Nice angry villagers set! Are they in scale with the 3.75 figures?

These are 1/24th scale. Now all I got to do is find a cool 1/24th (or a little bigger) scale monster to chase.

You might be able to use these in conjunction with either the Dept. 56 or Hawthorne Village Universal Monsters figures & buildings. Personally, I think these would go great with the burning windmill!

When times are dark, don't consider art to be merely a distraction; rather, think of it as a lifeline-  Neil Gaiman paraphrase.

The very generous Dr. Wolfenstein (or is it "stein"?) has gifted me with these 2 Creature cards from the Aus. "Weeties" cereal UM premium set. Just about impossible to find in the US. Thanks, again, Gab!!

Yes, indeed!  :)

BTW, the back sides are the same as the fronts.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this series is a set of stickers over graphics, correct? So, originally, one side had a sticker adhered to it?

By golly they are! I didn't even notice! I think I'd read that, but had forgotten all about it. Now I have to refrain from peeling them off and sticking them to my notebook, or my locker!  ;D

AAAAHHHHHHH! Don't do that! That said, I *think* there's a different image under the sticker. I have some info about those somewhere but can't bring it to hand right now.

Picked up 7 out  of the first 8 issues off Ebay. Pretty cool. Reminds me more of Eerie than Creepy tho.

Really cool. I am starting to warm up to these 3 3/4 scale figures. I can't wait for the King Diamond.

I found this Creature Features lunchbox at Goodwill for $13.  Not too much about these online that I could see, but it looks like there were two styles sold in the 1990s.  The other was the same basic shape but green with tentacles instead of claws.  I really dig that the fangs are the latches.  Looks like there was a little speaker box in the compartment in the lid, and it would growl when opened? Maybe?  I have a junk pocket screamer, I think I'll set that up in there and use it to bring my lunch to work.  Zombie Grin









Also, I posted in the couple Kong threads I saw, but I was in Walmart last night and they've clearanced those 18" Kong figures all the way down to $5! I had to cave in and get one at that price.

Stay sick. Turn blue. Drop dead.
