seen this yet), new achievements, new rules, and so on.
Overall the game is quite simple. You lose if you need to place a zombie on the board and there are none left in the supply (8 zombies total). You win if you can get locks on each of the 4 gates surrounding the building you are holed up in. When there are no zombies in a gate space, and you and another player are in that space, you give the player a high five, and a lock token is placed.
A turn goes as follows:
1) Roll the zombie die. If a zombie head comes up, place a zombie in the space matching the color rolled. If a blank is the result, no zombie is placed this turn,
2) Move 1 space or stay where you are. After you choose to move or not, you may eliminate up to 2 zombies in your space and return them to the supply. If a space has 3 or more zombies in it, you MUST LEAVE THE SPACE, and cannot enter a space with 3 or more zombies. I'm sure there will be ways to stop this as we advance, but at the beginning of the game it makes an obstacle you can't do anything about. It's also very dangerous because you can't remove zombies from it to replenish the supply.
3. If applicable, place a lock token.
And that's it. It takes about 10 minutes for a game. If you have any younger children I very much recommend it. My nephew was very excited about the achievement stickers is very much looking forward to opening more of the envelopes (of which there are several.)
The game is about $20 and I think a pretty good value if you have kids. Especially this time of year.

Totally great! Had one of these when I was a kid! Would love to score one. They go for around $400 to $500 on eBay these days. Originally the monsters were embossed on the doors. Later they switched over to stickers (see pic below) and replaced the Hoot Owl spinner with a cheap cardboard spinner. Nice little write up on them here.

Beautiful Majestic Studios, Christopher Lee( Dracula)
I ended up with two of the Mondo monster posters during their 10am drop this morning. I really was hoping to snag an Invisible Man poster but that sold out while I was in the midst of purchasing it. I got these two regular versions which I think were better than their variants...

I wish I could play the Mondo poster game. But alas.

One more for the spooky game shelf. I'm very excited to finally get my hands on it.
This site has a nice box breakdown. The Hitchhiking Ghosts mini was a lot larger than I was expecting in person.

My Night of the Living Dead game is here! It's magnificent. There's repeats of most of the zombie sculpts, except for the hallowed First Zombie. Only one of that fella. That's a great touch.
This week's haul.

No way could your latest Rodan or Mothra stand up to your newest Godzilla.

I picked up a Dippy Diver plastic figure for 6 bucks and a Tomb of Dracula 10 for 450 in the last two weeks. For some reason I'm in my western comics mode at the moment having picked up several Lash Larue issues ( including #1), Skywald westerns and several early Two Gun Kid comics. I'm now on the hunt for a Two Gun Kid #5 which has a charming female Black Rider story in it. There's a couple low grade issues for sale on eBay, but I'm holding out for a copy in a little better condition🤔

Finally got one of those Wendy's Creature cups! Had to buy a Dracula cup to get it, though. This was the third set of those he has sold, so he may have more to sell. If anyone is interested in just a Dracula, I'll be selling mine.

I found the Mego Creature last night. (Really wish they would have swapped the front and back art of the card though...)
I also asked nicely and got this cool piece of signage too!

Haha I suppose I am... I'm just friendly and enthusiastic. And as I've gotten older and more confident, I've become a firm believer in "They can't say 'No' if you don't ask." It's worked out pretty well so far.
(Also, this was a notoriously bad Walmart, the employees genuinely can't care any less.)

Great score. I usually ask for the Halloween DVD display cards from Walmart, and the clerk(s) give them to me.
I bought these from Retro-a-go-go last month.
Fun House Devil Mini Monster:

I like the Retro-a-go-go designs but the products are a little pricey. Also, I wish they offered the masks in standard size like Super 7 does. The big masks are too big to easily display and the Mini Monsters are too small for my taste (though the jointed hangers make the Mini Monsters a much more attractive purchase). Still, that Fun House Devil was too cool to pass on. >:D

I've seen a couple of garage kits (or bashed kits), but that's as close as it get's.
Received the Halloween figure set today from Fright Rags. Very cool packaging.
Will open them and display when I figure out where they will be going!
This new Walmart Exclusive Alien set. I repainted the first xenomorph from its original pearly white, to an oily, metallic green. For $20 you can't beat it!

Grabbed more Halloween decor from Target last month:

Also got a black shiny skull and some giant plastic flies. The big bugs are around 6" long and look cool amongst the monster stuff. I've loved those things since I was a kid (Creepy Crawlers!). I may use some of the big bugs in a custom playset at some point ('50s monster movie/Hamilton's Invaders big bug invasion themed).
2 new titles for the monster game shelf:
(https://www.dreadcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Funko-Games-Gremlins-Holiday-Havoc-Card-Game-3-1024x981.jpg)
Gremlins: Holiday Havoc
This one looks like a pretty light little reflex card game. Goal is to have the most cards in your pile after 2 daylight cards are revealed. You look out for matching pairs of gremlins and try to slap one of them, scoring them and any cards underneath them. I doubt it's amazing, but it's only like $7. From Funko Games.

Unmatched: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Another Unmatched set that's not quite as appropriate as the classic monster offerings from the Cobble & Fog release, but it's still horror, so It's worth a mention. This set comes with 4 new fighters: Buffy, Angel, Spike, and Willow. Each fighter comes with a sidekick in this set. Spike comes with Drusilla, Angel comes with the anti-hero slayer Faith, Willow comes with her doomed lover Tara, and Buffy has the option of bringing her watcher Giles or her pal Xander to the fight. I'm mostly getting this because my mom was a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie and then the show) and it was nice to get it because it reminded me of her, otherwise I might have skipped it as the show doesn't do much for me personally. But as usual, the production value is top notch, the minis and art are excellent. If you like Buffy and want a light game with 2-4 players, Unmatched is highly recommended.
Went on a themed shopping spree:

That set of monsters began showing up on eBay in 2013, evidently made from very well worn molds. I believe they were being made by a Mexican seller. Don't know the origin of the molds when they were new, but they are similar to some English molded toys I have seen.

Yep, I bought my set from a Mexican seller on eBay a few years ago. I haven't seen them show up for awhile. I know nothing about where the molds originated but I really liked them when I first saw them. Their stylized look really appeals to me. Kind of reminds me of the artwork of Mike Ploog or perhaps Richard Corben...not exactly, but reminiscent of that aesthetic.
Quote from: Underpreacher on November 25, 2020, 06:54:45 PM

I agree. I was lucky to find the set in "slime" or swamp green. Probably the best overall "monster" color. Back when these things showed up on eBay for awhile I saw some in wild colors like the blue one above, or bright red. The green seems more appropriate, but honestly I would have taken them in any color just to have a set.
Picked this Morbius up a few weeks ago. I hope they make more Marvel Horror characters like this. Werewolf by Night, Dracula, Satana, Simon Garth Zombie etc.

Just kidding around. That's some cool Creature stuff. I have the TOTS mask and mini bust ordered but they aren't supposed to ship until Dec. 15th. They probably won't make it by Christmas but hopefully they will. Nothing like a

The TOTS website says the Creature mask is "in stock". The mini bust says "out of stock", so I ordered it from another seller.

I saw those at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago. I asked the electronics guys what they did with those displays after Halloween. As we say in Italian, the guy was a real mamaluke. He told me they throw them away. I asked "You don't give them to employees?" Nope throw em away. I said "Well, what if I told you I'd like to take them?" Nope throw em away. I told him "that's bull$*^t." He said take it up with management. Can you believe that? So I told my wife I was gonna go back and just steal the panels, straight up. I should have.
Nothing like a Wal-Mart employee on a power trip.
When you think about it the reason they don't give a damn is obvious. They're not commission salesmen, there are no stock options for employees, there's no profit sharing plan and they're paid minimum wage. In short they're not paid to
care; so they don't. I don't blame them.

Nothing like a Wal-Mart employee on a power trip.
When you think about it the reason they don't give a damn is obvious. They're not commission salesmen, there are no stock options for employees, there's no profit sharing plan and they're paid minimum wage. In short they're not paid to care; so they don't. I don't blame them.
:-\
Walmart isn't quite THAT bad. They pay about double the US minimum wage for most hourly associates. Department Managers start at between $18-$30 per hour depending on if it's a smaller store or Supercenter. Obviously your not going to get rich but if your not yet in an established career, "semi-retired" or have a two income household it isn't terrible. Costco pays a lot more but you have to pay just to have the honor of walking in Costco. I don't have a strong opinion either way but I've certainly worked worse jobs than Walmart for less pay.

Okay. I'll grant you that Walmart employees aren't the lowest paid in America and that jobs at Walmart aren't the worst around. But nonetheless in defence of Walmart employees the fact remains that they have no skin in the game. Whether you continue to shop at Walmart or the company's profits are no concern of theirs. This is a failing on the part of Walmart since everybody knows that shareholders make the best employees.
Therefore it's fully understandable that the fellow at Walmart didn't care to go the extra step to please a customer. Quite simply there's a downside for him when he doesn't follow the established policies/procedures which have been drummed into him (he could be chewed out by his boss) but there's no upside.

The other day I randomly found these cool "Final Faction" alien/monster/kaiju figs at Dollar Tree. I get some Doom/Diablo vibes from the "Brute" fig, and some Pacific Rim Kaiju feels from the Synthoid. There's also a few accessory packs as well. I haven't seen the human figs yet, but I did see their accessory packs. (Remco Phantom for scale.)
Here's their spot at Dollar Tree's website:

Not enough new toy lines these days. This is definitely up there with Alternation as one of the cooler action figure lines lately.

After the disappointing Prospero Hall Shining game, I'm a bit more wary about this one. I've never done these 'escape room in a box' games before, but these contain multiple scenarios for 5 or so sessions, so I should get my money's worth out of it. Fingers crossed that it's good!
I knew there was something missing! I forgot to order these 2 pins and 1 patch from Han Cholo. Now I'm caught up (I think?).

Picked up a new monster mag called Eyrie from Mike Hoffman. Here's a link to the post in the Monster Magazine section:

I ordered the Collector's Catch which comes with the new first issue (signed), 2 signed prints, 2 stickers, a readership card, and a cool pinback button featuring the mag's host- The Headsman.

This is "Out Of Stock" now on the TOTS website. The Creature is a popular dude.
Finally took the plunge and grabbed a few Trick Or Treat Studios masks.

The Hammer Mummy mask was sold out on the TOTS website so I had to get one from an eBay seller. I've wanted that mask since I saw it on a David Lady You Tube video. I'm more of a monster mag/comic book/toy guy but I also really appreciate the masks. But, with display space about used up I'll probably call it quits for the full over-the-head masks (unless a great El Hombre Lobo mask snarls into existence :laugh:).
TOTS sent me a free air freshener and 10% off Fright Rags products. The code is TRICKORTREAT10 to save 10% if any of you guys are buying from Fright Rags (FRIGHT-RAGS.com)
The masks look great! How do you like those mask stands?

Thanks, Mike. Yeah, for the price those TOTS masks are pretty great, especially the Creature! So glad they got the Uni license.
The stands are working very nicely for me. They're cheap, lightweight, can be unassembled and reassembled, and give the masks good support. From a practical standpoint they seem to offer the best option for casual mask collectors like me.

I think the Chaney Phantom has fallen into public domain, so all they have to do is secure likeness rights. Wolf Man is a stumper though. I figured they still owned him.

The movie has been PD for a while, that's why they never include it in any of the DVD sets. I thought, maybe, they had TM the face for merch, though?
I thought something had changed recently since Chaney Phantom merch had suddenly stopped happening and all of a sudden Universal started making Rains Phantom stuff, which I don't think I had ever seen merch for previously.
We got some of the Keshi blind boxes at work. I got 2 of each wave. Got a Bride, an Invisible Man, a Phantom, and a Masque of the Red Death!

Another one for the monster game shelf. Abomination: The Heir of Frankenstein is a game that functions as a sequel to the original novel. Victor Frankenstein is dead, and the monster has decided it needs companionship and returns to the civilized world. He press gangs each player into building him a companion, (In story, the players are not aware of each other's situation. This is what is called a 'Euro-style' game, you compete with each other passively, instead of direct conflict).
You manage your supplies, find stocks of components to build your creature (which range from digging up bodies to straight up murdering people, which gives you the freshest components, which attracts unwanted attention from the authorities.) And try to build the best creatures possible.
The art is very nice, and properly grim and grisly, and this game has some fun moral choices to navigate. I'm very much looking forward to playing.

That looks interesting! I'm going to have to look into getting that myself. I ordered The Fury of Dracula, but haven't had a chance to play it yet, so this would be a nice companion game.
Fury is a classic! This one apparently has the benefit of being a shorter game at 1-2 hours. It also doesn't take up quite as much of the extravagant amount of space that the newer edition of Fury demands (That board is huuuuge).
I also bought some more of the Super7 Keshi figures, one each of wave 1 and 2. Managed to pull a creature out of both. I didn't even realize he was IN both waves! I'll take it, though.

Wave 2 is REVENGE OF THE CREATURE. Notice his manacles.
Right. I just didn't think about him being in there again. If anyone was getting a second version (barring phantom/red death) I would think It would be Frank.
Quote from: Lazarus on January 14, 2021, 07:38:38 PM

Isn't there a "Son of Frankenstein" figure?
I believe the 12 characters in wave 1 and 2 are frank, bride, dracula, red death, wolf man, Mole man, kharis, Metaluna mutant, invisible man, phantom of the opera, creature, and revenge creature.

