Hey Mars, love the Gort!  You have to get te Robby Bobble too.

I saw that too. But, the box was damaged, and there was only one. :(
Btw, GORT'S eyes light up. Cool.

Hey MarsAttacks666, where in the wide world of cool stuff did you find one of those Monster Makers?  I've literally been looking for one of those for years.  I originally thought I was looking for a shaker maker, but it turns out this is the one I remember the molds from.  Hard to forget that two faced Jeckyll and Hyde.

Great find and a great idea casting them up in resin.  Did the resin cause any problems with the molds?  Have you considered selling any of the casts?  I wouldn't mind getting a Frank, Hyde, Metaluna combo or maybe even an entire set in resin if the price was reasonable.  Less chance of breakage and I don't have to store the whole toy.   Of course I could always buy one on eBay, make a bunch of casts and then resell it.  Something to think about.

Sorry about that MarsAttacks666...missed it by THAT much.  I know I went back and checked first, but I obviously got your quoted comment confused with the original post.  My BAD. 

The bobble heads are very cool as well, but I've got a thing for that Monster Maker.

I was pretty excited to get my hands on these guys.  






Could anyone give me any insight on what kind of hand I could plug into that phantom?  The hands are small and the design of the plug is more like a tomland or something?  Mummy's bloody wraps are little off colored and was wondering if anyone tried to clean these?  I worry about loosing the blood.

That is the color that the bandages are supposed to be.  Some were white, others were that tannish color like yours.  For goodness sake, DON'T try to mess with them!  That red paint will run all over and it will ruin the figure.  Plus that one appears to be originally wrapped, and that increases the value of it to many collectors.

Very nice score, by the way.  Now you need to buy my Lincoln Wolfman! ;)

Won this on evilBay.  I had one as a kid.  I need the lost world map though.  I would like to credit the eBay seller for the pic.

I really like this weird little guy I found today. He was made by Commonwealth toys. Does anyone know anything about him? Age? He looks older to me; maybe 60s?

Oh, that Strange Change machine! I coveted those sooooo much as a kid.
