Cool! What did the machine vend? Candy?

[Mutated Skeleton]

I haven't. The closest I've come is about ten years ago I was moving to Chapel Hill North Carolina and the robot version was in the business that I was dropping off my moving van. There's a total of three variations with the third being a clown like character I believe? If only we had more variations of the monster!

A mini repro. And it does say "candy".

Yes, the machine can only fit candy sized items through it. I'd hoped it could fit larger vending capsule balls but at least the display windows can hold things like that for display purposes.  I'd not seen that Monstor sticker before, very cool.

Dark Horse Direct Tales From the Crypt Book Ends. Now I need to find decent enough reprint collections of the original comics to be worthy of putting between these incredible works of art book ends.

Very nice sculpts!

Just curious, do you want the individual comic books, or the large HC volumes?

When the time comes, I'll be on the look out for the collected valumes.

The Dark Horse hardcovers are great.  I don't thing they did all of the EC titles, but they definitely did all the horror and sci-fi.

I haven't posted a horror game purchase in a while.  I got a good one to share today.

Man-Eating House is a Japanese trick taking game that looks to be pretty heavily inspired by House (1977).  I wanted something to represent J-Horror in the collection and options are surprisingly limited despite the Japanese game market (trick taking games especially) being pretty robust.

Here's a link to wikipedia.

Hearts and Spades are types of trick taking games, but there's lots of different types.

Recently picked up a full set of German Mcdonalds Happy Meal toy water gun hands with themes of robots, monsters and skeletons from 1999. Very strange!


And grabbed the mini version of Daimajin from Yokai Wars, TOMY 2001 Daiei Tokusatsu Series..


To the larger Sofubi version picked up recently..

Here's a pic showing the promo photo on the packaging. Crazy to see actual blood dripping from a toy in a Mcdonalds Happy Meal, haha. I believe the name translates to scary hands.

"Handgun"! I get it!