Another one for the Monster game shelf -
The Bloody Inn! But in this one? MAN is the monster, baby.
Here's the blurb:
France 1831: In a remote corner of Ardèche, the little village of Peyrebeille sees numerous travelers pass through. A family of greedy rural farmers is determined to make its fortune and has devised a diabolical stratagem to achieve this goal: Invest in an inn so they can rob traveling guests, getting rich without arousing the suspicions of the police! Whether or not their plan will work out, one thing is certain: Not every guest will leave this inn alive.And the description from BoardGameGeek:
Quote
The Bloody Inn is a card game in which you play one member of a family of greedy, murderous innkeepers. At the start of each round, cards are placed face up to fill the inn with guests. Each card carries a cost representing how many cards a player must discard from her hand in order to take an action related to that card. Certain guests have an affinity for particular actions, so those cards return to a player's hand after being discarded. Cards also show how much money, in francs, each guest possesses. A round has two phases in which players take one action each, in turn order. Players choose one of the following actions:
bribe a guest into becoming an accomplice (take a card from the inn to their hand)
build an annex (move a card from their hand to their player area; it now represents a structure under which a victim may be buried)
kill a guest (move a card from the inn to their player area, awaiting burial)
bury a victim (place an unburied victim card under an annex card and take the money from the victim's pockets)
launder money (players may only have a certain amount of cash on hand; excess must be converted to 10F checks by the local notary)
At the end of the round, if any room of the inn contains one of the police, then they conduct an investigation; if a player has any unburied victims, then he must pay 10F per victim to the local gravedigger to hurredly — and quietly — bury the bodies! Lastly in the round, any cards (accomplices) in each player's hand must be paid 1F each. After the guest deck has been depleted the second time, players take a final round, then tally their francs. The player with the most money wins!
Basically I bought this because for some reason, it evokes a Hammer Horror vibe to me, and I'm all about it.
There's also an expansion called
The Carnies that adds some play variants and, of course, carnies. I may track it down later, depending on how this one goes over.
My Silent Screamers One:12 Collective Nosferatu figure came in from Big Bad Toy Store last weekend. I'm wearing the shirt right now.

And my local Wal-Mart finally started carrying MEGO figures. They only had two kinds, Hannibal Lecter and Candyman. I picked up the latter.

I've been waiting patiently for Walmart to carry MEGO figures
That card is perfect.
At last, after months of checking every few days, our local Walmart FINALLY got a Mego Creature from the Black Lagoon! Needless to say, it is now in my collection. I'm convinced that if every store had at least a half dozen of these, they would all sell out in no time.

I checked a local Wal Mart tonight for the Creature and there were none to be found but a couple of other Megos I hadn't seen showed up including a Rocky Balboa that I snagged.
Picked the Halloween III set up today at local comic book shop. I also visited WalMart looking for the mego Creech, but they didn't have one. They did, however, have one Robby the Robot left. :)

Well that explains why some people seem to be selling a lot of these in the UK if they are packing just that figure in one box. This wave has been the first lego wave that's being offered up by a few online retailers over here and I'm really hoping that this will happen from now on so that we can get them at a better price than importing them from the US.
Saying that though I've been going through a US private seller who charges the right price and exact shipping but if it gets picked up by customs there's going to be an extra charge to pay that wouldn't make it worthwhile is there's a UK option.
I long for the day that we get a fair crack at buying toys in the UK.

As long as you mentioned it as a gift on the customs slip and I think it has to be under $20-$25 dollars. Anything above that then you have to pay fees for it unfortunately.

Before shipping went up, I used to send American toys to someone in England in exchange for Doctor Who toys.

That's the better way to do it if you have a friend that you can help out, especially if it works both ways. It's always been like this in the Uk but I'm just more aware of it now a days due to following toy releases over the past several years.
Where there's a will there's a way though :)

Another one for the monster game shelf. Lovecraft Letter is a Love Letter variant with a Lovecraft theme and some additional mechanics involving (surprise, surprise) INSANITY! It's also fancier than the usual Love Letter presentation. i noticed it appears to be out of print and prices are starting to go up quite a bit, as many versions of Love Letter seem to, so I got my stores last copy before I never see it again for a reasonable amount of money.
Love Letter is a very quick little game that usually comes in a drawstring bag. It's very popular among board game people, and tends to be brought places like restaurants and pubs, where they can play a game or two while they wait for their food to be brought out. It's also inexpensive at about $12 retail. Lovecraft letter is a more spruced up version, featuring weighted poker chips, a fancy box, and sleeves for the tarot sized cards, so it runs about $30 retail. It's also the only spooky version of Love Letter, so if I was going to have a version on my shelf, it would have to be this one.
Got these CDs in the mail, today. They are low budget reissues, i.e., they don't have the original multi-page booklets. They were only about 7 bucks ea., though.

Hey, Mike
No, the t-shirt only has the Phantom image on it. The rest are stickers. I placed the stickers on the t-shirt when i snapped the pictures, so it's kind of misleading. He sent me 2 UM stickers, 1 Hellraiser sticker, and the Rock n Roll Monster Movie sticker. And one Phantom tshirt.

This one is a bit of a cheat, as I bought it about a year ago close to when it came out as a gift for my little brother. He's a big disney guy, and loves this movie. But, we just sat down to play it for the first time tonight, so now I can actually tell you about it.
This is another Prospero Hall game, the same board game design studio that did Horrified, Haunted Mansion: Call the Spirits, Godzilla: Tokyo Clash, and Back to the Future: Back in Time, and Jaws. All of which are excellent examples of thematic games. They also did Monster Crunch, a little card game about the General Mills Cereal Monsters, but that one is little more than a theme slapped on a card game, like a licensed UNO deck.
So, this is a cooperative game, the players vs the Sandersons. There's a cauldron board, a Sanderson Sisters tracking board, 4 trick tiles, a Binx cat token, a spell deck, and an ingredients deck.
Your goal is to impede the Sanderson Sisters until the sun rises the day after Halloween, and the magic that resurrected them has been spent. You do this by playing ingredient cards into the cauldron, and trying to get a set of 5 ingredients of 1 of the 5 types, a set of 1 of the five colors, or a set of the same ingredients in all 5 colors. Achieving one of these 3 objectives stuns the corresponding sister, and ends the round. Do this 3 times, and you win.
Sounds easy enough. But here's the trick:. You cannot talk to the other players to coordinate your plays, with 1 exception. At the beginning of your turn, you can ask a player a question. It's kind of unclear what the parameters this question has to meet are, but we think the intention is to only be be able to give vague, one word answers. Like "Do you have any Dead Man's Toe?" And they answer yes or no. You have to gamble on this limited info, and make your plays. You also have special ingredients and trick tiles at your disposal. The trick tiles can be used on any players turn, but each can only be used once the entire game, so they must be used sparingly. Special ingredients do one of two things: Binx the cat comes to aid you, allowing you to place your hand on the table so the other players can see your cards, or the Sandersons cast a spell. The spell can be cast by Mary, Sarah or Winifred individually, or they can cast a spell as a group. This is always bad. Binx stays in front of the player who summoned him until another player plays a card with his ability on it, or the Sandersons spells make him leave until another Binx card is played.
A turn goes as follows:
1) Ask a question
2) Play a card onto one of the 5 slots of the cauldron board, from your hand of cards. If a special ingredient is played, resolve that Binx or Spell card ability.
3) Replenish you hand.
And play continues until one of 2 things happen: a Sanderson sister gets stunned, or the ingredients deck runs out. If the deck runs out, it's game over, so getting a witch stunned quickly is ideal. If you manage to stun a sister, the tracker advances a space, and any spells that sister casts next round are negated. If you can stun one of the sisters 3 times (Any sister. You can stun one 3 times or get each of them once. Doesn't matter.) the sun rises, the magic fades, and you win the game.
Once a sister is stunned, however, you take the ingredient discard pile (an effect of the sisters spells, players never discard cards on their own.), and all of the ingredients in the cauldron, remove all of the special ingredient cards from the game, and shuffle the rest back into the ingredient deck. This replenished the deck a bit, but you lose opportunities to show your cards. However, you also have less chances for the sisters to cast spells the next round.
And that's it. Run out of cards and you lose. Stun a witch 3 times, and you win!
It's a fine little game. Not amazing, but not bad. The card stock is terrible, though. Buy sleeves for them. It'll make your life much easier, because they're a weird glossy stock, and shuffling them sucks.
Picked these up today. Shout out to Mars for explaining that Frankenstein Monster to me. I had never heard of that line and the guy at the comic book shop didn't know what it was either ???.

14" vinyl figure with posable arms. I don't think the heads moved. Made by Hamilton Gifts/Presents, 1991.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50966534721_91555b1be4_b.jpg)
They came in a plastic bag with a wrist tag. There was also a 14" Creature. (Anyone remember if they made a Mummy?)
They made 4" PVC figures and Pencil Toppers (heads only) of the same 4 monsters in 1991, too.
Looks like it's just these 3 and Creature. Couldn't find photos of anyone else. There's also a set of smaller rubber figures featuring the same 4 characters.
Here is the large Creature; interesting, but not the best likeness of the character. For some reason, the smaller figures seemed better proportioned. Also, they never made a Mummy, or I would have known about it.

Hamilton Gifts also made a Creature waterball/snowglobe in '91. I don't recall any other monsters, though.

Oh, the large monsters shipped with hang tags strapped to their wrists, all sealed in a plastic bag, with that bagged figure in a brown box with plain text on it, sealed with tape. Several of them had vacuformed plastic trays at the head and feet to stabilize the figure inside the box. Few people collect them MISB as, being non-graphic, they aren't very interesting.

The Pencil Toppers were 1½" tall on a black pencil - overall height was 8". They were sold in a countertop display containing 12 each of the 4 monsters.

I got the display and most of the toppers off eBay. The price was right and I couldn't resist. Then I found more toppers on Etsy.
It really is sweet. Seen from the top, the toppers fan out and look like a broccoli floret or bouquet.

One Wolf Man lollipop short. I know I have a couple loose Frankenstein extras somewhere. I could always stick one of them in there to make the full 48 pieces. But that seems like cheating to me.

Thanks for all the info, guys. Y'all have made me aware of some stuff I had no knowledge of. I had something very similar to these when I was a kid, but they were Star Wars figures. The early 90s stuff they released is such a blindspot for me because I was baby and there's just seemingly SO MUCH of it. I constantly learn about new stuff.

DD also did Cushing Van Helsing(s). All of these figures are higher end than the new Mego release.
Not trying to steal thunder, I just didn't know if you were aware of them. The new Mego Lee Drac is cool. 8)

It displays so well in the package I never took it out. Through the plastic window the base doesn't have anything like speaker holes that I could see.

The base does have what looks like it may be a button on top. The holes being on the base bottom explains why they aren't visible in the package. Maybe it was planned to have Lee Drac sound bites. Too bad that didn't happen. Christopher had that great commanding voice.

A voice chip was planned. It was nixed by....legal issues. The figure almost didn't get produced for the self same legal issues. Ancient history now, but every one was talking about it when the figure was new/in planning stages. I think Lee's representatives, or possibly Lee himself, was involved in the legality of it if I remember correctly.

Another one for the monster game shelf. In this one, you play as very classic tin toy esque maintenance robots on a space station. The space station has begun to be overrun by gribbly creatures called creeps, who are looking for food, and the human crew is the food! If a creep eats a person, they multiply into a new creep, so you want to avoid that at all costs. Your goal is to fight off the creeps and get 28 humans to the escape pods before they are devoured.
Lots of fun little figures in this one.

So, I found this Distinctive Dummies 12 inch Plague of the Zombies figure at an antique mall I frequent. It was listed as a "Zombie Vampire" and they only wanted $39.99 for it. My mind was blown. This is a bigger steal than the time I found a 1984 Tsukuda Metaluna Mutant model being sold as a "Mars Attacks alien" for $20 in the same antique mall.

You click on the little right-pointing arrow and it brings up a white box that contains a long address and picture size.
Select the picture size you want and copy the address.
In the middle of the address you will find the URL. It begins with
https: and ends with
.jpg - that is the part you want to paste between image brackets on the UMA.

I hit up the Cocoa Beach toy show this last Sunday, and found this guy at the High On Plastics (H.O.P.) Toys booth.
I got to chat with Bryan, and he's excited to have the official license for The Robot Monster! He loves classic monsters and Sci-Fi, as well as Japanese toys. I was on a budget but definitely wanted to support him, so I picked up this Robot Monster vinyl for $10.
He's out of South Florida, and it sounded like he's branching out to more shows, so if you're local - totally hit up their booth at the next show! I certainly plan on picking up more goodies.

Checked out a local antique mall I'd never been to because I found out they had a toy booth. They do lots of weird, random customs for some reason. And one of those was a Hasbro Wolf Man in Jedi robes being sold as a "Jedi Wolf". They also had a loose Sideshow Ghost of Frankenstein figure. Each was $40. Admittedly, I'm not super familiar with the Sideshow figures since I've never seen one out of a box before and I thought the Wolf Man was also Sideshow until I bought it and started comparing them side by side. But still doesn't seem like a terrible deal from what I can tell. These are the only 12" Universal figures I've ever bought and I'm afraid I might have opened a dangerous can of worms.

Mountain Town? They're good people, and Retroville is fantastic people.
Oh, man! You live around here?!
That would be them. Through a lot of circumstances not worth going into, I found out that I went to school with one of the guys that runs Mountain Town(he owns the coffee shop portion in Ellijay). I only found out about their 3rd spot a couple of days ago and decided to give it a look today.

