I like the Mummy glass best. I'm usually biased towards the Creature, but I think the Mummy has this one all "WRAPPED UP".....ugggh. I gotta get these things one of these days.
I think the Mummy came out looking the best!
I gotta say the Mummy too! Buddy
Yeah, the Mummy looks best.
My default answer is always Creature, but the Mummy glass is easily best.
Creature for me followed by Mummy
Frankie looks like he's on his way to a disco....lol!
I like the Creature the best, though the mummy is nice too.
Another Mummy vote
Yup, Mummy, easily.
What year did those come out? Since there's no Dracula glass, I'm guessing after Bela Jr's lawsuit?
Frankenstein's secret is out! With those purple pants, I can only conclude he's The Incredible Hulk!

1963.
:)
Hmm, before Lugosi v. Universal Pictures? Surprised they didn't use Dracula instead of the Creature. I can understand them not wanting to make an odd-numbered set, too. Just, if you've got Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, and the Mummy, my mind automatically goes to Dracula as being part of that group. They could've made Drac and the Bride for a set of 6 glasses.
My pick would be the creature. But, Frankensteins Monster is right up there.
Is it true that there are actually two different Mummy glasses with slightly different lithos on the back having to do with the Egyptian symbol printing?
My own vote goes for the Wolfman on this one.
I think a lot of folks are just picking their favorite monster (mine would be Frankenstein in that case), which is fine of course but if you actually look at the artwork the Mummy wins hands down!
The Wolf Man is supposed to be in his iconic crouched pose but it just kind of looks like his arms are stunted. His face is spot on though.
Frankenstein's head looks great, classic Glenn Strange but that body is just a mess; Funky looking arms and tiny little feet!
Creature has the opposite problem, his body/pose is great but that face? Why does it look like a generic Creature?
The Mummy gets it all right; pose, likeness and colors (another spot that Wolf Man and Frankenstein suffer on).
That being said, I envy anyone that owns a set!!
i voted for Creetch, but the only one I own is the WOlfman.. :)

Exactly what I was going to say!
I voted for Frank. LOVE the color scheme and the castle. Sucker for castles.

THIS!
I would just go for Wolfman since I'm into Werewolves. However I set myself a rule that I never allow any breakable like this in a room where it might fall and break or some kids just want to mess around in a room for a while. Even if I have some of them, I would try find best safe spot for them and it's not easy at all. Thankfully I never have anything broken in the past.
Creature is the best imo, then the mummy, wolfman, and frankie. I have none :-[ of them yet.
QuoteI have none of them yet.
Frankie73 (Jeff)..........how can that be? You have multiples of most everything! Ha! Buddy
I really think that the Wolf Man is ugly but he needs some love ... SIGH!

I know buddy, it boggles my mind too.....i just hope i find a set as nice as yours when i do!
Thanks Jeff........I believe I got my very nice set from CreepyJeff.......... I love em! Buddy
I voted for the Mummy but Wolfman was a close second. The Creature's body is fine but his face is all wrong while Frankenstein just doesn't look right to me at all.
:o
I Like Them ALL of course, But The MUMMY WAS the BEST.

No!!! Actually, the Wolf Man is the most colorful. Still neat-o. :D :D :D
I voted for the Mummy as well, but I do kind of like Wolfies Tye-Dye colors.
I like the design of the Wolfman, but I don't dig those colors on him. I like the Creature the best, then the Mummy.
The battle in this poll has turned out to be one for second place:
Mummy 17
Creature 10
Frankenstein 7
Wolf Man 3
:-\
The Mummy usually gets the shaft when compared to the other UniMons. It's cool to see him kicking some asp!(ouch)

The Mummy glass is awesome! The Creature one is cool as well
Something's wrong here. Your vote hasn't registered.

Mummy.
A local antique store has several Mummy glasses for $35 a piece. Price seems fair, just haven't picked one up yet.

Wow, now that is a steal!
I voted for the Mummy. I'd normally go for the Wolfman, and then Frankenstein, but the Mummy's just the better design, and a good likeness of Chaney as Kharis.
Chris
The Mummy is still the runaway leader here.

I'm wondering why you didn't buy them all. Or did you?

So do you have any yet?

The only one I have is the Wolfman. I paid $60 for him this year.
They are all cool but out of the 4 I like the Mummy the best ,

Jeez, I've been on UMA longer than I thought! :o

yep! Full set, got the mummy first the summer of 2012 at an antique store(actually bought 2 of them there) . Then last year I picked up the other 3 via ebay in separate listings. All minty. Love em!
Did this same company make a set of placemats also?

Nope! Those were made by one of our members as gifts for the members of "The Old Dark Clubhouse" gathering at one of the yearly horror cons.

The placemats are customs.

LOVE the placemats
I would have to say that the MUMMY rules on the placemat too!! Anyone know what year they were issued? Thanks for the info:)

They weren't issued, as such. Read my previous post. May have been 10 yrs ago? I just don't recall.

No. It's the Phantom that's needed to complete any standard set of six. That's the classic template. The Bride of Frankenstein is needed to complete a classic set of ten though.
;)
Any new acquisitions of the Anchor Hocking glasses. Anyone?
