Custom Monster Playsets

Some custom playsets I put together are featured in this thread, but anyone is welcome to post their own vintage style custom monster playset(s) here as well. I put this in the Vintage Monster Toys section because they are in the style of vintage monster playsets by Marx, MPC, Remco, and others, and they contain vintage pieces.

The first one is Hellgate Fortress. This is a Fantasy/Horror/Sword & Sorcery playset in the vein of Conan and Lord of the Rings. This is a big set, so I spread this over two videos. The first video covers the components, and the second video covers the set-up (which I had to do in the floor since it was too big for my table).

This is the Haunted Graveyard Playset which I posted about here on UMA several years ago. It's a two-part video and it's the first two videos I did on my YT channel and it's not-so-great coverage of a cool set. I'll try to do an improved video on this set at some point. This set features the MPC Weird Monsters as the "Unholy Eight" and the revenge of Hagmar the Witch and her evil minions on a graveyard and village in coastal New England.

This is the Rocketship to Venus custom playset which is a Pulp Era/1950s Monster/Sci-Fi playset. This is another early video that needs to be updated and improved. Lots of Pulp Era Venus tropes with dinos, green hell jungle/swamps, Flash Gordon type rocket-ships, and weird monsters and aliens, are featured herein.

The MPC Ancient Dark God Playset is up next. This set is a Lovecraftian Dinosaur/Monster playset with MPC pieces and a fantasy background/origin that puts the limited production year at 1972. The Dark God (Agrezelh) ties into the Haunted Graveyard Playset featured earlier. Oh, for 30mm figures of hot Amazon warriors!
