universal 1991 hamilton monsters?

[hugohernandez]

does anybody know about these guys and are they collectible?   I have a few of the smaller 4 inch guys and I see a set of four on ebay for the big 14 inchers  is 800.00 buy it now.
anybody know if these  are that rare?

[CreepyJeff]

I have all of these as well.  $800 buy it now?  Not in a million years.  They retailed for $20 each and appear every so often on ebay.  I have never seen them fetch over $40 a piece.  Not super rare and not the greatest likeness (except for Wolf Man in my opinion).

[poseablemonster]

Not at all rare or valuable.  $800 is ridiculous. 

[Mike Scott]

Ditto! $200 ea. is insane!

If you really, really want one, right now, and someone is offering a NM one for $40, go ahead and buy it. Otherwise, wait awhile and get them for $25.

Creature looks much better with his arms up. Doesn't have that "And away we go!" look.

I have 3 of the little guys, didn't pay more than 20.00 for all 3.
but I did find the BIG CREATURE guy on ebay for just over 55.00 buy it now.
He is on his way, I have always like the creature and the big green guy looks pretty cool
I am assuming he is posable as the rest of the big ones seem to be.

I agree about the likeness of Wolfman, I have the small croucher and he looks right out of the movies.
the scene where he is on top of a crate in some street scene, might be FRankenstein vs. the Wolfman movie...

not sure.
HEY thanks everybody for saving me some bucks.

Creature's arms go all the way up. That's all the posing (up, down and anywhere in between) he does.

I own all 4 of the big ones.  I bought them in seperate transactions and don't think I paid more than 60 bucks, total, for them.  No tags, but still a great deal.

By the way, I dig the MOTHMAN avatar!  Where is he from?

HEY you are the first to comment and RECOGNIZE my beloved Marmit Mothman Japanese vinyl figure!    circa  1990 made in japan.

I have several Japanese Crypto UFO related figures, some bigguns, like the Mothman, but I also have tiny in your hand ones of Mothman, and his infamous friend The Flatwoods Monster of Braxton County.    West Virginia knows how to crank out those scary real life monsters.   Thanks for noticing!   check out my colleciton pic posted here.

[Unknown Primate]

Wow!  That's an awesome collection!  The Flatwoods Monster and Mothman are two of my favorite cryptid/monster mysteries.  Don't see much in the way of merchandise for them and I've never seen a cooler bunch than yours!

I'm gonna have to break down and invest in a couple of figures one of these days, LOL!

Thanks for sharing - very cool!

Hey Unknown Primate, they occasionally show up on ebay, but it is rare, I listed two of the flatwoods monsters on ebay right now, the smaller ones with the purple face and pink face.    They both glow in the dark very well.    Both are out of production and originally they were 90.00.
I think you can get the darker one that has the traditional coloring, but does not glow in the dark for the same price.   

I sold my big brown mothman on ebay along with the big flatwoods monster with the traditional coloring last year.       

there are some stores like Rotofugi in Chicago, who deal in Japanese Kaiju figures and they can turn you on to other stores that carry this stuff.

but be warned, once they go out of production, they are pretty hard to find and people who collect the mothman and flat woods monster rarely want to part with them.
I know I am hanging onto most of my collection and just thinning out a little.

grumbletoy is one website, fatsuma is another, just add dot coms to those and your best bet is Clawmarktoys, they seem to carry the ones that are out of production and they got me all my miniatures in my collection, most of them and their prices are the most reasonable.
keep me posted what you run across.

[hugohernandez]

Unknown primate, there is a super duper rare little mothman at this link (clawmark toys website under crypto if this link doesn't work)
and the price is very right.

these little guys don't come along often, and when they do, they get snatched up, fits in your palm but super duper cool.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Nice site, by the way.

I saw 2 of the large size Frankensteins in a store the other day. They were $13 each and in good condition. I did not buy them. They are nice. However, without a Karloff or Strange likeness, I am usually not interested. Honestly, the 1980 Remco 5 inch action figure might be a better likeness. lol

Hope you go for him, he is pretty awesome.
long live the mothman!

I will post a pic of the big green creature when he gets here.

HEY Unknown Primate, I just noticed your tag line "perhaps he wonders why.....?"    DON"T TELL ME you are a Boggy Creek Fan too!!!!

I just found the BIG SIZED POSTER on a poster site and had it professionally linen backed.  it is unusual as it is bigger than the common 1 sheet usually found on ebay.   Its so big I got no place to hang it right now.   you and I have a lot of the same interests.
that movie is buried deep in my psyche...  sometimes fun... sometimes nightmares!!!