Well, maybe they had to avoid them so Universal didn't send them a letter. But he's still pretty clearly a caricature of Karloff, so I don't know. The book never actually reveals the precise method of his animation, so maybe they're going that route.

Two more for the monster game shelf. Both of these are out of print now, but I had some fun money allotted to myself from the last stimulus payment, so I took a chance on some used stuff.
Ghost Stories is cooperative and is about a group of Chinese Taoist warrior-monks defending an inn from a hell lord and his legion of ghosts. I bought this used, as both expansions were included and the price was right. Haven't played it yet, but it's very highly regarded, and also apparently quite difficult. One of the expansions allows a player to be the villain, which should add some spice down the road.
City of Horror is a rework of an earlier game called Mall of Horror, which I remember selling at my store once upon a time, and passed on then because I thought it looked like a bit of a mess. City of Horror apparently fixed a number of problems with Mall of Horror, and gave it more replay value with a newly modular board. This one isn't cooperative though. You are all trying to survive 4 hours at the peak of a city wide zombie situation (think opening minutes of Dawn of the Dead) so you can get a ride out with the military.
you can tell Amazon sent me box with rippied top >:(
I do like the figure though. Check out this book too. Glossy images, good stock paper. Well done.

Super 7 Remco Mini Monster homage cardbacks (with some original Mini Monsters thrown in for comparison). The Crimson Ghost version was actually released by Super 7 a few years ago and Nosferatu, Hitchcock, Maria and Toxie more recently. They are all in Gonk Toys Acrylic cases. Gonk Toys make a Remco Mini Monster specific case as well as cases for any 9x6 cardback (and tons of others types of toys and cardback sizes).

Creature string lights. These were a bit expensive for what they are but I really like the look of them:

I always thought those creature lights would look great around a pool - on a small bar built like a bamboo hut, decorated with fishnets w/ cork floats. Paper lanterns and tiki torches and drinks with little paper umbrellas in them, etc. Potted Palms everywhere.

Hahaha, that's funny because the description you just masterfully gave is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Down to every detail. It's actually scary how right in that description is. The only thing I'd add is I'd have a full stack of those Super 7 vintage Creature towels on a little bamboo cubby for pool visitors.

Yeah, I watched them for a LONG time before I just said screw it I'm buying. I was waiting and waiting for another one to pop up for a more reasonable price but they must be somewhat rare I guess?

Same here! Of course, now that you bought that one, everybody will want $100 for theirs. :P
Back in the 1990's I got two sets of the UM string lights from Spencer's Gifts (the ones that had Frankenstein, Dracula & the Wolf Man). But I always wanted to get a Creature set to intermingle with mine. The CFTBL ones have always been expensive, but I never knew that they went up that high.

Finally completed my collection of FILMFAX by getting the hard to find (at a decent price) issue #2. It's in pretty good condition and I got it for $20 shipped! :) In NM cond. they can go for well over $100.

Here it is next to the Dark Shadows Barnabas cane for size comparison.
Cool.
Now you should get the one from The Storm of the Century.
I have a few dozen canes already but that would be nice to have as well.
I really wanted the one from a few years back but for $45 this is a great placeholder.

Sometimes its best to pay a bit more just to have the item and avoid stress. Esp now, anything vintage (20 years) besides the Sideshows and a few rack items are getting tougher and tougher to find.
Stuff that was dime a dozen 10 years ago doesn't show up much now.
Anyone else getting The Munsters reaction figures ? Got mine yesterday, super cool ! Also got some little big heads I needed :) (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210427/ba32651fe8c4e692327bd38d8a97d4a7.jpg)

It came in a simple, plain carboard gold box - like a gold donut box. The plastic liner fit snugly inside. The top folded back to display the LBH's inside.
Story is that these were gifts from Sideshow to favored vendors. So there are not all that many sets out there.

More "tributes" in the style of the Penn-Plax Creature? Not to my knowledge. The weren't aware that there exists a black version of the Penn-Plax Creature, but the demand was so high they wanted to allow fans to get a version of it after the color version sold so well.
More "tributes" to monster toys of the past? The odds are very, very good.
Yes, Penn-Plax only released a Creature aquarium toy, so S7 is only releasing their Creature in this iconic box rep.
I'm trying to think of replica packing for any of the other monsters, but am coming up dry. It would have to be a window box, or similar.

Not necessarily. We've already seen non-UM characters in Remco tribute packaging...
More than anything I'd like to see them release at least the UM figures they've already shown at Toy Fair 2019 but following that it would be pretty cool to have GITD UM figures in that Remco style packaging.

Well, all of their 3.75" UMs are on Remco style bubble cards. They put the Creature in a Penn Plex box. I was trying to think of another recognizable package to use for another monster. Like putting the Frankenstein toy in the Marx batt-op box, except that box has no window.

Print, greeting cards, and wrapping paper by Spooky Cat Press: $45
Godzillas and teeny Ultraman are given as drink garnishes at Susuru, a retro toy themed Japanese restaurant near Disney. Awesome gimmick and fantastic food if you're ever in the area.

Another one for the monster game shelf! Aliens: Bug Hunt is a dice based cooperative game for 1-4 players. It has some figures, but only for the players, as you move your marines tile by tile through the ship and eradicate aliens as you go, which are represented by dice. The game has an interesting feature in that the rulebook is split up into the 4 roles, so each player gets a portion of the rules. This allows you to set up and get playing for the first time quickly as each player in in charge of a different part of the game. I thought that was neat.
If you're into the idea of an Alien game, but want something with minis of the Xenomorphs, Gale Force Nine has an Aliens game that came out recently also, called Another Glorious Day In The Corps! which is a big action game that plays very much like the old Games Workshop game Space Hulk (Which, of course, was a Alien 're-appropriation' using Warhammer themes). I haven't bought that one because I own a copy of Space Hulk, but I might change that, as Another Glorious Day can play with more than 2 people. With these 2 and the upcoming Fate of the Nostromo, it's a very Alien heavy year for board games!

I wanted a set of these Scooby figures to display with NECA's Toony Terrors line but I didn't think I would score a set for a decent price. When I first started looking back in February the prices were all $80 and up for this big of a lot, well as chance would have it I decided to revisit Ebay at the end of April; I lost out on a set for $66 (free shipping) but the seller (from China) immediately listed another set and I scored that one for $32 (free shipping). The seller must have felt they were getting the short end of the stick because now the set is a starting bid of $.01 but shipping is $89.99. There are a few accessories missing but the photo didn't show any and I actually received the hammer for the clown; there is also one other figure in this line that wasn't included.

Yes, those are possibly the Empire companies 'Villainous Vampire' and 'Menacing Monster'. The molds were later sold to General Foam plastics company, but its hard to determine without looking at the makers mark. These are made in the USA, from the late 90s/early 00s if Empire and from mid 00s to 2015 or so if General Foam. Both companies are out of business now, and the molds have been lost/destroyed. Vintage Halloween blow mold prices got very high over the last year on Ebay and since shipping is so expensive on these big ones, it throws off the actual value of the blow molds. They look really nice: no fading, scratches, etc.

Awesomeness! McFarlane Movie Maniacs are the rad!
Thanks Mars. Picked these up today. This time I visited some comic book shops on the other side of town. If UMA members are ever in the metro Detroit area, shout out to Big Ben's Comix Oasis and Asylum Collectibles.

Got a little zombie card game for my nephew from Kohl's. It's cheap and the art is fun.
I would have bought one for myself as well.

We'll see. Haven't even opened it yet. If the cards look nice I might get an extra deck. I also bought him a Five Nights at Freddie's game yesterday, but I need to work that one out first before I show it to him.
Just got a set of the 4 APC cereal premium 11x14 posters. All are dead mint, never folded. I only wanted the Creature poster, but bought this set because of the condition. I'll be selling the other three.

Awesome, Mike.
Went to Walmart looking for a NECA Frankie. No luck. But I did grab a NECA Ghost Face and Mego Hammer Dracula. I ordered a Mego Lee from Amazon, but the box was torn. So I opened it. Now I'll keep this new one boxed.

No Frankie at our WM, but they had a few of the Hammer Dracula.
Found myself a Macready at Super Target last night. Last one on the shelf because the box was damaged. The figure is lovely though. I'll get him opened and posed up with a Thing figure once I redo my space.

I hope you find yours soon.
The mailman was good to me, today!
I got a few monster mags, the Mego 8" dark var. Creature and the 12" Mondo Creature! The Mondo box is huge! (12" x 14" x 4")
Sorry! No pics. :(

Since I could only afford one, I went with the color. I didn't get the Sideshow 12" b/w Creature, either.
I can't do B&W stuff when it comes to figures. I don't know why, really. It just doesn't appeal to me.

The only time I do b/w if its the only option available. The movies may have been filmed in black and white, but in life they were in color.

Great set of Mego's and I was wondering if the new darker Creatures body looks so different to the head and hands at it appears in your picture? The first release seemed a fairly close match for colour on the body suit to plastic parts but all the pictures I've seen so far look a little different on this newer version.
I also have all these figures and Wolfman and can't wait for the Mummy to arrive :)

Never say never and all of that but, given the open statements Mego Corp employees have made regarding their difficulty in dealing with the estate and subsequent cancelation of the Lugosi 14 inch Dracula, it's highly unlikely there will be another, imo. Did you ever see the second release, with the cape lined in red? The card still uses the "Mark of the Vampire" image, but no longer in a circle and without the Target mandated horizontal color fields. Here's a link with a good photo (I know nothing about this seller).

Hey Ian,
Not to speak for Geezer, but the new release of the Creature does indeed look in person pretty much as it looks in the photo: head, hands, and feet are darker than the jumpsuit.

Thanks Shannon, it seems a shame that the shades of green differ so much from the plastic to cloth parts as it didn't seem so noticeable on the first release. The 14" also looks to have a more similar colour throughout although I'll have to wait for mine to arrive to see how it looks to eye.
Still great that we have mega creatures though so can't complain :)

Sorry again for no pics...
Picked up a Frankenstein model from Dark Horse (1991?) at a flea market over the weekend. Unbuilt w/ instructions.
Got it from a gentleman who said he bought a storage unit because of the LPs in it (vintage LPs are his gig) and it had this and some other horror items he hasnt
gotten around to setting up yet.
Just curious, I dont know the "value" of this piece. Started at $100, got it for $70. Im content with this, but just wondered what the street value of this piece is.
Its a permanent part of my collection. Glad I could give it a good home!

Thanks Shannon. Yes, I agree. That's how it looks in person. Also, thanks for the Mego Lugosi tip. I'll keep my eyes my open for that version. Def an improvement over the pink board. And I suspect you're right about not seeing an official UM Lugosi Dracula Mego figure :(

Yes, the box is larger than he is. Also the figure is packed with the legs folded back so the tail can be intact.

Got a new one for the monster game shelf! I'm really excited about this one. I'm putting more info in the thread we've already got up for it.
Hello everyone, my first post. Yesterday I got lucky and found the colored NECA Frankenstein, had to drive almost an hour out of the way but was finally able to find him with help from Targets website showing me where stock was. Idk if this is the right thread but I thought I would share a few pics of my current collection. Mostly Sideshow figures with some oddities, a blanket I had custom made and some books that aren't pictured. Also, I got extremely lucky and bought the Creature From the Black Lagoon Sideshow figure autographed by Julia Adams

Just ordered this one. This is from a line called 'Pack-o-Game' where the titles are in a box that's roughly the size and shape of your classic 5 stick pack of chewing gum. It's a 2 player game, with cards consisting of black ghosts and white ghosts, with the ghost of the opposite color on the other side of the card. It's all about your ghosts scaring other ghosts and flipping their cards, changing them to your color. It's just something small that I'd been wanting.
Here's a little explanation video.

The 500 series is the only one that doesn't skimp on monsters. The other ultraman lines need more bad guys desperately.
Two of my local Walmarts got their annual pallet of model kits, located near the toy aisles. It has a pretty good assortment - classic AMT reissues, some Coke edition stuff, Star Trek, etc. New stuff this year included two different Wacky Racer models, some custom chopper models, including Ed Roth's Mail Box Trike, and a Studebaker model that came in a tin box. Most were either $15, $20, or $25.
But what grabbed me were these Lindberg Jolly Roger series pirate motion models, molded in Glow in the Dark Plastic. The pallets only have two models from the line - The Duel with Death and Escape the Tentacles of Fate. Both are $15 each. I thought they were cool and reminded me of the old Pirates of the Caribbean models - only to look online and discover that they are! (And now I want the "Hex Marks the Spot" kit!) It looks like they reissued the entire Disney line.

I had the octopus version when I was a kid. Is this really an annual one-time thing with Wal Mart and model kits?

I had the octopus version when I was a kid. Is this really an annual one-time thing with Wal Mart and model kits?
From what I've seen when I've been paying attention, yes. Its one big, pre-packed, cardboard display, loaded onto a pallet that gets dropped in the middle of the aisles near toys. It's 4 sided, with an assortment of different genres of models - classic cars, modern cars, movie cars (the Tim Burton Batmobile was there this year), Star Trek/Wars, and some "wacky" ones. Last year or the year before it was 3 or 4 Weird-Ohs for $8 each. As the models sell down they eventually will get moved to an endcap, and I've seen some stick around to be clearanced slightly.
Oh man, I would be down for those pirate kits. I saw an endcap full of models at the Walmart one town over, but although they had the Trek, Batman and Coke kits, the rest were standard cars, etc. I may need to go back and dig through to see if I missed these.
Chris
If anybody wants help with these, let me know and I can look locally for them. Price + tax + shipping.
Although after shipping they might be available online for about the same.
Walmart shopping haul.

