Nice Frank Bud. I've been trying to get one of those for a couple years of Ebay but keep getting out bid at the last couple minutes.   One of these days.

Hi ya Lester! Zardoz sold this one to me cheap cause it was painted. I suggest you actually seek out a painted one. Removing the paint isn't that hard, and the price is usually easier on the wallet.    buddy

That blue franky looks like new buddy! Good job! And I like how you posed him in front of my future renzi car that you are someday going to sell me! (Jedi mind trick)

Did a couple trades and got all this.  Tsukuda Mutant needs to be stripped and repainted.  Chernabog needs a little paint touch up.  Monarch GHOST is new and unbuilt.  The black Bird Head Pirate (from Disney's Pirates ride) is from a ltd. ed. of 250! Billy the Kid is a Sideshow action figure -- and only a monster depending on opinion....

Yeah Bud, great looking blue(ish) Marx Frankenstein.  For my money, THE coolest monster toy from the 60s.  Pure pre-action figure Universal Monster goodness boasting one of the best sculpts EVER.  I remember bins chock full of 'em at Kresge's  --  at a whopping 19 cents each!!!  That special feeling I had looking at and buying and playing with those Marx monsters had a profound affect on me that I have never shaken -- and why I am a proud member of this Army!

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

I love that Marx Frankie in all his blue glory Bud!! And that one looks absolutely mint!! I'd never let a brush with any kind of pigmented coating NEAR him! Great job!

[bigbud]

I'm awful slow at getting the Marx monster.......still need a Mummy, and I suspect my Crech is a repro...he is a very dark shiny green....buddy

[bigbud]

And I like how you posed him in front of my future renzi car that you are someday going to sell me!

SELL YOU! Why Jeff! I was about to wrap that old  Renzi thing up and ship it to you! But......SELL YOU!?  How can you put our friendship in monetary terms!?.....I am insulted......Renzi thingie--back on the shelf!  No Renzi for you! (said with the same emphasis as the Soup Nazi)        Buddy

Yea, that's the price I remember too! The price mark on the base of my Marx Franky was a victim of the Easy Off bath............Buddy

[Gasport]

Wow,Bud...it looks as though the paint that was on your Marx Frankie was preserving its minty condition all these years. I was lucky and acquired full sets of both the blue and orange Marx monsters years ago for almost nothing, but the blue figures will always be my favorites. Especially Frankie and the Creech...

Marx FRANKY cool!

I recieved this PSYCHO fantasy carded Norman Bates in the mail today, i just had to buy it! i only wish whoever had made it would have thrown a butcher knife in the bubble with norman. The guy had a bunch more fantasy carded figures on ebay, but they are a little on the pricey side, for me anyway. he had a sweet jack the ripper remco mini size but he accepted another guys offer that was more than mine. I regret that i didnt just use the buy it now on that one. sorry for the camera flash, its a perfect card and bubble, and very nicely done.

Wow! Norman Bates custom........Awesome!
