Big Bud, "Universal Monster Force" was indeed a TV cartoon and you can get the whole thing on DVD over at Amazon for $7.50. I have the Creature and the Dracula figures from that show.

P.S. That G.I. Joe Mummy is too cool! Mine was missing the big yellow gem. It's great to gaze upon the Mummy again. Thanks.

Just got these from our very own CreepyJeff! Love em! In new condition!   

The art on those is fabulous!

Oh man, I see some great Psycho, Nightmare, Monster Madness, Monsters Attack and other magazines in there that absolutely, positively need to be scanned individually and posted in the Warren and other magazines thread!

i would recognize that artwork anywhere!  it's from one of the "Draw 50..." drawing books made by Lee J. Ames.  these monsters are from "Draw 50 Monsters, Creeps, Superheroes, Demons, Dragons, Nerds, Dirts, Ghouls, Giants, Vampires, Zombies and other Curiosa..." published in 1983.  so odd to find their faces on a halloween bucket!

Here's a nice Halloween Bucket that I recently got to go with the one I shared here a little while ago.

It is a one gallon bucket, 6.75 in. x 8.25 in., not including wire handle.  It was made by Venture Packaging, Inc., Monroeville, Ohio.  There is no date, but there is a recycling triange with the number 2 inside on the bottom.

Here, in order, are the six faces on the bucket (the figures in the border around the bottom are bats):




















The graphics are much sharper than my crummy pictures.  All the bright areas are from my flash.  Aside from 2 small rubs, the bucket is just about perfect.

I thought it was a good deal for $23.00.  It will keep my other bucket company.  These are great for filling with those odd, tall collectibles, like figure-topped candy tubes, Halloween wands, etc.

I went to a flea market and got this Fruit Brute...

[poseablemonster]

I love the Fruit Brute!

[Scatter]

FRUIT BRUTE!! Cool score!

[Monolith]

I can put him next to my Boo Berry from the same series. Now I just have to get my two favorites-Frankenberry and Count Chocula.

I also got this Topstone monster hand for three bucks. I just got the one, though. Does anyone know what year it's from and how much it's worth?

I went to a flea market and got this Fruit Brute...

wow! what a great find, i have been searching for one for years but they are so pricey on ebay and i haven't had any luck at swap-meets or yard sales...oh one day ill get my hands on one of these bad boys

I went to a flea market and got this Fruit Brute...

Oh my gosh!  How totally awesome!!

[CreepysFan]

 Monolith, that Fruit Brute is totally groovy.

[jimm]

How tall is Fruit Brute? Funny how they add Nerds to all the Monsters and what-not in the draw 50 deal LOL

[Monolith]

Jimm--- the Fruit Brute is just under 8 inches.

Werewolfwoman---Yes, they are pricey. Right after I got this one I looked on e-bay to see if there were any and there was one and the "buy it now" price was $85. That's why I don't have a Frankenberry or Count Chocula yet. But keep looking at the swap meets . Good luck, I hope you find one.

My latest acquisition. I thought this was funny. Bottom right- I present Kong's grandson...

Very cool! But so are all those other small items! Is that your collection of vending machine or Cracker Jack premiums or something?