Thanks, geezer! Don't know if they are licensed, or not, but I picked up a couple of Creature air fresheners and a Creature sticker.
Picked up the UM capsules at Walmart a few weeks ago (i posted picture in another thread). Scored the VC figure at Target and the other items at Spirit Halloween store.

What's the F13 mask thing? Is it a decal?
It's just some wall art made of wood. I think it was less than $20. I think it's a cool idea to show all the mask variations in one piece.
A few new things.
The new UM glass and a new mask. Quality mask! Heavy plastic with padding around the eyes and on forehead and a good elastic strap. Not sure why they let a 5 year old decorate it? Unlicensed with no markings. Apparently from a co. named "Way to Celebrate"?

Wow! Really cool.
Bought the Party City Frank and Freddy v Jason cups, got the nephew a couple Among Us blind boxes (which is an online game that's basically a kiddie version of The Thing, if you're unfamiliar), and hit Spirit for a Haunted Mansion Mug with the wallpaper on it and an IT tin with some cherry balloon candies in it.
I'm so ready for Halloween season.
Stopped by Target and found the new Jaws Toony Terrors

Thanks Mike. Yeah I was thinking of you my friend. Lotta cool Creech merch there. And they have, idk, half a dozen gift shops at the park. Plenty of opportunities to spend money, lol. You may want to check online, if it interests you, but they had a limited edition Creature hoodie. It was pretty awesome, but very pricey. I already have a UM hoodie and Creature jacket, so i passed.

Actually.....
I would have really been ecstatic if Sideshow or Diamond select produced a Chucky/Childsplay figure. As they did produce the other 80s classic Horror Slashers.
In my opinion, all of the 80s slashers are just as important and deservingly part of a classic era of Monsters. Universal or not.
Both Nosferatu and Lon Chaney/London After Midnight figures were produced by Sideshow and neither are Universal Monsters.
Again, to reiterate. They are all important. So.....yeah! I would have wanted Chucky to been included as well as the other Slashers.

That's not what I said, though. Do you want a toy line that includes Frank, Drac, WM, Mummy, Jason and Chucky, all in the same style boxes with "Universal Monsters" on the box?
Norman is a Universal character also. He'd certainly be appropriate.

Found these NOT-Lego-Kreo-Mega Bloks zombie sets at Dollar Tree. I was looking for Halloween stuff, but these were in the toy aisle so I'll post them here.
If you buy the first two sets pictured, you have enough pieces for a whole Lego skeleton, and some bones left over. I like the crooked tombstone and the others gravestones.

(Ah! I just noticed the "Hollywood" on your sign...) I got off work at Universal Orlando this morning and walked over to the main park in search of the Mego Creature. I hit every conceivable gift shop with HHN merch and couldn't find one. I was about to ask you which shop, but I just noticed you went to Cali.
"I made him an offer and he didn't refuse."
Saw one of the ESCO Creatures (the better looking one) for BIN, or offer and offered him $50 less and he accepted. I'll post a better pic when I get it.

Saw one of the ESCO Creatures (the better looking one) for BIN, or offer and offered him $50 less and he accepted. I'll post a better pic when I get it.

Wow!
Went hunting for the new Horrified game and came up empty. Got some Reeses Pumpkins to make it up to myself.
Also stopped in a spirit and got myself a Heart of Damballah Amulet from the Childs Play movies. I'm sure the plating is cheap for the 13 bucks I paid, but its metal, so it has a nice weight, and it looks good!
Have both versions, these are so cool...

Expensive month. Got my Jada Universal Monster set, and the new Horrified: American Monsters game, featuring American Cryptids like Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, and Mothman!
EDIT: Mothman, not Morgan. It also has the Ozark Howler, the Chupacabra, and the Banshee of the Badlands, which I've never heard of.

If anybody is looking for cards from this set, there's a bunch of them on eBay.

No, I do collect thoughout the year, I just started posting my most recents because I finally got myself on a photo sharing site so I can post pics lol.
I appreciate you helping me out earlier in the year with the Dr Dreadful pics!
Geezer, I paid $40 for Frankenstein, I dont know how much Drac was. The guy was asking $100. I wasnt willing to pay that for him, but my girl was with me, she bought that and a couple other pieces from the same guy as "Christmas" presents, and she said he worked out a really good deal for the stuff. From what Ive seen, $100 is an average asking price, but I dont know what they go for in the real world.
Besides the Sideshow Uni-monsters. The Shrieks and Creaks game is super cool, too.
Can anyone tell me more about this ? (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211103/8e9265467bd3df8c84196d030a38cfa3.jpg)

The only thing I could find was from Gallery of Monster Toys.
Battery-Operated Chupacabras from Mexico (c1997)
The Chupacabras, or "goat sucker," is Latin America's answer to Bigfoot. The vampire-like creature reportedly drains the blood of goats, cows and other animals. Many Chupacabras toys have appeared in Mexico, including this 12-inch, battery-operated walking robot. The same company produces battery-operated super-hero toys.

Another one for ths spooky game shelf, although this one might be a cheat.
(https://lookout-spiele.de/upload/en_patchworkhalloween.html_CoverImage.jpg)
This is a slightly reworked version of a popular 2 player game called Patchwork, by Uwe Rosenberg. It's a big hit with couples apparently, and is supposed to be very good. I've been trying to stick to my horror theme when making my purchases lately, to help me save a bit of cash, but this was my excuse to grab a copy of this one. the game is about making a quilt, and trying to set up that quilt to score you as many buttons (eyeballs in this edition) as possible, while filling up your quilt board as best you can. You and your opponent pull the irregular patch tiles from a shared pool, so the patches available to you change from game to game. At the end of the game, you score points for the number of eyeballs you've collected, and subtract points for the number of empty spaces on your quilt board. Easy, quick, clean. I guess they ran the regular version of the game through an algorithm, and rebalanced the tiles for this one, but since I haven't played the original, I couldn't tell you if this is going to be an improvement or not. We'll see!

Ordered this one today. It's a reprint of a game from 1981. You can play it as a head to head 2 player game with Van Helsing vs Dracula, or as a roleplaying game with up to six. It's part of the old Pocket Game line, so the production is deliberately cheap, with perforated cardboard chits and a paper map. I'm not sure how well it's gonna go over with my family, but I live for stuff like this.

I think the face looks a little small for the head, personally. But that might just be distortion from a person's head not being in there.

The head does hold it's shape, without being stuffed, but I wouldn't say it is extra thick. Kinda average. It is slit halfway up the back, but I still couldn't squeeze it over my head and didn't want to force it. I was afraid it might tear. I like it for a display piece, though! :)

New one for the monster game shelf! Richard Garfield's The Hunger! This was my christmas present to myself this year. The premise is that you all play as vampires, striking out from your mountain castle lair to get as much blood as possible and get back to the castle before sunup. Each human is worth an amount of victory points and the surviving vampire with the most victory points at the end is the winner! Be careful though, the more full of that precious blood you get, the slower you become!

One more for the monster game shelf! Probably the closest we'll get to a Tremors board game. You play as rednecks driving around a desert area collecting eggs from giant burrowing worms. Had a few gift cards so I got this and another non monster related game.
Hope you all had a good holiday!
That game has some cool box graphics! :)
I just picked up yet another copy of Sounds to Nake You Shiver! ( 1974, Pickwick)with different backing/tip-on jacket reversed side.
There is also a white back cover I am looking for.

Another one for the monster game shelf. Just ordered this one for myself as a late Christmas present. It's been a tough year and things are only looking up now.
This one is a head to head game, with one player playing the human resistance and the other playing the Martian invaders. This is an interesting game, in that the humans can't kill any of the Martian units! The Martian goal is of course to wipe out humanity, and the humans goal is to deal damage to the Martians and score 30 points while doing so. This gets harder and harder, as the Martians wipe out human resistance as they move forward. The game takes place in the UK years after the original War of the Worlds, with the main board being Britain itself. I bought the kickstarter edition for a pretty reasonable price so I got the miniatures to replace the cardboard standees (had to have the tripods!) and an expansion board that adds Ireland as well.
Picked up this classic game for under ten bones.
The photo I posted is not the game I purchased.

I love the graphics on that Creature Castle Game.
I wish I could find old horror games down here. That's a lovely find!
Thanx. This game is really pricey on eBAY. Great box art. No frills game.
Got a couple items from Retro A Go Go today...
The Dracula & Ygor masks. I dig them. The boxes are a heavier cardboard than the other ones Ive bought from them

New little one for the monster game shelf! There's lots of versions of this one, from animals to fables. They finally did one that's up my alley!
The game consists of a deck of 30 unique full art monster cards, ranging from the old favorites to current archetypes like an Annabelle-esque killer doll. The goal is to reduce the tableau of cards down to a single character, the secret character.
One player assumes the role of the clue giver, and draws a random card to determine the secret character for the game. Then, they draw 11 more cards, shuffle them together, and form a 4x3 grid on the table, with the cards face up. Then, the clue giver draws a hand of 5 cards from the remaining monsters, to form their hand of clues. The clue giver can not speak. The clue that they give is based on the card they play from their hand. If they play a card vertically, to show that the secret character and the clue have something in common, or horizontally, to show that the secret character is in some way different to the clue they chose. This is open entirely to the players to interpret the meaning of each clue. For 5 rounds, guesses are made, eliminating cards until the 5th round, where it will come down to 2 cards. If they players eliminate all but the secret character, the table wins!
Honestly, I bought this because it was pretty cheap, and I liked the art. We'll see if we like playing it. But it looks like a good time!
Just got these new little Creatures from Super 7. Here they are next to my old Creatures...

New monster game! One of my Kickstarters from last year. This one didn't ship in time for Christmas like originally intended, but I'm happy to have it anyway.
It's a trick taking game, based on a Japanese game about time travel (trick taking games are apparently a very popular game type in Japan. Lots of good ones coming from there the last few years) and now given a Christmas Carol re theme focusing on the ghosts!
Lovely art. Wish the cards were printed on proper playing card stock, but it's not the end of the world. I also sprung for the deluxe component upgrade as it was only a few dollars extra.
So, I don't have this yet, but I'm definitely getting one, and I'm having a hard time making a decision.

We got in a huge stack of real 14" x 22" theatre posters from the 70s and 80s at work. Among them was this Langella Dracula poster by Edward Gorey from the production of the Dracula play he did the set design for. However, there is ALSO one with Raul Julia's name on it, as he took over the role later on. I can't decide which to get. What do you guys think? I can only afford one, as it's a bit pricey.
(I'm going to dig through for other horror ones. I know there's a Carrie one and a Frankenstein one, but neither really appealed to me.
Nice Window Card! Personally, I'd rather have the Langella card. I associate him more with the role than I do Julia.
Pretty psyched about this Godzilla figure!

One more for the monster game shelf! Planet of the Apes goes hand in hand with the classics for a lot of us AND it was in Famous Monsters alot, so I'm counting this one as appropriate.
I got this cheap, and I'm a big fan of the original Apes movies, so I'm looking forward to play it. It definitely seems.... interesting. You all play as Taylor, specifically aspects of his personality (Clever, Commander, Cynical, and Defiant) and you're working together to get through various scenes as you progress through the game. That's about all I know right now.
Oh, my! I definitely want this.
I've seen it at Ollie's if you have one of those in your area. I do recommend looking up a video for it first and seeing if it holds your interest, as it isn't terribly visually appealing as a game, outside of the gorgeous box. The game came out about 5 years ago, so you can probably find it for a decent price online.

I really like the Invisible Man in the box, it's a shame there's not a Mego online store you can just buy this stuff from, it's not worth it to me to set foot in a Way*Mart but I'd buy it in a second if it were online (and it's not on the Wally World .com store)

That WM sculpt (body, Chaney face, WM face) is, maybe, the best I've seen, on a toy.
The Mummy figure looks a little small compared to the others. Especially compared to the Frankenstein figure, since they were portrayed by the same actor, they should be the same size (minus the platform boots, of course).
Other than that, they all look GREAT.

The Mummy didn't have the additions of the Monster's flat headpiece and built-up roofer's boots. He's also supposed to be desiccated from all those years of desert burial.
I'm taking the boots into consideration. The headpiece added no more than an inch (if that). As to the mummy being shrunken and emancipated...yeah, but not the actor. Karloff played both roles so the figures should be the same height, less the boots, and sure looks a foot shorter than the monster, and the boots aren't that high.
The height difference was something I definitely noticed. Even with the boots, they do differ pretty drastically in height. I think they fudged the heights despite the actor, which I'm honestly fine with. If they make other Frankensteins with the different actors, I'd kinda prefer if they were the same height.

Got this one on sale. Apparently it's based on a mobile game? I bought it because the little wooden cubes that represent zombies in the game had little zombie faces on them, and I liked it. No idea if the game will be good or not. Hope so!

Yeah, I kinda like that the Frankenstein figure is the largest and most physically imposing of them. If we're going for realism regarding the actors' heights, Wolfman should be taller than both (which I wouldn't want). But I get the point about it being a little odd Mummy is so much smaller, since Karloff played them both, even if I'm fine with it.
The Jada G-I-T-D Creature came yesterday. Today I got this 5" plush made by Toy Factory. It looks exactly like the 10" one that came out about 3 yrs ago.

