Title: Anyone have any info on this?? FRIENDLY MONSTER GAME
Post by: kreaturekid on May 03, 2011, 09:41:12 PM
Hey guys, just got this and i was wondering if anyone knew anything about it, the artwork is awesom, there is an aurora style creature, with a monster face added on to it, the green monster looks just like the aurora hulk art, and the mummy aurora art. They obviously changed the look of the monsters for licensing.  Its maybe 22" tall. Thanks so much!

Adam--

I have this too. That is an Aurora Creature artwork, with some Corman-esque monster head. And a Kirby-styled Hulk, too.

It is entirely unlicensed is all I have been able to find out. There is unlicensed Nutty Mad  and Weird-Oh stuff on there as well, which is how I came across mine. 

The Mummy artwork IS interesting, I have never been able to figure out the source art inspiration.  Maybe Hammer film poster?

Yeah, that Kirby like Hulk monster is fantastic.

If I had to guess a year.    mid 60s-early 70's latest.

I don't know what year it's from, but it's really cool.
I have a Nutty Mad one packed away.
