Hey Anton, I bought one of those ghosts on a trip to Paris about 10 years ago.  It was sold as part of a medieval castle play set that included knights, soldiers, royalty figures and a great castle.  I also bought a witch on a broom from the same store and both were had for about what you paid.  Another cool toy store that I found in Paris had lots of marionettes and hand puppets but I don't recall the name.  I bought a fun devil hand puppet there. 

My favorite toy store/museum though is in London, Pollocks Toy Shop and Museum.  If you are into toy/table top theaters that is the place.  The museum is fun too, narrow stair case in an dusty old building.  Check it out: http://www.pollockstoymuseum.com/

I found a bag of Creatures at the same estate sale.  I guess they're probably common but I couldn't pass up 13!

300 more to go. You can't have enough creatures, I always say.

Those are from Burger King ('97). Set of 4 monsters. They originally came in a poly bag with a Creature sticker and instruction sheet (they are squirt guns). They usually go for $5, or so, bagged.

Wow! Is that ever cool! What year was it issued?

[Mike Scott]

What year was it issued?

Says "1965" right on the front. 

[Hepcat]

Yes, of course! It's always important to check the small print.

Snagged this pic from an auction from a few years ago. Other than that, I really have no info on these.

Here's a strange one I couldn't resist. It's a Mexican bootleg figurine, looks like the Marx Phantom body with some weird cartoon bird head molded on. Anyone seen one or know anything about these?