More for the monster game shelf! This is the inaugural release from Trick or Treat Studios new game division (which I plan on getting more of as time goes on), and I thought it would be worth a look. This came home with me last night, so I haven't even had the chance to open it yet. I will say that if I didn't get this at work, where I get a discount, I probably would have skipped it, as it retails for $70, seems to be just a board, cards and cardboard tokens with a few player screens, and it's the first game from this designer. So it's a gamble. We'll see how it goes.

Got this one last week. Based on the Vampire the Masquerade RPG universe and seminal 90's goth pastime, this is a card game about each players clans vying for control of the city. Much cheaper than Blood Orders was, despite this actually having an IP attached to it. Hope it's good!

One more for the monster game shelf! Last game from me for a bit. This month has been very expensive.
The legend of the Prague Golem is something I've always liked, and the 1910s-1920s German silent movies about the golem are a classic of early horror films and movie monsters. How could I pass up a game on the subject?
Here's the blurb: "The game is based on the 16th-century legend of the Golem of Prague, an anthropomorphic creature that Rabbi Loew animated from a clay statue to protect his people. In the game, players take on the role of rabbis who create and grow these powerful creatures that will be moved around the neighborhoods of Prague under the control of students. Be careful, because if a golem becomes too powerful, it will destroy everything it encounters on its way. Players can also kill their Golems in order to get bonuses."
It's not a cheap game, but the box is sizable, so I'm curious what it's going to look like once I get it opened up.
Frankly, I'm just happy it's not another vampire game. Too many of those. I'm trying to find a game about a Mummy, but that doesn't appear to be a much used subject for games these days.
Ordered these two 24x36 lithographs today; the Creature will glow in the dark.

Super cool holographic sticker.
Found these yesterday. Crime SuspesnStories Number 4? An early EC comic from 1951 found in a pile of old magazines? Yeah, it is a beater but it name checks Haunt of Fear right on the cover.
I also found World Famous Creatures Number 2 there. When I say it was a pile of old magazines, it was a PILE of worthless stuff I have never heard of. I should probably go back and look again today...

Cool! Too bad they won't be doing (I assume) a Creature.
I'm sure they could do a fishman with some tweaks very easily.
These came yesterday. They're the little stickers that they would put on those '60s gumball mini-wallets and charms. Now if I could just find some wallets and charms to stick them on! :)

That's wild! I'm completely unaware of this reprint. Have you got a link to it, or the name f the publisher?
That graphic novel would be nice to own. I tried to Google 'd it....and could not find any info.
Maybe Darkhorse reprinted as a graphic novel?
I found the book on Amazon. It's titled "monster movie classic comics.". It's published by gwandanaland comics. It cost about $20. It's fairly new. There is a all color version and a slightly cheaper black and white version.

The way I approach collecting is...One doesn't need original copies of the Strand magazine to appreciate and enjoy Sherlock Holmes. Owning reprints of rare comics is fine. Maybe they are worth as much on the market but that somewhat misses the point.

Is it a game?
Yes! Sorry. It's a social deduction game, like Werewolf or Mafia. It's a small box with a deck of square cards. It's team based with Hunters trying to find which among them is secretly a vampire. There's a fun element to this one where one player is Renfield, and is the only player whose role is public knowledge. Renfield works to hinder the hunters and keep them from sussing out who the vampire is.

That's just one of those optical illusions, like where they make the two bananas look like they're different sizes. ;D

Monster goodness
Got me that Cracker Barrel Frankenstein shirt. I have the ancient Dracula and Mummy (first piece of Kharis merch I ever saw) shirts they carried once upon a time (over 15 years ago now), so I thought it would be appropriate to get this one too.
Also got a new game for the monster game shelf!

Isn't this adorable? The theme of the game is that all of you play witches, competing against each other to build a gingerbread house to lure fairy tale characters and 'trap' them for points. (The game says trap. But we all know what that witch was up to.)
I always get a chuckle out of adorable games with sinister undertones.

Another for the monster game shelf. Got the Scooby Doo version a while back and decided I needed the original.
Target did a lot of game clearance this past month to make room for a slate of new material, so I finally got myself this glorious broken mess. I should really get the expansion at some point before it all gets expensive now that the next edition is out.
Wow, I love the box art.

Hit my first Spirit for the year. They didn't have everything yet. Got a set of these little plastic jack o lanterns depicting the characters from Nightmare Before Christmas (Jack with 2 expressions, Sally, Oogie Boogie, Zero, and Dr. Finkelstein. They also had a Woody from toy story but I skipped it), and a magnet and some window decals for Killer Klowns from Outer Space, as my Trick r Treat decal from last year has faded into a white silhouette and needs replacing. Also got the plastic Universal Monsters cup. I'll probably visit again soon as they didn't have everything yet. Lots of good Haunted Mansion and Beetlejuice stuff this year. I really want a Gargoyle candelabra and the Beetlejuice candy dish with the Zagnut bar, although that was disappointingly small.
Also got the NECA glow mummy on the remco style card from Target. He's lovely.
Happy spooky season is here.

Best to future life , to you and your Family, Judd.
I appreciate the well wishes. Today I got the new McFarlane Super Powers Batman. For the price, it's really well made. It's a quality figure and it will fit well in the new Super Powers Batwing I have. I own a number of the 80's Super Powers figures, vehicles and playsets. The new toys compliment the originals.
Not long ago my area had a serious problem with porch pirates but recently I haven't had any problems with my packages being swiped. The neighbor's did tell me they have footage of me on their porch cams playing with their pets.

I went through the same thing when I got a great Clinton Plastics Glenn Strange Frankenstein Bucket for a B-I-N price of $49.99. I was certain the seller would get so many offers to void our deal that he would buckle to his own feelings of having cheated himself by not doing proper research before listing.
These boxes come up so rarely that your seller had no way of knowing what he had.
GREAT FIND!

Went by Spirit Halloween and got this UM fleece blanket. I also picked up a couple of the blind bag foam keychains. Was hoping for Dracula and Frankenstein (already have Wolfman), and it must have been my lucky day because those are the two I got. They also had a coffee mug which was tempting, but I ultimately passed on it.

I have an 88 card set of these wonderful Space Cards that Topps issued in 1957:
(http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Balticprince/SpaceCards-1.jpg)
Topps rereleased the set in 1958 under the new name Target: Moon to capitalize on the space race.
Half the set was reissued under the Target: Moon title in Topps Fun Packs in 1967-68 but with backs variously termed pink or salmon. These are quite difficult to find.
But a fellow poster very generously just sent me these two splendid pink backed Target: Moon cards for free!

So I'm therefore adding Target: Moon pink backs to the sets at which I'm pecking away!

This is a reissue of an older game. It's basically a dice game that uses tokens, so the zombie theme is extremely thin, but the zombies are made of a material like those white domino's, and the dice are also good and etched. It's a nice production.

This one is completely new! From Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: the Gathering, King of Tokyo, and Robo Rally. Creature Feature is a card game where you all play as Hollywood agents trying to find your movie monster clients gigs in the latest monster flicks. It uses poker style bidding to win the casting agents over so you can score based on the stars the the high profile of the gigs. I'm looking forward to spending some time with this one.

Not too long ago i got this awesome piece of Dracula art from Epyon5.
It is painted on cut wood and measures 11"x13.5" and is about 1/2" thick.

Haha!! It looks like Frankenstein's Monster was told he didn't get the part!!
I love the artwork on both of those games.
Green, white and black Universal Monster pint glass in Walmart for $5. Also a haunted radio toy for $20.
I haven't had any luck with the wal-mart glasses this time around.
Found two glasses yesterday

Ordered this one because I have an impulse control problem. It's a push your luck dice game where the dice glow in the dark

and have little ghost faces on them, and the box turns into a haunted house dice tower.

Got these 2 "bag clips" on eBay. They are those dang "blind bag" things, but the eBay seller opened them. I bought the color version of the one some time ago.

Thanks man!! I have been after this figure for years. The box would have been nice, but i couldn't pass it up.
There is supposed to be a Salem's Lot reboot in the works. I think it's supposed to be released next year sometime.
Fingers crossed!!
Can anyone tell me where these figures are from ? (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221004/5eff5f99faffc2ba559480ed83c4e640.jpg)

Maybe a board game?
I think they are from the "Bucket of Monsters" - a large group little guys that came in two shades of grey.
http://www.universalmonsterarmy.com/forum/index.php?topic=29425.msg487313#msg487313
They came in light grey and dark grey.
BTW Is that like the fastest Mummy, ever!

That was a fun tube of monsters! If I got trick or treaters I would have gotten one to give out the figs for Halloween. I wish we'd get Trick or Treaters. I'd go nuts with the goodies.

We got one of these for my daughter for Xmas last year. And even though she wanted the doll she ended up being too freaked out by it so he proudly lives in my collection room now. ;D
These were waiting for me in the mail when I got home: "Trick or Treat" Halloween glasses by https://atomicdrinkware.com/ (https://atomicdrinkware.com/)
It took 3 sold out restocks before I was able to finally catch a set!
They have even more Halloween designs in stock, in Collins and rocks glass sizes. Even better that they're a small business out of my home town. On their social media they post videos of them hand screen printing and baking each batch of glasses! Definitely recommend checking them out for spooky glassware!

Way cool glass ware
We got the glow Franks in at work. Still haven't seen them in Target. Finishing my set! Well, for now, anyway.
Had a big stack of the early Hellboy Novels come in at work. Couldn't remember what I had, so I bought em all. Probably got a dupe or two, but I got at least 5 I didn't have. I was hoping they might have the monsters novels too, but no dice.
Posted about in other threads.
Super 7 Dark Green Creature mask.
S7 AHI thin glow Creature.
S7 Visible Creature kit.
Mold-A-Rama Creature.
My nephew went to Universal City Walk yesterday, and got one of the Lil' Boo sippers for my brother as a present with his own birthday money. I'm very proud of him. And apparently these things are difficult to get ahold of.

When I log in it says 'purchased 5 times' -- I DO get a lot of trick or treaters (between 100-200) and I make goodie bags. Candy, monster toy, trading card, I think I have more fun than the kids who get them do.
I wish I got trick or treaters. We take my nephew out now, so no one's home, but I always leave a bucket of goodies out for them. Last year I counted them beforehand, and zero were taken. Total bummer. There's an elementary school in my neighborhood and everything.

I know, he only makes small batches of art and they sell out in minutes.
He posts on the dreaded Facebook the date and time a new release is going to happen.
Usually about every 3-4 months. I scored this set of 4 on ebay.
He sells at a lot of horror conventions as well.

Another one for the monster game shelf, just in time for Halloween! I'm very intrigued by this one. I'm not expecting much from it thematically, as it's a trick taking card game, like hearts. The idea is that you're all executives, vying for stature with petty one upsmanship with things like business cards, and getting into Dorsia (appropriately one of the highest cards). Killing people is something you do to get yourself ahead. It's about feeding your ego and bashing it against other people's. I hope it's good!

One last one for the monster game shelf in time for Halloween. Nightmare Productions! This is a horror movie retheme of a game previously known as Dream Factory, Hollywood Blockbuster, or Traumfabrik. It's an auction game, originally featuring actual golden age of Hollywood personalities, where your trying to put together the best production possible by bidding for talent. Directors, stars, effects, the score, cinematography. You want to put together the best movie you can without breaking the bank. Trick or Treats reskin is all about the spooky stuff.
The art didn't really end up being what I wanted, but I'm still very excited about this one. Had a whole lot of stuff come in one after the other, so I'm pretty tapped right now for fun stuff. I still need to get my NECA mummy accessory set!
I also got my nephew the new Five Nights at Freddie's board game as a Halloween present. Hoping he likes it. Trying to get him away from YouTube more.
How many horror themed games do you have, Lazarus?
Over 60 at the moment. I started focusing on them more around when Horrified came out because there was a bunch around that time that really appealed to me. There's been so many good ones lately, and I enjoy hunting for the older stuff. I still get other things, but I like the monster and horror games the best. I post them here because you all are always so on top of everything else, and I never find good old stuff in my area, so it's a niche thing that I can contribute.
Unfortunately no. Im hesitant about buying that stuff online, and I never find vintage horror games when I go hunting at thrift stores and antique malls. I have some old stuff, but it's things like my 1960s edition of Acquire or an old copy of Masterpiece. One day I hope to get a set of Monster Old Maid or something like that, but not yet.

And the "Creature Features" game. And, not to mention, the HG of monster games by Hasbro.
Is that the Mystery Game series? I'd love them, but doubt I'll get that lucky.

Nor I! A really nice Creature game just sold, but way past the limits of my purse! :(
Ish Toys had a sale recently, so i pulled the trigger on this "Pugloo from Planet P" vinyl figure.
It was sculpted by the Kreature Kid, Adam Dougherty. Limited Edition of 500.

Good score
Not exactly monster related but bought a tiny tv toy of Star Trek. I own the 60's Batman version. The Star Trek one has iconic quotes from various classic episodes.

Yes that is the new toy I have. I believe the Star Trek version is harder to find than the others. I also think in general the tiny tv toys haven't been selling well. I have seen Batman and the other versions in the clearance section.
Walmart had those mini television sets last year and then later on clearance
Jada Bela showed up.

