Title: Remco Addams Family and Munsters Big Heads?
Post by: The Toyroom on October 04, 2008, 09:07:47 PM
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! ;)

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:

Quote from: The Toyroom on December 09, 2007, 08:27:30 AMHi all! If anyone is looking for reproduction boxes or cards for the following action figure lines, I have them available. thetoyroom(*at*)yahoo(*dot*)com

- Mego Mad Monsters (boxes or Kresge cards)
- AHI Monsters (Kresge cards OR custom boxes)
- Tomland Famous Monsters of Legend (cards)

As well as custom boxes for 8" Mego style Universal Monsters.

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.
