Oddball request...Does anyone have the boxes for theses figures that they'd be willing to scan/photograph (all sides)? Any help or leads would be much appreciated. Thanks! ;)
Not a big help, but this will give you an idea of what was on them-

Me? Just
'found on the internet' pics-
probably off Ebay-
Thanks! That's a good start.....any others or someone that has an actual box that can do a scan/photos?
Hmmmmm. Collectors buying "M.I.B." Remco and other figures need to be careful as this Toyroom fellow seems to have been producing repro boxes for several monster toy lines:

Always looking to add more!
Thanks!
Repro boxes for the Remco Munsters are out there as well. So buyer beware!
:(
Incidentally, does anybody know of other names under which Toyroom operates?
???
No. However in 2009 I purchased a few Mego Mad Monsters boxes. Knowing that the boxes where repros.

It's not all that hard to tell the difference. The art is just a
little bit soft, while the recreated text is razor sharp.

The ones' I purchased ten years ago have the Toyroom website printed on the boxes.
