Puzzles, anyone?

That's right. The Gruesome also made appearances in the Flintstones comic books of the time, too. I've got a pretty good collection of The Gruesomes collectibles. Here's the completed puzzle...

Flintstones/Gruesomes Puzzle (1964) by donald deveau, on Flickr

I truly dig the Gruesomes. They kind of remind me of the Addams Family. I just wish there were more toys or collectibles developed of the Gruesomes.

I like the Gruesomes, too. They did make a few Gruesomes collectibles. I have a coloring book, a Big Golden book, some small plastic figures, wrapping paper, a super 8mm home movie, this puzzle, and some Flintstones comic books in which they appear.

Here are two more monstery slide puzzles:

Here's a picture I lifted off the net of the fabulous Super 7 Creature from the Black Lagoon puzzle that was released a few years ago:

They were going to make more of those, at one time. Don't know if they still plan to?

[Hepcat]

Not only can I not find whether they released any others, I can't even find the year in which the Creature puzzle was issued!

It had to be last year, 2019; right at the time of Boodega.

It had to be last year, 2019

It was last year and it is the only puzzle released, so far.

Since the Creature puzzle seems to be sold out at most sites, I'd be surprised if Super 7 didn't put out several more.

I believe it was 2018 when the Super 7 Creature puzzle was released.

Here's a good picture I lifted off the net of Lakeside's 25 Ghosts Puzzle from 1969:

These are photo examples of the only Universal Monster/Frankenstein jigsaw puzzle produced by APC in my collection.

Ahh..Good old can puzzles. APC also produced Dracula & The Wolf Man puzzles; but Frankenstein was the most screen accurate.

APC also produced Dracula & The Wolf Man puzzles

And The Phantom and The Creature!

Here's another Whitman frame tray puzzle of a Hanna-Barbera cartoon--The WACKY RACES...

Mmmmm. Different numerals on the Creepy Coupe and the Buzz Wagon - and Little Gruesome looks more like a prototype, not his final visage.

Here's a good picture I lifted off the net of Lakeside's 25 Ghosts Puzzle from 1969:

Wow! I had this. Actually, I had two sets and the pieces became mixed, making the puzzle even harder!

Re The Gruesomes of "The Flintstones"...

I like the Gruesomes, too. They did make a few Gruesomes collectibles. I have a coloring book, a Big Golden book, some small plastic figures, wrapping paper, a super 8mm home movie, this puzzle, and some Flintstones comic books in which they appear.

Creepella Gruesome custom by Ian McLean, on Flickr

I recently completed my Creepella Gruesome custom figure to accompany (on the tambourine!) her husband, Weirdly, and son, Goblin. A Funko "Rock Candy" Wilma Flintstone was the base figure.

Poor Creepella had only been artwork on the inside box-liner. Note that I also added metallic paint to Weirdly and Gobby's hair. These were the glow-in-the-dark versions of the two-pack that was exclusive to a comic convention, IIRC, but they were quite bland in the daytime with their unpainted hair.
