Here's the 1963 Mongomery Ward Toy Yearbook (Christmas Catalog). This is how all Christmas catalogs should be! 200 pages of nothing but toys! Hey, check out the clown riding the horse........he reminds me of the clown hiding under the bed in Poltergeist.........creeps me out.......

1966 was a VERY good year!

I had that Tom & Jerry puppet in the upper right corner (1st pic) as well as the Porky Pig.
Thanks for posting the catalog page!

They currently have Hanna-Barbera action figures in Toys R Us.
Nothing like the classics you grew up with Saturday mornings!

The clown was made by Rushton and was part of their lineup of toys for many years. I have one just like the one in your pic, and his younger cousin serves as my avatar here!

Wish I could see a photo of my first toy robot. I know it was Cragstan...as that always stayed in my memory. I think it was mostly red and battery-operated. I have done searches, but the one that looks somewhat familiar is not Cragstan and another is not battery-op (friction).  I can visualize myself in my room setting up things for it to knock down. Supercar was out then, as I made my own 'model' out of pipe cleaners and paper and cardboard and hung it from the ceiling. I know I was living in Houston then, so that was between 1959 to around '62.

I look on Google and eBay, but nothing jumps out at me as "that's it!" Of course, that was a LOOOONG time ago. I remember our wind-up tin roller coaster from even earlier (guess one of the Chein ones). I have a photo of us with a tin service station from the same time period. I know my older cousin had one at their house we would play with. I didn't remember ours that vividly. After the mysterious robot I have a pretty clear recollection of most of my memorable toys.

Here my same cousin was selling old Christmas catalogs at a local 'market days' thing in the 90's he had gotten from a neighbor (among lots of other stuff). My friend got some and called me and luckily he still had one left under the table that I got after I went there. He was selling them WAY too cheap!!! AAAGGHHHH!!!!! I think maybe I got my buddy to trade me one of the others. We weren't as close a friends back then and he and his dad were also set up there.

My cousin is not a 'toy guy' and is more into 'normal' antiques and furniture.

Wow, that's very cool. You don't have a bigger photo of it, do you? I'd like to be able to read it.

For some reason his picture shows up a lot bigger/clearer (even more so than the one above) over at the CHFB!

So I take it that Carrying Case Horror House Box Set contained the Hasbro paint-by-number Frankenstein, Dracula and Wolf Man pictures. Would each of these have been in the same individual box in which they were sold separately or did Hasbro dispense of the individual boxes for this Box Set?

[RPM]

I'm not sure why these photos appeared so small. I've problems attaching them.

Yes, the Frankenstein, Wolfman and Dracula 12" X 16" canvass panels w/ oil paints were all contained in the set and are identical to the individually packaged one. In addition, there are 36 8" X 10" presketched sheets of more generic style monster scenes for coloring w/ pencil, crayons and watercolor.  It sold through Sears for $3.97

Okay, but therefore it's not the case that each Horror House contained the three individually boxed Frankenstein, Wolfman and Dracula paint-by-number sets. The canvases I take it were all loose inside the Horror House set.
