Hey Mike....the mini mask was done by Jack Nisi in a tiny run years ago. Scarce as hens teeth. The whole set of masks is GI Joe size. That is indeed the squishy on card.
    Left to right for the circled items..
1. Hasbro Toy Fair painted prototype 12" figure. was displayed at Toy Fair in '99
2. Hasbro unpainted protoype 12" figure from '99
3. Head off that hand puppet...my son played with it so I took the head when he lost interest
4. Sideshow creature painted prototype
5. head from SS figure

Fantastic Creatures! I'd love to see more pics of the prototypes. Is the Sideshow figure pinned or a test shot? Thanks!

"Creature OF the Black lagoon". "Creature FOR the Black lagoon". "Creature TO the Black lagoon". As long as there's a Creature and he's in a Lagoon.

Thanks for the close-up pic! Now I really want one!  ;D

I dig that interesting Frankie bobblehead.  Looks like the Marx head. And i especially like those mini head sculpts, remind me of little masks.  I see things like that and I think how cool a hand puppet would be.    ( Sorry I have a thing for puppets) :-[

Few of the Hasbro protos

All I could see in the other pic was the head. It's a very nice Glenn Strange sculpt!

Where do you get all the prototypes? Do they just turn up on the collector's market?

The Frankenstein bobble head and the unfinished Hasbro Wolfman prototype are 2 seriously awesome pieces. Especially the Frankenstein.

Does anyone remember the flocked Hasbro  Wolfman and Frankie that popped up a few years back?

I also have one of these.  Very heavy.

My picture file lists it as being made by someone named Jesse Washington.  Don't have a date on it, but sometime in 1990's.

 I can't tell the size by the picture, but could the head be a resin casting of the Marx robot head?
