Received my blue Giant Marx Frank today. Impressive size looks good on the display shelf. Some imperfections but probably to be expected with 3D printing.

They ALL have that flaw on the bottom of the base.  Must be some imperfection in the digital pattern.  The eyes and mouth could be retooled for sharper lines.

Other than that, I think they look pretty good.

I agree. The size is what sells it of course.

With this lack of detail I fear a Giant Marx Creature won't look right. The claws and scales and chain links on the base require much more detail than this big Frank has.

Didn't somebody make a 6 ft. Frank, once? I might be thinking of something else.

Is that a single piece print?  If not you did a hell of a job hiding the seams.

It's a single piece.

USPS is a mess now. This repro Frank bucket was supposed to be delivered Monday the 24th. I'm waiting on another item that was supposed to be delivered today but wasn't when the mail truck ran. According to tracking it's still in a neighboring state. USPS stopped the thing twice in Pennsylvania and twice in North Carolina on the way. If senders got back a refund of a percentage per day of lateness past their so-called guaranteed delivery date they might come nearer getting their act together and weed out some of the dunderheads and deadbeats USPS has working for them.

What do you think of your mini Bucket?

I like it. It looks good in a display. I'm glad I ordered it, but the price is a little painful for a new item this small. I paid less for my 5-foot-tall Pumpkin Skeleton from Target. I know it's like comparing apples and oranges, but it just shows how expensive these things are for a new 3" item.

About the only other classic blow mold I would be tempted to buy in a smaller size repro would be the Empire Haunted House from 1969, but I think my limit would be about $20. I have an original and a mini repro might be cool.



Otherwise, I wish someone would make 2 1/2" repros of the Marx Monster figures (playset size). I saw a listing for five of them (sans Creature) and had to pass because they were so poorly done. They were really cheap too, but if they don't look good it doesn't matter how inexpensive they are.

Contact her through eBay and let her know.  She is doing some Halloween blowmolds.  May she would tackle your house.

Got this year's (series 4) Monogram Creature bag clip.

These are all blind box, so you gotta pay twice, on eBay, for the one you want. Luckily, they're cheap to begin with.

Doesn't look like a bag clip.  Looks like a plush toy.

Photo doesn't show the clip. Made something like a keychain. About 2.5" and made of hard rubber (plastic).