I finally set up the centre section of a second hand display cabinet with my ghost toy collection. My vintage Hasbro "Kooky Spookys" luminous finger puppets, several customs (based on Patti Peticolas' unused designs) and other toy ghosts.

There's a darker grey one on eBay. I saw a photo of a GITD one. Not sure how the colors are chosen.

That's boss! I love his card art for the Super7 figures.
My buddy bought out the stock from a toy museum and I got the AHI Frankenstein and the Mego Mummy.
They are in perfect condition.

So far, my toy museum haul has been the 12 inch Hasbro Son of Dracula and Invisible man, the two 8 inch MASH dolls Hawkeye and Hotlips, and the AHI Frank and Mego Mummy. I will be looking at the rest of the haul soon, and May get Oddjob from Goldfinger (Gilbert) figure in box as well.

Looks like Abe Lincoln in a fur coat. ;D
Been a rough start to the year, but I'm getting back on the horse. Ive been a little behind on my universal stuff, so I picked up the TMNT Van Helsing Splinter, catching me up on my turtles crossover for the time being, and I got the Mummy Accessory set and Dracula. Still need the Frank Accessories and Invisible Man, but I though Bela might be the faster seller. I'll get the others in a few weeks. Catching up feels good.
Got a nice double feature in my figure collection today

Really hoping for him in the robe. Did the make him short?
Yeah particularly against his two previous incarnations from Sideshow and Diamond Select.
On the other hand, seeing him standing up alongside actors like Humphrey Bogart, (Casablanca) Basil Rathbone (Adventures of Robin Hood) and Lon Chaney Jr. (the Wolf Man) he doesn't strike me as being that tall.
In any case, I went to my local Target (Rt. 9 Howell, NJ)
And picked up the April O'Neil as Bride of Frankenstein

I think he should be short. If I remember correctly Chaney was a decent bit larger than him in the Wolf-Man.

I splurged a bit and bought myself a present for my monster game collection. There aren't a lot of game options for the Phantom, and this looked like the most fun. Unfortunately it's been out of print for a while, so I spent more than retail to get my copy. It's based on a game called Mr. Jack, which is a 1 v 1 asymmetrical game with one player in the role of Jack the Ripper and the other a detective trying to discover his identity. Once I have it in my hands I'll post more pictures in the games thread that I keep meaning to revive. Now I need a decent game about a Mummy or the Hunchback!

"Indiana Jones: Vampire Hunter" ;D
Be very careful with Drac. Those have weak arm joints.
I love that Drac set. I picked up that and the Wolfman set a few years back from the McFarlane booth at Chiller Theatre. They really made some amazing original stuff back in the day. They paved the way for a lot of the toy makers today.
Got my NECA Invisible Man. Just need the Frank Accessory set. Then I either talk myself into starting the black and white versions, or start getting second copies so I can keep one in the box.
Now that I have the NECA Dracula, I decided it was time to pull the trigger on Splinter Van Helsing!

I just got another awesome cut wood head from Epyon5.
This time it's a "Gruesome Glenn" that measures 11 x 14 inches.

My AHI "Bend 'Em" came today. :)

Too afraid the rubber would crack, or a wire would break.
He looks good just the way he is.
Picked up the Super7 FrankenSnoopy at a Wal-Mart today. I don't really care about Peanuts, but it was a fun little release and I couldn't resist.
Got one of these Retro-A-Go-Go 19" 3D plaques to go with my Uncle Gilbert 19" plaque and their 16" metal sign that looks kinda like the Ben Cooper Creature mask. Got a narrow piece of wall that they will stack nicely on. They have it in 2 other colors, but I ain't got that much room.

Finally found the Frankenstein accessory set at Target!
(Rt. 9, Manalapan, NJ)
They had a bunch of them as well as a couple of Mummy Accessory sets as well.

Someone on the NECA collectors Facebook page suggested they be used for positioning the table right or left of center. It occurred to me then that if one bought multiple sets then you could set up twin beds side by side for Monster and Monstress Frankenstein.
Or some other Mad science!
Wow, that set looks great! And I guess Targets farther up north in NJ get more than we do down here at the shore. My store hardly gets anything anymore.
LOVE the artwork on the box
And today they were all but sold out! (I think there was one left and while I was tempted to pick it up, something else caught my eye!

Expensive week. Got my Frankenstein and Dracula NECA accessory sets, which gets me current on the color monster releases until Bride or Phantom or the TMNT Invisible Man hits, which is nice.
Trying to order the new batch of Trick or Treat Studios preorders, including the Texas Chainsaw Massacre minis, but the website errored out and now I have to wait for customer service to help me with that. I got a couple more horror board games for the collection, including Don't Get Stabbed, Cryptid Cafe, Oh My Brain, and Ghosts Love Candy Too. I've been sort of down lately, so the new stuff endorphins are certainly welcome.
A couple more pins. (Like I ain't got enough of these things!)
The one on the cardboard backer originally come in one of those "LootCrate" crates.

Just scored a Zacherley Tiki Mug from Sassy's Satellite. This was a Chiller Theatre exclusive from 2011.
Only 400 were produced. I think they have two more available if anyone is interested.

My Carfax Abbey Dracula arrived while I'm a work so I'll post pictures of it alongside my other NECA Universal Monsters later.

"I long to go through the crowded streets of your mighty London, to be in the midst of the whirl and rush of humanity, to share its life, its change, its death, and all that makes it what it is."
From the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker
"Pardon me, I could not help overhearing your name. Might I inquire, if you are the Doctor Seward, whose Sanitarium is at Whitby?....I am Count Dracula. I have just leased Carfax Abbey, and understand that it adjoins your grounds.....I shall do very little repairing. It reminds me of the broken Battlements of my own castle in Transylvania....to die, to be really dead, that must be glorious! There are far worse things awaiting man than death!"
From the 1931 film by Tod Browning starring Bela Lugosi
have to say, my Universal Monsters and Back to the Future shelves are looking pretty good! (Still gotta get Griff tho!)

Now I'm thinking about the idea that we get a Remco card back salute figure with glow in the Dark figures.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52734953184_d144f7ddc0_3k.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2om1qjL)Untitled (https://flic.kr/p/2om1qjL) by Michael Kramer (https://www.flickr.com/photos/156680615(*at*)N04/), on Flickr
At first, I thought that the Carfax Abbey body would be the preferred option, but now after looking closer I have to go with the Transylvanian model since the original Remco mini monster has the medallion. That being the case, it might not be a bad idea to make the medallion ribbon white so it's closer to the smaller figure.
As far as the head goes, I'm inclined to say we should have him come with the grimacing head as it matches the Remco head almost perfectly (just add the blood dribbles and it's perfect!
Finally, the cape. Well, we've had a plain black cape with the Transylvanian figure and the silver lined Carfax Abbey version.
It seems only fair that IF we ever get the GID figure, he should come with a red lining cape.
Got myself a new game based on very little information called Halloween Never Ends. Wasn't expecting much, but boy, was it still a disappointing purchase. Hardest I've struck out on a blind but in a long time. Even The Shining game was better than this. Thankfully I have a copy of another game called Armata Strigoi coming that has positive buzz and looks like a great time. That should cancel it out.
Finally got that last Spook Stories Creature card! Great looking card for what seemed like a good price. (Though I ain't no expart on setch things.)

One for the monster game shelf. This is a cooperative game, where a group of werewolves storm a vampires castle. As the game progresses, the castle starts to crumble and the werewolves need to kill the vampire and make their escape. Its apparently based on a album by a band called Powerwolf, who I am unfamiliar with. I also got the expansion, which adds a Cobra demon and minis for maidens that the werewolves have to rescue before they get turned into succubi.
I needed some werewolf representation in the collection, and most of the games are party games with hidden roles, which I'm not fond of and usually require more people than I typically play with.
I scored this awesome vampire doll recently. It is a one of a kind that was made by Ed Repka
for a toy show at MF Gallery in NYC back in 2007. It's 11 inches tall.

New game for the horror game shelf! Got my copy of this yesterday. The collectors edition is more expensive, but it comes with about 4x the content and I like having the minis over the cardboard tokens. More killers, more survivors, and an extra pair of maps to play on. The minis are nice, and there's a lot of them. None of the licensed killers, but that was to be expected. There's plenty of the original design ones, and a good chunk of those are thinly veiled knockoffs anyhow.

I'm pretty happy with it, though I need more room for it. And there's always more coming out. I wish I could afford more vintage stuff, but those opportunities haven't really come my way.
Not really my kinda Creature, but it's licensed and I finally decided I'd buy one if the package was near perfect and it didn't cost over 30 bucks. Well, that just happened.

Inexplicably, no. Maybe they'll make one but these are based on the movies and they've already done all the Turtles so I can't imagine how they'd do it at this point.

Just as well, 'cause I'm not really a fan of such hybrids. I'll buy 'em, if they're licensed, but I'd just as soon they don't make them.
They ARE official Universal Monster crossover figures, like the originals. Raphael as Frankenstein, Leonardo as the Hunchback (a Fritz to go with the Raph, due to their adversarial natures), Michelangelo as the Mummy, April as the Bride, Splinter as Van Helsing, Donatello as the Invisible Man, and Casey Jones as the Phantom. They've teased a Shredder, probably as a Dracula to go with Splinter, but we haven't seen him yet, or anything after. So I dunno if a second wave will happen like with the originals, or not. But not doing a Creature definitely seems like leaving money on the table.

Me neither. Id rather they focus on the actual monsters.
I forgot to report that 2 weeks back I went to Universal Studios for the first time since I was a little kid and they still had all the big classic rides. I wasn't expecting much with the Epic Universe park under construction and the park seemingly in a kind of transitional period, but I was surprised how many dead spots there were in the park where nothing was really going on. I was also sad to see Bruce moved and almost hidden from view off to the side near the more prominent Harry Potter entrance. I did get to see Beetlejuice and the Blues Brothers, though. They have a great Beetlejuice right now.
I got a Bates Motel mug that I really like, it's one of those smaller, thicker mugs you might get at a diner. I also got a silver JAWS mold a rama in citywalk, but beware, apparently the thing has a molding issue and mine had a massive hole in the back. I went to ask the clerk if I could maybe have another go and she had a whole cabinet of the things to swap with people, so it's a known issue. The other mold a rama was the back to the future clock tower, which was cool, but the shark having a problem kind of put me off. If it had been the psycho house or a Frankenstein or Kong, I probably still would have gone for it.

New monster game came in! Pre-order came at the perfect time. I'd just gotten caught up on the show a few days ago.
There's Two scenarios, one based on season one, where you take on the Demogorgon, or season 2, where you face a pack of Demodogs. You can play as Lucas, Mike, Dustin, Hopper, Nancy, or Joyce. Eleven is a resource anyone can use through cards, but she's playable through a print and play module.
The minis are nice and the production quality is good. Looking forward to giving it a go.

I had lost the hat that belonged to my Diamond select Phantom so I gave him the hat from This latest release, and it fit's like a charm!
Finally, here he is giving singing lessons to the Bride of Frankenstein....

Was very thankful to be able to purchase this Frankenstein's monster figure in Glenn Strange's likeness from a kind seller. To say I'm impressed by this "Saturday Afternoon Monster" by Adam Chiet would be an understatement. Here he is standing tall next the Karloff print by artist JD Knight and a USPS monster pin & magnet shadow box that I made a few years ago.

I actually wasn't familiar with him until I saw this guy on eBay. I tried to search online and found a Facebook page & a website for the artist. On the FB page it looked like he was still making detailed monster figures, at least as of a couple years ago. I hope he is out there still creating & finding happiness in the joy he brings to others.

Well, this came out of nowhere. Got mine today from fun.com. doesn't appear to be available elsewhere just yet. One more for the spooky game shelf.
It's inexpensive, the minis for Leatherface, the Old Man, and the Hitchhiker are big and chunky, the dice are cool, and the art is good. I look forward to playing it. I might have to replace my copy later, as my box was kind of bashed up, but it'll do for now.
Because I am a sick person, here's my latest 2 monster games.
(https://thousandyearoldvampire.com/cdn/shop/products/TYOVCover_900x.jpg?v=1609637742)
This one is an odd one, even for me. It's a solo Role Playing Game, which is more of a writing exercise than anything. You follow the prompts and tell the story of your character throughout their centuries long life. Your character will forget things over the long years, and may pick up recurring foes and things like that. I never really play RPGs, but I love reading the books for this sort of thing. And it's a pretty little hardcover, so that's always nice.

Game #2 is a lot more straightforward! Everyone gets to play as a grim reaper! There's a deck of something like 70+ Reapers, of which you get to use only a few in a game, all with unique powers and themes. You move your reaper around the board, looking to reap souls for your harvest. First reaper to 9 souls wins. I got the deluxe edition because it had an option for a 5th player, but the playing piece was glow in the dark, and I'm a complete sucker for that kind of thing.

