Mystery Wolf Man action figure!

[Debs]

Hi everyone!
Can anybody help me identify this Wolf Man figure? There's no copyright information or country of origin stamped anywhere on the figure. Approx. 4 inches tall, 5 points of articulation with a soft rubbery head that is a little sticky with age and will pop out of the socket. Body made of hard plastic...am stumped! Any suggestions gratefully received!

Looks like someone made a Marx-inspired Wolfman figure. Have never seen this, but is ultra-cool.

thanks...that was my first thought too...it's incredibly similar to the Marx figurines, but articulated! i guess it's probably a bootleg of some sort...

Oh, I remember those. Dollar store knock offs. Came on Bubble cards. I think there might have been a Freddy Kruegar, too.
If memory serves they would date back about 15 years ago as I seem to remember owing them while living in my other house.

thanks, that's helpful!

I've got a few of these guys, think there was a post here with images. They did the Wolfman, Frank, Mummy Drac and Freddy as far as I remember.

i picked him up for cheap on ebay.co.uk - so this was probably a british version of these figures...still no joy in fathoming out who made them though!

Very cool! The Franky looks like it was derived from the Marx figure, too.
