Latest Gets?

Nice score. Do they sell them separately too?

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:

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.

Thanks horrorhunter.
Very reasonable price.

That same seller did have these for sale - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mexican-Universal-Monsters-Frankenstein-Wolf-Man-Toy-Copy-Marx-Made-In-Mexico-/272170707603?hash=item3f5ea36a93%3Ag%3AX4YAAOSw%7EbFWFy5g&nma=true&si=JamJEKCxXyAyvjHCRrzCBqNAM30%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Nice!

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.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the newest one. I'd like to have that one, too!

Yeah, I like it! Guess I'll end up with 4 of them. A green one, a red one, a sparkle one and a glow one.

I received my copy of The Art Of Ploog today.

http://www.fpguniverse.com/shop#!/The-Art-of-Ploog-STANDARD-Edition/p/63611723/category=0



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.

Those eyes! They gave me an immediate flashback to being a baby monster kid, with these pop-up books from the late 1980s.  I think there was like 4 in the series... thought it might be the same guy by some wild coincidence, but alas, it was a different dude. But I still recommend them as a good read.

Stopped in Walmart on the way home and swung by the toy aisle. Has anyone else seen these new Classic Ghostbusters figures? They have nice sculpts, and have Build-A-Figure parts for a Glow-In-The-Dark Ghost Logo. At $20, they're pretty neat.

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

Not my favorite movie, but very cool figures.

Nice big images.

Those can be printed sans original lettering to be used as backdrops for loose figures on the ol' toy shelf.

Thanks!

It's not my absolute favorite movie either, but I know we got some big fans on here. I was lured in by the GID plastic. Haha. However I didn't buy them.
