Love the Mondo posters, but I am out of wall space and those things cost as much as some vintage toys. 

Here are some years old pics of my Creature stuff. If I ever get my Creature room done, I'll do a video of everything. I hope this link works.

Your link worked perfectly!  I'm in awe ~ You have an awesome collection!  I love the pool sign & have never seen one of those before before!  The grave walker looks amazing!  I wanted to get one of those but my ceilings are low and figured I couldn't squeeze it above the doorway.  Cool Hikari, I don't have that one, I have the glitter one & glow one.  RE: the poster, several years ago I saw it listed on eBay & fell in love with it.  I got lucky and not many others bid on it so it was my birthday present to myself.  I remember thinking the frame from Michael's would have cost as much without the sale coupon.

Great to have you here Kristin!!!
I think most collectors have the same story, never enough money, shelf space, or wall space.
And waaaaaaaaay too much cool stuff we want to buy!!!!

I love the pool sign

There are several "Who Peed in the Pool" things. That plastic sign, plus a couple of posters and an iron-on.

I have all 7 of the Hikari Creatures, now. Nothing like overdoing it! 

There's a bunch more pics of my newer things in the "Show Your Monster Collections" thread. Just don't ask me where. Great thread for browsing, or posting pics of your own collections.

All 7 sounds like a complete set, not overdoing it 😉

Also check out the Media section for our collection of vintage UM toys and collections of some of the current toy makers, like Super 7 and Funko.

I need to move these Sideshow and Diamond collections over there, if I ever find the time.

Love these threads! 

Reminded me that I have the Hikari Creature in the original yellow green color too.  I don't think I had seen all the Metaluna color ways until now.  Also didn't remember the PEZ figurines or all of the Diamond black & white / silver screen color ways.  Will definitely check out the Sideshow thread soon too.  I'm always in awe of their busts. 

I'm still blown away by all of the collectors room pics.  I think I'm like a fifth of the way through the thread working newest to oldest.  Thankful for the many hours of virtually touring enjoyment ahead!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Kristin.  I live in San Jose, CA home of the Winchester a Mystery House.  I've always loved monsters & Halloween as far back as I can remember.  I'm a big fan of the classic Universal Monsters, especially Frankenstein's monster & Creature from the Black Lagoon.  Looking forward to exploring the forum and having fun!

Thanks So Much for Welcoming Me to the UMA Family!

I like your avatar!

Hello everyone, I'm Anthony. I've been very into Universal Monsters/monster mashes basically since I was a kid, but especially more lately, so I'm glad to find a whole forum dedicated to the Universal Monsters. I'm not on a lot of social media as it makes me rather nervous/unhappy, but the forum seems delightful, so I hope to get to know more people here.

[Mike Scott]

Welcome to the UMA, Anthony! 

We're a fun bunch!     No trolls (unless it's the movie ones).

You'll fit right in here then since UMA is the refugee for people who despise social media! You could actually label this place as the  anti-social media corner of the internet. See the topics of discussion which we choose e.g (what colour should Frankenstein's jacket be, why Godzilla varied in size between appearances and were some of these "appearances" by an imitator, whether Christopher Lee's portrayal of Dracula was the definitive one, was James Bama the one who got the Creature's belly colour right, why Aurora didn't release a Metaluna Mutant kit, whether Glenn Strange stepped into Frankenstein's boots more easily than did Boris Karloff, etc, etc.) Pretty sordid, eh?

Mmmm? Not sure we should call it that!
