Had NO idea they made masks to go along with the Mani Yack transfers... TOTALLY COOL!! Thanks for sharing these w/us Bobby!
I didn't either and they are awesome!  Never seen them on ebay either.
Long live the UMA!

Awesome mask and transfer! I dig the Phantom.

These are the only ones that have ever been seen, to my knowledge.  I bought them from Danny Roebuck.  There was also a Frankenstein mask by the same maker.  Don't know if these were prototypes (and Dan doesn't either) or more likely they violated some copyrights and were pulled.  The Frankenstein is not a Mani Yack, so my guess is that someone was charged with coming up with some plastic monster masks, and used the Mani Yack transfers to base their sculpt and paint.  The bolts on the Frank mask are in the middle, and there isn't any licensing info on them (which sometimes is the case with licensed pieces that went with costumes that show licensing), and my guess is that there may be other Mani Yack monsters out there, but a Dracula would not be Bela or like the Mani Yack, the Creature would not be much like the Mani Yack licensed Creature, and I'm not sure what Mummy attributes are Uni Trademarked, but guessing again that the one eye thing would not fly.  So all that to say that the Phantom and Wolf Man make some sense, but other monsters would not be the same is my guess.  Lots of guessing and thinking there that basically doesn't mean much.

I remember getting those frogmen in cereal boxes.

I never had a frogman but I had the baking soda powered Nautilus atomic sub!

Bobby, that Frankenstein Mask has a rather creepy & disturbing look to it, for some reason...  But, it's neat!

All this talk about plastic frogmen reminds me of this toy set I bought for a friend's kid a few years ago. Anybody else see the "Frogmen VS Radioactive Octopus" set?

No, But I want one now!  that is COOL!
Mirabile dictu,don't you agree?

Wow, Bobby; I LOVE that Frankenstein, too!  The two masks next to the transfers makes for a brilliant display.

"Frogmen VS the Radioactive Octopus" IS cool. The kid I gave it to loved playing with it in the bathtub, and I was jealous because I WANTED TO PLAY WITH IN THE BATH TUB! In the dark. With a black light.

That sounds very cool alright, but I suspect that the frogmen aren't baking soda powered anymore.

:(
