There is one of these on eBay right now. It looks interesting.Anyone know the history of these. I don't know how to get pic over from listing.

It's the one for $599.99. It's a small figure.

I wouldn't call 11"-12" small.
That's a hefty price. Might be worth it to some die-hard blow mold enthusiast though.
That's cool. Looks like the Remco mini monster Frankenstein.
He looks like he's wearing a turtleneck sweater.

He's always been stylish! He started that whole torn/worn clothing look.
He looks like a sicario. He was made in Mexico. Maybe they used these to smuggle in blow and that's why you can't find them around?
I'd like to have one of these things, but $600 is more than I want to pay. If I ever find a really minty one with a much lower buy-it-now price tag...
The buyer wanted this one badly enough to top his own bid at the end. (Wonder how much he was willing to go?)
If one of our members grabbed this, maybe you would be willing to share some super sharp focused, hi res photos of your rarity with your envious fellow members at the UMA - please?
And, congrats!
Maybe it was full of blow
Did anyone see this piece, looks like yet another recent piece from Mexico? Knock-off soap container. Has no markings. Nice Frankenstein look, but might be brand new. E-bay item # 313137950617.

Here is a thread about that bottle. (It gets identified in the end.)

The eBay seller had one thing right, they are rare - but
$850?
All this guys items have really high B-I-N prices and opportunities to make offers. It's easy to see he doesn't know what anything is worth and is fishing for large offers. Sellers like this sometimes have items that I watch to see how low they eventually go before selling.
They are difficult to find and this one is now sold.

They are
damned difficult to find. Harder than a Clinton Frankenstein Bucket or a ABG Frankenstein Pencil Sharpener. The asking price just seemed a bit much to me.
EBay used to show us sales prices on all items, even offers. I wish they still did that. I sure would like to know what it went for - just to see what the market will bear on some items.
Were you the seller or buyer,
darkmonkeygod?
Since the seller was asking $850, I find it hard to imagine he would accept an offer of less than $500 so quickly - rather than leave it up for a lot longer and hope for more.
Of course, he could have entered into some sort of trade for some item he wanted more and accepted a token offer to satisfy eBay.
I gotta wonder what one of these things in better condition and still in its box would bring.

Nope, not me. I got there too late and likely don't value it that high.
Hey guys. I sort of had a gut feeling about this piece, but wasn't sure, especially with that price tag. I agree this seller has very high prices on his stuff. It's this kind of "obscure" stuff that throws me off sometimes. All the early classic stuff I know, but, when it comes to this kind of item, I don't mind saying I'm at a loss for information. I guess if I would have known, I might have tried to put in an offer, but honestly I'd rather spend if I'm going to spend on something classic just like that Phantom of the Opera boardgame that went off a few days ago, complete but a bit rough, I didn't get it, went for low 4 figures, but anyway seems people are really spending the bucks these days.

Sorry only 6 months behind, but "that's what she said"
He looks more like El Chapo than Frankenstein, I think he doesn't do him honor :( he's still cool for the joke
