Marx Monsters

[horrorhunter]

Oh boy! More garbage. 

This eBay listing is for the 1991 Marx repop Uncle Milton Creature (Cream) from the paint set. The seller claims it's from the '60s and "Super Rare!".

Seller claims it, and the other 5 he has listed, were "all acquired from one person who had them as a child". Claims they're from 1963 and they're 8 inch figures?! This bozo can't even measure them. They're around 6" tall and regardless of the 1963 date on the base bottom they were made in 1991 to sell in the Uncle Milton Monster Studio paint set.



The seller is either ignorant or crooked. Ugh.

The cream color with dates arent Uncle Milton.  Just 90s repops,but nice ones.  The Milton creams and glows  only have a Uni copywright stamp. The Milton creams are very brittle also.

[horrorhunter]

I bought an Uncle Milton Monster Studio with the monsters still in a sealed plastic bag and they have the dates stamped on the base bottoms. I also bought several sealed bags of Uncle Milton repops from a Toy Shop ad in the '90s and they had the dates just like it shows in the photo of the eBay listing I posted about above.

[Dr.Terror]

Then someone switched your bag because Ive never seen a Milton set with dates and certainly not Marx info. That would nake no sense.      The cream repops came in sealed bags.   The Miltons weren't in a sealed bag. 

Milton do not have marx info or dates.  They are also different plastic than the cream marx repops.    I have both bags right in front of me.

I won't waste time arguing. I can only report my own experience with the figures.

Stressing over something trivial like toys is stupid and could lead to health issues.

The auctions ended for these figures. I was watching two of them.

The Creature sold for $49 with 12 bids. That's around $62 total.

The Frankenstein sold for $41 with 14 bids. Around $54 total.

These prices were paid for '90s repops, which are still probably worth around $10 each, due to the misinformation in the listings.

Nobody's stressing.   I just dont like misinformation getting spread.     I can 100% guarantee you the Miltons dont have marx info or dates.

What a jerk!

The seller is either ignorant or crooked.

With an effort like that he deserves credit for both.

Did the bags come with an Uncle Milton header card?

No, just sealed clear plastic bags with all six figures.

[Dr.Terror]

No, just sealed clear plastic bags with all six figures.

The Milton bags were not sealed.   They were taped closed.

[Dr.Terror]

There were test samples of the glows ,  which are from the same molds,  that popped up awhile back and they only contained Uni copywright info.   No dates,  and no Marx.

Taped close is sealed.

[Dr.Terror]

Taped close is sealed.

Not in this context its not    The cream repops with Marx info and dates came in heat sealed bags. 

The Miltons are taped closed.    When differentiating between the two it makes a big difference and creates confusion calling a taped bag "sealed".   

[Mike Scott]

The cream repops with Marx info and dates came in heat sealed bags. 

That's another kind of sealed. There's also stapled shut.
