Title: AHI Jigglers advice needed
Post by: Moe on July 12, 2014, 12:29:49 PM
This guy has a Frankenstein and Wolfman jiggler, both on card, not loose.
What size were the original cards??

I've never owned one of the cards. Seen a couple, but never owned one. I don't have one to measure. However, if you could post photos of the two in question, there are UMA members who could probably ascertain whether they are genuine.

The 7" jigglers were the ones that were carded. Looks like the card would be about 9" tall?

Thanks for the help...  I found a dealer who reproduces the cards to display them and it looks really nice.  I picked up a wolfman and will post it in latest finds.

I thought these came with cards?

Was "The Toy Room" the repro dealer?

Card's are 81/4".   Carded Jigglers are smaller than the tagged versions.  The tagged versions are an inch taller.   
Carded wolfman is just over 6" Frankie just about 7".

The best repros were the ones made by the guy who used his original Mummy and Creature cards he's had from when he was a kid.   Wasn't toyroom.

I say the best, but really they are the only ones.  I don't think anyone else did them.
