[Bogey]

Beistle late 50's early 60's Halloween cat.  The only reason I bought the lot. Very cool.

I snapped up a skeleton from Beistle earlier this month, but that was one of my least favoorites as a kid....loved the cats more so and witches as well.

[Wicked Lester]

IMO,this why these threads are so cool. You have a lot of 6 pieces are kinda cool but if one piece shines...? $$ . I have hanged my ass on these.  Lot of deals and will so again.

Was checking out the local Craig's List when I spotted a small image of this  in a photo of  items for sale. Got right on it! This is a Marx Drincar. A super cool battery-op tin car from the 60's. I haven't gotten it to work with batteries in it, but even as a display piece it's a knock-out!  I had known of this monster item for along time, but the ones that I've seen for sale were usually very expensive. Truly had no hope of ever adding this item to my collection.  Got this baby for $25. The graphics on the car are wonderful, from the exhausted radiator with his tongue hanging out to the wild monsters on every hubcap. And the driver! He is soft-plastic and rocks forward and backwards. Very Weird-oh/Nutty Mad like.  Is anyone able to tell me why Marx named this a Drincar?    Later, Bud

Awesome find! Never thought of Craig's list, honestly.  I had one of these as a kid!  Congratulations!!!

[The Creeper]

This is just a part of what I have bought in the last month. Sorry about the crappy pics. My haunted camera reset itself again. Kat says they look creepier like that tho I have been getting the evil eye and a few smacks for spending too much on Evilbay.





VXX-FX Teenage WW which I have wanted for a loong time.


Got this for $10 and it is dead mint.




I know these are pretty common but I LOVE the blowmold stuff.


He is a little warped but still cool. I'll prob have to but him in an open shadow box frame unless I can figure out out to un-warp him.



Thanks for looking.

Really great stuff Wicked!  I really like the blow mold stuff too and used to have the one with the Jack-o-Lantern on a haystack.  I am going to try and get me another one.

[Monolith]

Here's a few things I got recently.
A Coffin bank (I think this is an older one), a Wolfman belt buckle, a monster Mardi Gras coin, Mighty Joe Young 8mm movie,Alfred Hitchcock's The Best Of Friends paperback.

[Monolith]

Here's a better shot of the Mardi Gras coin. It says "those lovable monsters" and has Dracula, Mr. Hyde and
Hunchback.

I also got this vintage Mexican Kong figure with it's header card.

I also got this giant sized King Kong comic from 1968...

I love the Mardi Gras Coins!  I own a few Creature ones myself.

[Monolith]

Do you have a picture of the Creature coins?
I'd like to see that.

I also got this vintage Mexican Kong figure with it's header card.

I love this! How tall would you say this Mexi-bootleg is? I'm assuming hard plastic? Any others in the series?

[Gaberax]

If you haven't seen it...a friend of mine is selling a Palmer Fay Wray and King Kong.  She's a real monster/toy collector and the items are genuine.  Bid with confidence...

He's about 4 to 4 1/2 inches tall, and yes there are others. I've seen a couple of other poses and I've seen him in other colors and he is solid plastic, very similar to the Palmer monster type plastic.

[Dr. Madd]

One of these at a hot topic a year ago. On sale no less.

Speaking of...

I went to a spencer's a few years ago and bought a head.. You know, one of those halloween severed heads.. funny thing was, and I wish I'd had a camera, was that they all these heads in a bin marked "severed heads 20% off"!

[Scatter]

LOVE the Kong stuff, and the Frankie head. Hey, how big is that Frankie bust?
