Don't see the Creature topper in sets that often.  I wonder if they made fewer of him - or is it just because my searches all revolve around Frankenstein?

Same amount, they came in a equal numbers in a round display canister.

The Hamilton Frankenstein ceramic head lamp. 1992, this time.

I assume this was also the only one of these.

The Hamilton Creature water-ball. 1991 I think this was the only water-ball they made, too.


Odd that the Frankie is dated '92, but yep, he's the only character they made like that, the Creature is the only snow globe.

Guess Drac and WM didn't get a one-off collectable.

That was in the ebay description, so it could be wrong.

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.

Interesting. My memory was that they offered all of it for sale in '91. Perhaps not.

Whew! $5 for 1 pencil and topper in 1991!

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.

It was expensive, I didn't order it. And it took a few more years to find them.

Yeah, the Hamiltons. Sorry!

No, I'm sorry. I didn't read the previous post. I now realize those are
Hamiltons.
