Vintage Monster Charms

[Mike Scott]

But I think what you are calling a Mole Man is actually a Mutant.

Oh yeah! Terrible paint job!

Here is my Creature (large finger type puppet) in a weird orange-ish pink color. 

Here are my two Metalunas (small pencil toppers)



I believe the one that sold today is the Moleman as it does not look like either of these, but I could be wrong.

The one that sold today has those little speckled bumps at the neck like Bobby's.

It is a Mole Man.

I just got these so now I am joining in on this wonderful discussion.    The big colored ones are rarer than the painted ones, and we know those painted ones are RARE.

The closed auction:

Hey TFS are you the lucky winner of this auction?   I hadn't started collecting enough to realize that this was rare as rare could be.   I am told that the mummy and painted Metaluna Mutant were only on the cards and not inside the gumball machines.    So I saw this auction without the knowledge and passed early on it.   sad sad sad

Hey MFS are you the lucky winner of this auction? ... 

Not me.  I have only Frankenstein charms.

I heard that about you. 

[Monsters For Sale]

I heard that about you. 

People are talking behind my back again, eh?

I am hoping to keep this collection going.   I never dreamed that these heads would be so kick arse kool.

Love the gold plated Creature!

How many different sizes are there? Looks like 3, or 4.

[Monsters For Sale]

I've never seen a comprehensive list of all the various monster finger puppets.




Of course, there were more than monsters in their line.  There were also pirates, natives and dogs.




Some of the paint schemes have interesting variations.  My favorite dumb choice is the addition of a toupée on some of the Creatures.

I just wonder if they weren't looking at this when they did that?
