Wow, that's sweet.  Great mask, Jason!  Is that the original paintwork?

Dr.Terror

No, it's a new pull from a master.

Wow, I didn't even know that these were being made.  Nice!

I've never posted to this particular folder but would like to do so now. Not a "weekly find" but a more recent addition anyway. I've owned a Glenn Strange Frankenstein mask example of the '63 Don Post/Famous monster-ad variety (painted by Dr. Lady) for a good while.  Now I have a pair of Frankenstein Monster hands that seem to be the correct type and size as pictured in the Famous Monster ad. They are pretty fragile but complete. I also have a black coat and so am going to attempt to replicate the Glenn Strange Monster in the Famous Monster ad to display in my monster room. The same pose with arms crossed. Hmm, just what I need~more projects! But if I can pull it off, I think it could look great.
In the picture, the FM ad is in the upper left corner (that I'm going to try to replicate).
Best,
Richard



Toy Ranch

Yes, those are the ones Richard.  Super set of hands.  There were 2 different kinds of Frankenstein hands, and that was the earlier type.  Outstanding!

Real nice pick up! Love those hands.

Love the "Sweater" ad.   

Richard, those hands are fantastic, you should have them foamed.  Not many of those hands floating around.

Wow, Richard.  That is a great set!  Now, you need a cable-knit sweater to replicate the ad!

I found these 2 masks at a Thrift shop for 25 cents each.

Found 2 of these Quasimodos at a flea market a couple of weeks back.  They are from 1996.  Not a great likeness, but...

Not a monster item, but a great find.  I bought the Lone Ranger book at a used bookstore and found the 2 1930's radio premiums inside.

Still hoping for a really great monster find.  Maybe someday...

Like I said, I am selling off a few pieces, but still collecting.  :) Here is what I found this weekend. I got em for a pretty good deal to. This is my second find of original 60s 70s Of these in the wild.

Guys,
   These are all great finds ! I really like the Quasimodo windup and the Lone Ranger book
with radio premiums.

Toy Ranch

Cool stuff Rob.  Those masks are great, as is the Hunchy windup and the Lone Ranger stuff.

HH, I love those Rubber Uglies.  I have an almost full set from childhood and remember picking them out of the counter box at 7-11 after church.  I'd get one if I behaved and didn't do anything to embarass my folks :D

That snail I had when I was a kid too, and still have it.  That bottom pic, the ones on the top were sold in larger size in header bags called DeHorribles. 

That one on the right is positively pornographic.
