That galloping monkey is CRAZY lookin'!

[Hepcat]

I proudly showed him my Gasser car purchase and he sneered, telling me he has cases of them........and I tend to believe him! He beats everybody to the good stuff!

Ask him whether he has cases of the Revell Rat Fink in Lotus Racer as well then. I need that one badly.

Not a chance he'd sell. It's a sickness. He has at least 3 full-from-top-to-bottom storage sheds of incredible stuff. He just keeps buying and adding to the pile.  Most items on the bottom are being crushed by the weight of what is on top of them. His girlfriend says he buys a piece, gives it a quick glance, adds it to the pile, never thinks about it again, and starts searching for the next item to buy.      Buddy

I've seen that shed. In two Indiana Jones movies.

Scream! Sure, I'm compulsive insofar as I keep adding to my stuff but I treasure it all! Everything I have is well organized, accessible and as much as possible on display. And I'm very much willing to sell/trade my undercopies/doubles.

Can't  say how far back they go originally, but Archie McPhee/Accoutrements was selling this in an assortment with a second pose (one holding an orange in one paw, one not) under the name "Lucky Monkey" as late as the late '90s. At some point toward the end, one of the molds became unusable, and they just sold boxes of the remaining design for another year or so.

One of the Halloween stores that opened up here in the Charlotte area had some older, more interesting things and I picked me up this little guy...





I also picked up Spirit Halloween's "Flesh Eating Zombie", and like most new Halloween props, it looks cool except for the flat, sloppy paint job. So I popped his head and hands off and gave them a new paint job...

[marsattacks666]

creaturerevenge, very cool marionette. I think it's a marionette?

[creaturerevenge]

Yea it is... it was a bit tangled when I brought it home!

Got in a Marx blue Frankenstein and yesterday I spent some time using Easy Off on him. Zardoz! Franky looked real good with the paint job, but my other Marx figures are unpainted so had to scrub him down. The Easy Off was really a great way to go! Thanks Franky73!   Buddy