Picked up a NECA Phantom and Bride today. Current again! At least until Creature and that Big Bride of Frankenstein set hit.
God, they're beautiful. Elsa with that rust red hair really pops.
My fragile self control largely was able to resist Prime Day sales, but I did get one more monster game:
(https://cf.geekdo-images.com/gu_tMYtTxTk7_ShWn3qSxw__imagepage/img/2sdtFgsK9baOh0kd47_eNideyiA=/fit-in/900x600/filters:no_upscale():strip_icc()/pic6440507.png)
This is a little 2 Player game that is a tug of war between Dr. Jekyll and his Hyde alter ego for control of his body. One person plays Jekyll and the other Hyde. The game consists of a board, a few tokens, a small deck of cards, and a surprisingly chunky metal pawn to mark where his mind is at on said board, depicting Jekyll on one side and Hyde on the other. I imagine the metal pawn is why the game retails for $22 normally. I got it for about 12, so I leapt at the chance.
Look at this art. How could I possibly resist this?
(https://cf.geekdo-images.com/3yO6m1k71MhZ-HbAryXAmA__imagepage/img/Flj9UNITOaT2B9Yrp1vWgPW_AqE=/fit-in/900x600/filters:no_upscale():strip_icc()/pic6616130.jpg)
I'm only human. I didn't have any Jekyll representation in the collection beyond his being in the Cobble & Fog Unmatched set, so I'm happy to rectify that.
Got this cute "mini me" version of the Rubie's Grave Walker. About 12" elbow to elbow. Hollow soft vinyl. You can also hang it on the wall. No markings, but probably made in China.

Am I imagining a wolf man one? I could have sworn there was at least 2 different ones they did.

Here is a listing for the Creature. He has a hand in some of the pictures, showing how small they are.

But his main/top pic shows the Rubie's and says it's 32" wide. That's not the worst one, though. Another guy has 1/2 doz pics of the Rubie's and one of the little one (at the bottom). I can't tell if these guys are trying to be deceptive, or they just don't know the difference.

I think they're being deceptive. Y use pictures of something that's not of the item
Here was Frankenstein and Dracula. I think they made freddy Krueger as well. These came out I wanna say 2015?? Maybe 10 years ago jeez time flys. They probably don't make the mini ones of them. They were called grave walkers as well

Yeah, the 1st photo of the larger, better one is the catnip to attract people to buy it.
The Funkoverse Universal Monsters set is 10 bucks on Amazon, so I finally pulled the trigger on it. Also ordered the new Scream Board Game!
I wonder if there's a chance I'll get a chase?
Got my games a day early. That's nice.

This is a quick little card based game that uses an app. I don't like app games usually, but they got the Ghostface voice actor to do this one and it was not expensive, so I'll allow it.
Also, my NECA Glow Creature came in today! He's hideously gorgeous. So today was a day full of goodies!

Apparently, there were UM plush toys released in conjunction with the 1990s "Monster Bash" pinball machine. Don't know whether, or not, I've seen any of the others.
Looked at the Spirit Halloween store online, and they have a few new things. Mainly Frankenstein stuff. Gonna try to go to one by me tomorrow and pick up this Frankenstein doormat that looks pretty cool (https://www.spirithalloween.com/product/frankenstein-doormat-universal-monsters/248670.uts (https://www.spirithalloween.com/product/frankenstein-doormat-universal-monsters/248670.uts)).

No, they designed the Wrestling Monsters. The CVS distributed stuffed dolls were done under license through Sideshow, perhaps as "Stuffins"? I just don't remember any more. Perhaps the tag on the one you're soon to receive will shed some light.

I saw the pin/patch set at Spirit today, but not the tins. It's possible that I missed them though. I plan on going to a different one by me this week (didn't see the Frankenstein doormat), so I'll look there as well.
I'm hoping next year we see more actual Universal Monsters decorations on shelves. Seeing all the stuff for Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, Trick r Treat, and the various slasher movies, it would be nice if the Universal Monsters had more of a presence. That said, the store windows facing the street featured a handful of images of Halloween costumes, one of which appeared to be a Universal Frankenstein. So that was nice to see.

If they do a supplemental set with Frank vs Wolf Man, I will 100% buy it. It's hard to tell how well funkos games do, though. It seems like they all get clearances at some point.
I love Creature ephemera! Just bought this on eBay. Saw a pic of one 20 yrs ago, but have never seen one for sale, anywhere. I normally don't buy things in this condition, but I didn't think I'd ever see another one. And it only cost $4.

Mine are the ones where his arms are outstretched on the front and it says 3D Video on the arms. I found a box in our storage at work that had a bunch of pairs of 3D glasses in it, but those were the best. We probably had like 8 pristine pairs. I took one and we sold the rest. I remember being happy to find the generic glasses because we had a bunch of 3D comics that didn't have them, and this meant they'd sell a lot easier, even if they didn't have the original sets.

Not a monster toy but did get the new remake of Super Joe.
A man who is now in jail with many charges broke into my bedroom without permission through the ceiling while I was at work
I thought my collectibles would be trashed but nothing was damaged. I believe he hit the floor. The US Marshalls arrested him in my apartment after a long standoff. The apartment next to mine was trashed.

He tried. There is a small space between the thin sheet rock and wooden floor above. He broken the sheet rock next door and crawled up into the ceiling and over into my apartment.
Thank you all for your support. I'm glad no one was injured and my things are undamaged. You understand how much we enjoy our hobby. We take great care in keeping our collectibles in good condition.
If interested I was interviewed on the local news website the Cortland Voice. I live in Cortland NY. They posted pics of the hole in the article.

Just read the article & watched the video. Crazy big hole in the ceiling! Very thankful you weren't there when he crashed through, especially since he had a gun. Also very happy that none of your collection or other areas in your apartment were damaged. Stay safe & hope the ceiling gets fixed soon!

Just got my Nosferatu & Metaluna Mutant Ultimates from S7 today. Box was unscathed and figures/boxes wrapped in plastic.
I really dig the MM!
Here is the tag for the red pants plush. Not much besides a maker and date. Other side is just UM c. info. Back of big UM tag doesn't have any additional interesting info other than "Made in China". About 12" to 13" tall.

Check the curl on those. mine say "c. 1970 Universal Pictures". They may have made a small set with the art from the large buttons. Bootleg buttons don't usually have copyright info on them.
No markings at all, but for the size they are well made.

Yes, and 5 more just like it.
It is the set that sold at Heritage auctions in 2020, and the guy wanted to keep one for his friend. I can only find a little bit about these but they are signed by the artist and Ackerman, and Forry mixed in some makeup in with the ink used to make them. I needed these to go to some great forever homes, and the fact this is the anniversary of his death pushed me to buy them all.
I have number 395, 396, 397, 398, 399, and 400

They're part of the playset, Mike.
Mcfarlane has done a few playsets for their '66 range. The villain hideout, the batcave, and the library. I don't like McFarlane, but they're doing cool stuff for this line.

They are included in the McFarlane Toys "Wayne Manor Library" playset. (Note that I later painted the Batpoles gold.)
There were similar accessories to go with Mattel's figures of the same scale.

Good deal! Do you know if it works, or are you just using it for a display piece?
I don't know if I trust the creatures to change back after all these years, so I will plug it in and see if any need to "complete" the change. After years of seeing this in pictures and youtube videos, I knew exactly what it was when I saw it. I will get the creatures out tomorrow and look them over and get a count.

Wow Mike- That collection is awesome! I had no idea there had been so many produced over the years! I think my favorite is the guy on the far right that is the tallest. I am really drawn to the blue guy too though.
I was just thinking it would be cool to get a printed black lagoon background and have them all staged in front of it on a shelf or a desk so it looks like they're hanging out in the lagoon together. A Creature Convention if you will. 💚

I saw a pic of the box from the B&W Neca Creature figure and I believe it had a blue tone on the front. If you get / have that one, it might be fun to stage the blue plush Creature next to it.

WOW first time ever seeing the mummy game
The art for those mystery games rules. I wish I could afford those.
I bought a little ghost mug from Walgreens that I liked the other day. And my NECA Lootcrate came. The box looked like it got sat on, but my BK Frank appears to have survived none the worse for wear. I also really like the postcards in the crate, and the shirt is fun enough.
I also got a few games, but I had some missing parts, so I'm gonna hold off on showing them until I have that resolved.

That certainly didn't hurt my desire to own a copy.
My candy pails came in while I was at work! They're lovely. I do think it's odd they blacked out Frank's eyes while Creature got his filled in.
But I'm happy to have them. Looking forward to my Halloween lll ones. I had to order them elsewhere because I hesitated.

Well, I just looked and I got my email today, the day after it showed. So I'd say don't count on getting tracking before you get the parcel.
Well, I broke down and paid the ransom for one of those NECA "glow" Creatures. Got the B/W Ultimate Creature the other day, too.

Why do all the boxes say "CFTBL", except the glow one that says "Universal Monsters"?

Well, he was in the original Don Post calendar, even if they didn't release the actual mask until later. He also appears, somewhat mysteriously, on the Castle film box art for the 8mm release for Creature from the Black Lagoon, as well as the "War of the Planets" Castle film re-titled release of This Island Earth. But you're right, it was a long time before they came out with any figures or models based on him.

Just won a long sought after '90s Creature. It's the large (33") Rubie's Halloween walkway decoration. Haven't seen one in a least a decade! Had to buy a "lot" to get it. Also got the WM, Drac and Frank.

Those full-figure cutouts are hard to find. The Creature has to be the hardest.

That's a beautiful display set up.
I am so incredibly jealous. I had the silver screen edition of that bust (#12/100) years back and was forced to sell it. Many pieces have passed through my collection over the years and that was my biggest collecting regret ever.
I sold my Sideshow 1:1 busts off when they abruptly lost the Universal license. Frankenstein and the Creature were the only two I really regret selling off. Dracula I gave to my dad, The Ardeth paid my mortgage for 5 months,lol.
Got the Trick r Treat and Halloween Jack o lantern sculpted mugs from Spirit. The Halloween one has the face just printed which is kind of a bummer, but whatever.
Also got my light up Halloween pumpkin (from the beginning credits. To my knowledge they didn't do the other one.) It's smaller than I thought it would be, but it's still pretty nice. I kind of wish I'd gotten the ones from 2 and 6 to go with it. I think only the 2018 one is still available now.
Oh! I also got my hologram stickers for the Shout Factory sale (Brainscan, Critters, The Town that Dreaded Sundown). Everyone gets the same ones, or you could pick a pin set that I had a hard time passing on. I spent a truly appalling amount on movies this week. But I'm gonna be busy with new stuff for aaaaaages. I'll post that haul when it comes in.

I got some trick or treat studios stuff from Big Bad Toy Store that had sold out on their site. The wall decor (classic cut out decorations) from night of the living dead, childs play, and Chucky. I also got the voodoo knife from childs play 2 and the trick r treat jack o lantern for my brother.
The cutouts are freaking AWESOME. I got these because I wanted to see what they were like and they werent available from TOTS direct at the time. The characters are actually jointed (I thought they only looked like jointed characters based on the images) and the packages are actually kind of weighty, so the cardboard seems decent. And they're much bigger than I was expecting for the $10-$15 a set.
I need to get so many more now. Ughhhh. The UM ones are a must, but I want the Texas Chainsaw and Halloween ones because they have a jointed Myers and Leatherface, the trick r treat ones are killer.

That card is a bad repro. I think I still have one around here from the guy these originated from. He scanned his original Creech card and edited it for the other monsters. That's why all the repro cards have a line by the copyright.

Hopefully, I would have read the description if I was going to place a bid.
There are only a few, if that, known carded Creech jigglers. Had it been real it would have been $$$. People would have been crawling out of the woodwork to bid.

YIKES.
Went and picked up some comics this week. Got my Dracula #1 and a blank sketch cover too. Looking forward to giving it a read.
Picked up the new UM 16 month calendar the other day.
Also went to a Spirit and picked up a Creepshow shirt, a Killer Klowns from Outer Space Cotton Candy Gun, a Freddy mug, and a little Halloween pin set.
I'm sad Halloween is over, but I'm done spending for a bit unless another NECA UM toy hits.
Got my order of wall decorations from Trick or Treat Studios. I placed it a while ago, but they were pretty clear that things would likely not ship until after Halloween, which was fine. I went a little crazy. I got the Wall Decor sets for:
Halloween
Halloween lll
Halloween 4 (which is incredibly nice. So nice the movie doesn't deserve it, frankly)
Creepshow
American Werewolf in London
Return of the Living Dead
Trick r' Treat (both sets)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Universal Monsters (both sets)
My walls will be covered in horror movie goodness next year. These are all magnificent sets. Huge and colorful cutouts in all of them. And they're pretty affordable unless you're me and you order way too many.
Trick or Treat Studios has delightful decorations, I'm sure your place is gonna be awesome next Halloween. :D I impulse bought the set of Universal Studios wall decorations because the "last chance" tag got me a little nervous (I guess it did its job). Still waiting for them to come in since I did it after Halloween, but in the meantime, I guess I'll have to figure out where to put them in my room.
I think you'll be pleased. I bought a couple sets a while ago (Chucky sets, Night of the Living Dead) also because the licenses had ceased and they were sold out, and was impressed and just how large they were. Licensed stuff has gotten so silly I was expecting them to be half the size they are, similar to the Disney Villains cutouts I got at Party City this year.
I'm a little sad that the portrait set didn't have another release to give us the other monsters, but the license getting pulled might have had something to do with us not seeing more. I was hoping they'd do some jointed figures or something.
I've also seen a Day of the Dead set in the catalogue that looks lovely but I'm not sure it was ever actually sold.
Some kickstartered games came in last week! Finally got around to checking them for completion.
(https://restorationgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/UMA-BoxTop-Mockup-transparent-1024x927.png)
I posted other Unmatched sets previously (Cobble and Fog and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and while this one doesn't have player characters that really fit our beloved monster theme (Comic character Jill Trent: Science Sleuth, folk hero Annie Christmas, a fictionalized Nikoka Tesla with crazy coil weapons, and Japanese pulp character The Golden Bat), what it DOES have is a new Boss and minion mode. It introduces cooperative play against a big bad guy that plays itself.
(https://restorationgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/UM-Adv_FlyingSaucer-scaled.jpg)(https://restorationgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/UM-Adv_Mothman-scaled.jpg)
The bosses in this set are Martian Invaders and the Moth Man! But that's not all. The bosses also bring a minion to the game, which unfortunately is not represented by a mini. Mothman adds a few other Cryptids, including the Swamp Ape, Jersey Devil, and Loveland Frog. But where it gets really exciting is the Martians minions. Horrors of a more science fiction persuasion: The Blob(!!!), The Ant Queen (think THEM!) and The Tarantula!
I have to admit, I was kind of sad that there wasn't an awesome Blob mini. But the fact that he's even in there is pretty cool.
I just ordered a special monster toy. I seldom purchase toys anymore and rarely use ebay but today I made an exception. I saw this rare toy on YouTube recently and decided I had to have it. It's a limited edition theater exclusive blue Godzilla Minus One figure. I think it's awesome. I bought it from a seller in Japan.

