  OMG, I had one of the Mattel M-16 guns.  Haven't thought about that in years.  Didn't take long for the trigger to tear up though, after that it was just loose and wouldn't make the noise anymore.

There's something disturbing about the M-16 ad seeing it TODAY.  Regardless, I had a toy M-16 and loved it.  2 neighbors had metallic blue Tommy Guns.  Nobody went around killing people with them back then.  What the hell happened?

  All the cool toys got axed.  Too bad kids couldn't target the Mother's soap operas in retaliation, just to get a point across.  We could have claimed they were exposing us sexually negative stimulus.  But no, only us and our toys suffered.

Yesterday's actual news bulletin: "Mills & Boon romance novels cause disease because they don't promote a safe sex message."

No. I picked this up at my local comic shop earlier this year for 25¢.

Some facts..The two moon monsters are as follows. The really cool looking one on top was sold from 1962 and after. The one in the Bottom of which I also own was first sold when the Monster fan club was started in late 1958 and is very rare...The x-ray glasses  with the plastic frame are the first generation...Yes they are vintage....The 7 Feet Monster size monsters are out there but are selling as high as $500.00 or more for each...I sold a total of 11 7 feet plastic Frankenstein and 9 7 feet Boney the skeleton....Mistake now I only own two of each...I sold them back when eBay was new... Belief me when I say this the ones the collectors are now selling on eBay for $500.00 most were mine....The owner of Honor House gave them to me in 1985...He gave me 13 Frankenstein and 11 Boneys...In the original packages and I like a moron sold them from $40.00 to $215.00...each...I want to put my collection in some type of museum now this 7 feet monsters are not as rare as my two 7 feet Monster Ghost, the Johnson Smith and the Melton company ones...and my Polaris sub...etc..

Well since you got them for nothing you still realized an infinite return on your "investment". The owner of Honor House was infintely more of a moron than you were.

I used to get these back in the late 70's. They had cool Joe Kubert covers. My folks would always get me the latest Stan Lee hardback book (Origins, Son of Origins, etc) for Christmas and they'd order them from this catalog. I think they also ordered one of those marvel coins for me. I have three of them, Conan, Spider-Man and Hulk but I think there's a Fantastic Four one if memory serves.
