vintage famous monsters binders vs. repros.

That's correct Mike, he was selling those other knock-offs as well. I actually bought the 60's repro Dracula binder with the name Dracula on it. So, it does look like someone cut & attached the FM logo to the image shown in this thread.

It would appear so and, apparently, the guy doesn't have Photoshop.

Yes, you're right. I've been calling them that for so many years that it's hard to stop!    I guess it was finally decided that they are Hasbro after all (or a complete mystery).

They use the Hasbro oil paint by numbers and pencil by numbers art work, but I don't know of anyone who has  knowledge they were produced or distributed by Hasbro. To date, and tmk, no wholesale catalogues have turned up with these binders in them. Does anyone know of products like this that Hasbro sold?

There was a big thread on this, a while back, but I don't recall if anybody turned up any Hasbro made binders of any kind?

My recollection is they did not, but I can't find the thread to confirm.

I kinda think not, too. Let's call them "Unknown, most likely Hasbro."

Hasbro produced notebook binders of Dr. Kildare and Ben Casey from 1962 which are all stamped Hasbro. They were made in the same manner but with a photo rather than artwork sealed in clear plastic in white binders. I believe I posted a photo last year during a similar discussion. I'm currently away from my photo files, so I can't post. A Ben Casey was recently on ebay if someone wants to view it.

Thanks RPM! I remember that, now. Here's the auction pic. More pics in the auction.

SWEET! This is so much of what I love about the UMA. Thank you!

It seems to me if Hasbro produced the Oil paintings whose box art is exactly the same as the binders.  See what I mean?

speaking of seeing, why didn't anybody alert the community aka US at UMA that there were 6 Hasbro Monster paint by number (exquisitely  rendered) paintings on ebay?
I found out too late and they had already been split up and half of them sold.
Had I found the initial listing for all six, I would have GLadly bought the whole set.
I don't think those paintings come around so often!

I had never seen a creature offered up let alone the Phantom and the Mummy.

Even Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman are rare in my monster collecting experience.
wouldn't you agree?

We do, but why didn't they put the Hasbro logo on them, like the Ben Casey? Although they likely are Hasbro, it would be nice to have that last bit of proof.

People get pissed off when you do that, if the auction is still "live". They don't want any competition for the rare stuff.

I have seen plenty of not so called alerts but threads talking about current auctions, Grail stuff too!
example, the bike buddy auction.   UMA was talking up a storm for that auction.
anyways, just curious as to why the previous auctions of Hasbro Paint by Number didn't show.

I don't understand.

Could have been some other reason. Who knows!

[Mike Scott]

I don't understand.

Therefore the binders should be Hasbro, too, would be the thinking.