True. I'm not one to get excited over limited edition collectibles. I think they are usually too expensive and not worth what they cost. This time I made an exception. I think the Godzilla figure is unique and interesting. I thought it was reasonable priced given it's scarcity.
I just got this "Mini-Me" version of the Creature and decided to repaint it. I realize that this product may have ticked off many an unsuspecting buyer, who thought that they were getting the full-sized version. While the initial paint job wasn't terrible; I thought that it could use just a bit more color and sheen. See before & after. :)

They should have made one for how he looked in each of the three movies!
Today I received my theater exclusive Godzilla Minus One figure from Japan. It took about 2 weeks for it to arrive. I'm pleased with it. It looks great next to a bright light. The figure is light blue and translucent with silver sparkles. The edge of the back spines are slightly purple. The tag on the figure is purple. He has a long tail. The body and legs are bulky. It's unique and it arrived in perfect condition. It's a Bandai figure. Fun and interesting. I had to sign for it when I picked it up at the post office.
I also received my Three Stooges DVD box set.
On the tag on the figure is a small sticker of the theater chain it was sold in. Aeon Cinema.
Saved up all my pennies and just ordered the S7 Super Cyborg showin' his guts Creature. Says it will be out in Dec. :)
Also just ordered the LootCrate giant BK Creature. I chose the 1 crate plan. Anybody familiar with these things, let me know how to avoid getting any other ones.
Just log in once a week and check your account to check and make sure they don't try to send another, and after they take payment and ship, log in and remove the card you used.
Thanks, JP! :)
They already took my money. I don't suppose they'll ship till late Jan.
Just be sure to cancel before they charge for the next one and you should be okay.
I'm really regretting not getting two subs for these. I'm going to want to open a set. And I know they come in a resealable deal but I still don't wanna mess with them.
I got the Super 7 Ultimates Moonwatcher from 2001: A Space Odyssey this week. BBTS had an Ultimates sale. I primarily bought him because he comes with the Monolith (which is appropriately massive), but I'm glad he comes with it instead of one of the Space Suits.

How will I know when the next one is coming? If I cancel now, will I screw up the Creature deal? They already took the money, so they shouldn't need my card anymore.
The "2001" stuff sounds cool! :)
I despise Funko but can't resist Toxie...

most of it looks unused. The cardboard white boxes look perfect. I might be missing the snakes but I'll use pipecleaners if so. Easy fix there.

I checked my local Ollie's and scored a Super7 Hellboy comic 3 pack. That was a nice surprise. They had the one with Horned Hellboy, Kroenen, and the Kriegaffe. Unfortunately not the other one but that's okay.
First new horror thing I've seen there in a while that I was interested in.

Ollies is like Big Lots was 20 years ago. Outlet stuff that is discounted. I found a bunch of $100 DnD games there for $10 and bought a bunch to give out as Christmas gifts.

It's luck of the draw but sometimes you get lucky. I get marvel legends and star wars guys I like from them sometimes, and the occasional game comes in that appeals to me. But I've had many a visit where I didn't get anything. Ya never know.

I'm seeing reports of some of the Jada monsters hitting Ross. Might be able to score one for 9 bucks if you're lucky!
Is Jada still going to a Mummy figure?

Got my Super 7 "Super Cyborg" in the mail today! :)

It looks better than the publicity photos of it. Could other Universal monsters be coming? A Frankenstein monster might be pretty cool.
Checked at a local Ross in hopes of finding the Jada Creature and Invisible Man, only found a Frankenstein. For 10 bucks I went ahead and got him; gonna check the few other Ross stores in my area in hopes of finding the two I wanted.
Checked two more Ross stores. Found nothing at one and a Bride at the other....dammit, I want a Creature and Invisible Man....but of course I bought the Bride.
My BK Dracula loot crate came. Delighted to have him and still annoyed with myself for not subscribing for second copies so I can have loose ones. These figures delight me.
And my brother found me a nice TMNT Creature from the Black Lagoon, so I'm current again until Nosferatu starts hitting around here.

I got mine a few days ago from BBTS. Still peeved they doubled up on characters, and used Leo twice, but it is very cool.
Since they're doing two Raph's and two Leo's, I hope they do a different Donnie and Mikey figures too. Like Dracula for Donnie and maybe Jekyll/Hyde or Metaluna Mutant for Mikey.
The original line did double up also across the two waves they did, so it doesn't bother me really. I still want that Dracula Shredder though.
Finally found one of the Frankenstein & Bride Valentine's Day shirts at Wal-Mart. I thought it was a black shirt but it's really more of a charcoal. I thought I was gonna have to settle for the Chucky & Tiffany one (which I did get also. They're going very hard on Chucky merch for Valentine's this year)

I love the Chucky merch they're doing. Grabbed a Chucky mug and the Chuck/Tiff bouquet for my daughter's Vday gift. Didn't see any shirts though, I'll have to check again.
Look in the men's/womens seasonal section. It's a black shirt. No idea if it's offered in a women's shirt or if it's just a unisex one.
I made this for fun.

Got my NECA Nosferatu today. Happy to have him in the collection.
Also bought a Creature from the Black Lagoon GeekiTiki that had been calling to me. I'm not generally into those, but Creature is Creature. I might get a Frank at some point to go with him, or maybe the Tarman they just did from Return of the Living Dead.
I got my CD in today for this. Limited to just 50, there are only a few left.

Picked up the The Addams Family: an Evilution hardcover book the other day. Delighted to have it.
Finally found a Neca Phantom
In today's mail: NECA TMNT Creature and giant BK Creature, plus Hammer's "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb".
The original BK had a 4 pg. instructions pamphlet. The enlarged one just has the front art on card stock. I don't think the sticker is a sticker, either.
(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/1272/CGvnXG.jpg)
Got my BK Creature too! What a great surprise.
I also really like the Ben Cooper item. I'm not sure if it's a scarf or a table runner?
I was worried that it didn't ship in the box this time though. But thankfully he appears to have made it safe and sound.

Ah. It was kind of wide, so I wasn't sure. My cards for Creature, Frank, And Dracula are all kind of messed up. It's pretty flimsy. But the figures arrived in nice shape, which was really my only concern.
Got my copy of Universal Monsters Unchained!
Like everyone else, I'm not jazzed about the generic art for the monsters. But it seems to be inescapable, unfortunately. Something is better than nothing, and I'm always happy to add a new UM game to my collection.
Last weekend i went to the Toy Fest and i was able to find the Jakks Pacific Universal Monsters!! They are soo rare in my country and only saw them once in the last 15 years. Now i dint know if i should open them or leave them in box, the box is kinda damaged but it makes them looks nicely vintage.

I purchased a cartoon looking Godzilla bank. I showed it to a little kid in a stroller. He checked it out.
I was in Destiny mall in NY in a store called Larger Than Life Comics and Toys. They had lots of monster toys. They also have a full sized statue of the Predator on display.
One collectibles store in the mall had an elaborate Godzilla statue in the display window. It was $400. I didn't purchase.
The Chibi one? About 10-12" tall?

Yes it's the Chibi one. The store had several monster character banks in that style on the shelf.
I forgot to mention I also purchased a Reaction figure of Ellen Ripley in the white space suit and helmet from Alien.
Got a NECA shipment today. Ultimate John Carver from Thanksgiving and my TMNT Professor Perry 2 pack came.
Couldn't resist a David Warner action figure. Definitely couldn't resist 2 of them!
Carver looks good! Always happy to add a slasher to the shelf.
My Toony Terrors Carver came in the mail. I wanted to start that collection with the Tarman, but I can't find him anywhere. Should be fun anyway.

Picked up a Neca Tarman at Target
Just got Toony Terrors Jason, so that's me committing to a new line. I don't know if I'll get every single one, but I'm getting a bunch. Things like Wednesday or Ghouliana I'll probably skip. If they did the 90s or 60s Addams I'd go for those.
Got my Texas Chainsaw Massacre minis set also, after a year of waiting and several delays. They're not bad, but they could be better. They're too fine for the size they are. The moulds won't hold up long. Mine already have things like the arms being too thin. Modern mini manufacturing doesn't seem to have the engineering minds behind it that it used to, so this is a common thing these days.
And now my Halloween minis have arrived! Happy to have them.
Found a TMNT Raphael as the Wolfman at Target today, so I'm current until the London After Midnight figure hits. Always a nice feeling to get caught up.

Got a Chucky mug to go with my sculpted horror head mug collection. There was a not great one out last year but I was in a Spencer's and found a much nicer updated version. They also had Art the Clown, but Terrifier doesn't do anything for me so I skipped him.
Godzilla X Kong heat wave rc Godzilla. He's been stomping around in my apartment roaring. The rc control, which looks like Godzilla's foot, has four buttons. One makes him roar, one makes the spines light up pink. The lights are bright in the dark, mouth also lights up. His torso spins around. One button moves him forward and the other turns him left and right.

Quote from: John Pertwee on April 20, 2024, 08:36:45 AMMy latest gets are a tin King Kong sign and a Remco large Mummy figure. The arm movement is not working because the button isn't connected but the glowing head and hands make up for it.
Did you raise the arms so that they're pointing out in front of him? That's the only way to engage the button. Typically these stop working because the plastic band that runs down the arms has broken, not a push-button failure. Of course, that's 44 year old plastic. Great buy for the price, regardless!
Thank you. I'll have to try that.
Finally found a Toony Terrors Tarman. He might just now be hitting stores so keep an eye out for him if you want one!
I just received an autographed photo of Naomi Watts from King Kong. It's a closeup of her tied to the alter.
I recently got a 66 action figure Batmobile from McFarland toys and a autographed photo of Julie Newmar as Catwoman.
I have another King Kong collectible from 1976 on the way.
I decided to add this figure to my collection. The price for this figure just seems to keep going up. This one was $139.00 or best offer, got it for $127.00 + Free shipping. Now all I need is the glow Phantom of the Opera. (https://i.postimg.cc/rRt94gTF/20240426-152033.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/rRt94gTF)

I thought it was bad when I had to pay $69 (if I remember correctly).
No your correct, months back they were running $69.00 to $80.00, I'm really late to the game. Thats why I got it, because if NECA does not re-release it i'm sure the price will just get crazier. And knowing my luck now that I purchased one, it will be announced that it's going to be re-released, lol.

Are they known for doing that?
I read on reddit that they sometimes re-release con exclusives later down the road. This was course just a posting from that site and not from any official source. So I really don't know.

NECA "opens the vault" in a yearly event and will sell off "retired" items that are likely the overstock held back to replace damages, but there's never any guarantee on what they'll have nor at what price. Sign up to their mailing list (https://store.necaonline.com/pages/neca-vault) to stay in the know.
Today I received my set of four Burger Chef, coca cola, King Kong glasses from 1976. I love the artwork. The paint was bright and sharp too.
I'm still intrigued why some collectibles I think are nice and interesting to me are rather common and sold at a fair price and other items, which I don't have much interest in go for big money on the collector's market.

Burger Chef. There's a blast from the past! I remember getting the "Star Wars" posters in '77.

I missed out at the time since we didn't have a Burger Chef in my area. We didn't get a Burger King in my area until I was about ten.
I have seen Burger Chef commercials for the Star Wars posters and King Kong glasses on YouTube. The Kong glasses were free with a large meal or .59 purchased separately. Collect all four at participating Burger Chef restaurants.
I only have a few character glasses. Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Star Trek, some Pepsi Looney Toons, Casper, Superman, and a Universal Monster glass I picked up at Walmart a couple of years ago. If the graphics are nice I like them. It wasn't the same after things switched to plastic cups.

A YouTube channel called Retrodaze just posted a 12 min video on character glasses. They have been producing them for decades. One of the issues is there were complaints about the lead content used in the paint on the glasses. It's one reason why they were discontinued.
Last one I got at a fast food restaurant was a Spock glass for the JJ Abrams Trek movie at Burger King. It broke within a year.
Ordered some Freddy's Dead 3D glasses from someone who had a whole case of them and is selling them for $6 a pair on eBay. I'll tuck them into my Elm Street set just to have them.

I still have mine from the original theater run. The theater was trying to be cheap and collect the glasses for re-use so my buddy and I snuck out the emergency exit. :D

Did they tell you when they handed them out that you had to return them at the end of the show? If not, finders keepers! ;D
