Unfortunately, it looks like Playmates never made a "Wednesday" figure. Promos at the time claim that Wednesday was scheduled to be released but toy sales didn't do as well as they hoped. Also never produced was a "Cousin it" and "Thing" toy.
What ever happened to my Transylvania Twist?

My Creature Bucket from Super 7 arrived today. Here it is with some other Monster/Halloween stuff:

Just got a loose Uncle Fester figure to round out this grouping. Fester and Grandmama, are 1992 Playmates figures. The rest I think were from candy packages.
Cool!

Diggin' that blow mold light-up haunted house, Hh. We have similar taste...check out mine behind my Creature Grave Walker/Lagoon Crawler in the post above.  ;)

Speaking of ugly things, did you know that several Uglies appeared as circus freaks in an early-70s Hitchcock comic book?  You can clearly see Alvin in the rafters and Dorothy, who appears to be ogling Mr. Hitchcock himself. 
(The other creatures are based on Ugly Sticker designs.)




Also DC Comics' Brother Power, for some reason.

Nice!  My wife collects the Playmates line & the fast food/promo items, too!  I enjoy the animated-style toys quite a bit as they tend to look a lot more like Addams' original New Yorker comic strip art as opposed to the 90s live action stuff.   There's a small rubber Thing & a Cousin Itt (that looks more like a chicken McNugget), as well!



The full Playmates range:

....Addams aside, if you enjoy things of this cartoony/classic nature, you could also check out the 'Tales From the Cryptkeeper' line for some fun times....inexpensive, to boot; you can grab the entire range for a $50 bill and get change back....

Today I received a couple Groovie Goolie figures from a company called Barclay that specializes in old-school metal railroad & village figures.



These are modeled on some PVC figures that were released in the early 70's. I had several of them as a kid, but they are long since lost. These are slightly smaller than the original PVC figures, but they have the same poses and colors. They are meant to be "G scale," and stand about 3 inches tall. These are made of solid metal, and they are HEAVY! Excellent quality figures. I bought two for starters, and I am very happy with them. Now I'll have to go back for more!

I brought in ReAction Frankenstein to show their relative size.



By the way, the original Frankenstein figure wore the much-despised green suit (in the cartoon, as well). Is this where the green-suited Frankenstein monster started? Or did it predate the Groovie Goolies?

Picked up these Halloween masks at Dollar General today.



These are fairly thick rubber with a heavy elastic headband. They remind me of the Silver Shamrock masks.

The Shrouded Skeleton Hanger is from Dollar Tree.

These are great, man....I'll need to go grab a few sets.  Talk about a classic look -- if you told me these were from the 60s/70s, (Ben Cooper) I wouldn't argue otherwise.
Ahhhh, Silver Shamrock.  I watch that film several times during the Autumn months.

Also, they arrived!  And on my birthday, no less!    ;D



And one of my buddies is doing some custom sketches for me, based on this image (among others)!

Happy Birthday, dude! And, congrats on the cool score!

I'll be posting some rubber creeps pretty soon and I hope you'll identify some of them for me. I'm not up on jigglers the way I am playsets and I need to improve my education (and my rubber monster collection).  :)
