Received a Frankie Soaky...real nice shape, from my friend in California for Christmas.  Did someone here recently sell one out that way?

Just got home from a friend's house. He let me have these great monster puzzles. The true "cool" is the box of each puzzle. Also the puzzles are 20 inches tall when assembled! Not bad! I don't usually find anything past the 60's to be super cool, but these are definitely an exception....does anyone know if there are other Creepy puzzles in this series?  Bud

Here's the backside of the puzzles. They are by H G Toys Inc of Long Beach N Y 1974..........

Bigbud......wow!  The puzzles are really cool. I have been trying to locate them for
many years, but no luck. Congrats!!!

Great friend you've got! I do love those puzzles.

There is a double-sided Jekell and Hyde puzzle. It too was made by a HG toys as a "Creepy Creatures" puzzle, but it's larger than these three (the finished puzzle and coffin box) and came in it's own assortment, making it harder to find. I was a kid when these came out and was fortunate enough to get the three you picture (and I still have 'em). It was a decade and a half later before I found out about the Hyde puzzle. It's not overly rare or expensive, you just see nowhere near as often as these three - perhaps once or twice a year on eBay closing from $40 to $60).

Edit: Found a worthpoint entry on it:

HEY! I'm looking around and I can't find my newly acquired puzzles! Either Marsattacks66 dropped by, or the wife moved them! Fess up! I want my puzzles back!   Buddy
