MYSTERY FRANKENSTEIN PIPE

Not sure, but...there might be a green one somewhere...

Wants it 'for his son'...LOL

Hey, MonsterBob, don't knock it.  I tried this before and got the Frankenstein Head Halloween Bucket for 35 bucks.  LOL indeed!

Thanks for sharing that with us.

Welcome.

While vacationing in Vasaria for the Labor Day weekend, I had the rare opportunity to closely examine the fabled Frankenstein pipe.  I noticed some moldy, powdery something-or-other inside, so I decided to wash it out.  Whoops!  Like Gremlins, you cannot get these things wet.  If you do, this is what happens:





Now that there are two, will they breed?  If we allow these things to reproduce freely, their rarity will be compromised.  Their value will diminish.  People will start drinking Kool-Aid out of them.  Perhaps they can be bred selectively to produce rainbow-colored variations.  These can be sold to elite clientele.  The money can then be used to finance further monster pipe research.  What we don't know about these pipes far exceeds what we do know.





They are getting a little too cozy.  I better separate them.

Having closely examined the blue specimen that was auctioned on ebay, I can tell you there is no paint on him.  He is molded in blue plastic.  He has a very pleasant, blow-molded scent.  It reminds me of the blow-molded bowling set I had as a kid.  It's that funny plastic smell that only blow-molded toys have.

Now here are a few too many photos of the blue pipe.













I hope you enjoyed one or two of those.  The rest, I hope you detested. 

Now here are far too many photos of the green pipe.












You probably need a break about now.  This thread will wait while you refresh yourself.



Are you back?  Good.  Now here are even more photos of these silly pipes.










If you think you're wasting precious time reading this thread, imagine how much time I wasted taking these pictures.



Well, that brings us to the end of our examination.  As you can see, these are Frankenstein pipes.  Pretty self-explanatory.



Ah wait, I have one more thing for those who made it to the end of this post.





A nice selection of blow-molded Frankenstein toys!

If only I had the Amigos figure and that 18-inch Franky with the jointed shoulders...I would have blow-molded Frankenstein supremacy!  I could breed a race of blow-molded monsters that would conquer the world.

That is all the blow molding and pipe smoking I can handle for one morning.  Good day.

Yay, that is so very cool, Raymond!  Thanks for the great photos!

I would like to nominate this post in the Rondo awards for "Most Thorough Examination of Plastic Blow-Molded Frankenstein Toys - pipe sub-category".     Most excellent, as always.

I was really dissapointed that there were no pictures of the inside of the pipe!



Pretty cool.

No pictures of the inside or the bottom of the pipe. Ray must be slipping a bit in his old age.

This thread blows big time! A highly coveted piece of rare plastic now overexposed for the entire world to grow weary of. I want my money back. You not only conquered, but you raped and exploited the virgin rarity of this item in front of the entire army. And now I am left feeling dirty and cheap. The mystery is gone, and I now need a bath.

[raycastile]

Yes, I have not only opened and emptied Al Capone's vault, I have scrubbed it out with bleach.


Thank you everyone for your comments and compliments!

If this is a cleaning, bring out the bleach way more often. Super cool to see these, thanks as always!
