Custom Big Creature Nik (6 1/4" tall).





It's 3D printed but hollow like a blow mold. Seller accepted my offer of $26. Looks cool on display!

The seller has all of the figures listed separately for $30 BIN with Make Offer. I offered $26 which was accepted.

Those are really cool. The bodies look like a mold from the old troll figures. Would really like to see a Dracula one too.

One of those Monsterville Creature costumes from 2017 sold at eBay auction for $125.50 + $10 shipping + tax (around $147) with 42 bids.

This one was used and has condition issues. I wonder what the FMV would be for a new one with the original cardboard piece and hanger and plastic over the mask.

I didn't realize these were selling for that much. I guess the Monsterville stuff is in demand.

6 bidders.

I have a large one and a small one (same mask).

I only bought one (a Large). I did buy an extra mask as well as a Frankenstein mask. Still have those up on the wall. I remember buying the Creature costume at $25 and picking out the one with the undamaged packaging. My Target had 3 of them hanging together on display. I hung mine up in a monster closet and there it hangs still. It is a pretty cool costume, but I wouldn't pay anywhere near what they seem to be selling for. The Target Monsterville UniMon blitz was a blast! Nothing that good since mainstream.

I must have bought one loose, 'cause I only have packaging for one. The mask is in a heavy plastic bag with a plastic hanger top. The costume is in dry-cleaning type plastic. I don't remember if that is the way it came. What kind of packaging is yours in?

I'd add to that to get a BC Creature costume!  :)

My costume (including the other 2 that Target had) didn't come in a plastic bag. The mask did and it's attached to the back of the cardboard piece over the hanger. Couldn't find any good pics online so here's a YT video I did. Creature costume starts around the 16:25 mark.

Great to have that whole "Monsterville" collection like that!  :)

That's the same mask bag and hanger I have. I remember it came with that cardboard piece, too, but I don't know where it is, if I still have it.

Yep. I bought the 3 Screamers too. Somehow, I forgot to include those in the video. I made the video a couple of years ago and the batteries were very weak at that point. I bought new batteries for them and the Mummy head and now they work like new.

Creature Phoenix Candy Box sells for a pile of dough on eBay (a little over $500 total).

I know these are scarce but damn! Out of my comfortable price range but cool to see.

I was watching, but not even considering bidding. Probably never see another one, in nice condition, though.

Mike, you should have bid your butt off for this thing so you could cut out Monster Pin-Up No. 3 to decorate your room.

Btw, what were the "Candy & Toy" pieces included with the Phoenix Candy Boxes? I'm familiar with the later Horror Monsters Grab Bags and Spooky Surprise but I never had the Phoenix Candy Boxes and know nothing about them except for the 1963 release date. Were they regional or national?
