$22.00.

They have 2 pages of Universal Monster items:

I've always really dig the Rock Rebel stuff, and will probably be dropping a small fortune there soon.  You can also find older designs on eBay slightly cheaper.

I have some shirts by them, too. Only thing is, their "Dracula" stuff insn't Dracula! It's Count Mora from "Mark of the Vampire."

Something told me to bop into the local Goodwill on my way home: 
I found this really cool "Bennigan's Creep Week II, 1994" glass for 99 cents.  The design is printed pretty much all the way around the glass. Google and eBay says it's kinda rare? Only 2 or 3 listed on eBay, and Google only has info on this one.  There doesn't seem to have ever been a "Creep Week I," or any other monster designs in the series. Does anyone know anything more about these? I did a search here and didn't find another one. 
Stay sick. Turn blue. Drop dead.

I'd never heard of it, before, but Bennigan's is a restaurant chain. Cool glass! Looks like Count Chocula.  :)

Reminds me of Drac from "The Groovy Ghoulies".

Haha thanks! I thought it was a pretty neat little piece. What's amazing is that if that is the date on the sticker, it had been sitting on the shelf for almost a month!

Yeah, that's a good score, Speed. I've checked Goodwill and other thrift stores a few times and never found anything worth picking up.

If not for almighty evilBay the collector in me would be SOL.  ;D

I'm sure you've considered this, but I think the area has a lot to do with it.  I'm from a small semi-rural town in FL, lots of old folks (FL, duh, I guess. haha) and not many people with disposable incomes.  So things are usually held onto longer and the stuff that ends up in the thrift stores is actually vintage and mostly well taken care of.  Contrast that with where I go to school in an uppity Atlanta suburb: I went yardsaling one weekend and vowed never again; all new cheap disposable junk and clothes.  Very disappointing.

So it might be worth venturing out to the next town or county over and scoping things out.  :)

Oh yes, "Location, Location, Location" doesn't just pertain to real estate values. I live in southeastern TN, the armpit of the country when it comes to finding nice collectibles. This area has always been several years behind the rest of the country on everything, no genre shows/conventions, not many collectors, not much of anything "monster" and very little of even "comic book". Believe me, dude, I would have to drive a lot farther than the next county to stand a chance of finding anything good. Unless I go on vacation I'll have to depend on the interwebbings, specifically eBay.

Oof, that does sound rough!
But you used "dude," and I like that. Haha

Another creature exclusive at the NY Comic Con. Only 88 made. He's a little weird looking.


I think its a Kappa which is  in Japanese folklore ghost/creature which is kind of a turtle-boy who haunts rivers.
