Picked up more monster playset figures.

This is the packaging...


...for these.


These skeletons come in nice header-carded bags of 20 each.






All pretty cheap on goddAmazon. Free shipping ta boot.

With all these figures you're buying HH are you planing to build the worlds biggest monster playset? Aliens vs zombies vs dinosaurs vs monsters vs the military. Hmmm... that could be fun.

[marsattacks666]

That IS one cool City of the Dead.

[Frankenmummy]

Nice pickup!

Hey Doc. Nah, my forays into custom playsets have wound down. I just like to pick up examples of this stuff for my collection.

Although... I am putting together a limited run of custom bagged monster playset figures with various mixes of some dupes, and custom header cards. Kind of a nod to the cheap rack toys from the '60s/'70s that are near and dear to many of us Monsterkids. My first series called Hellish Monsters is heavy on the figures from Big Bucket Of Monsters with some zombies and monster hunters thrown in. I'm putting together 13 of them with 25 pcs. each and then retire the header card. I'm keeping 2 of them for my collection, I sold #3 last month, and I plan to offer the rest one-per-month on evilBay till they're gone. The main reason I did this to start with was to make myself something cool to add to my collection, then I tested the waters by offering one on eBay last month and it attracted quite a bit of interest so I decided to do a limited run with the header card.



The header art is an homage to 2 very diverse types of monster art- Frazetta and Eerie Pubs. Slick, classic work by the master Frazetta, and cheap, down and dirty thrown together goresploitation by Myron Fass' Eerie Publications. The summit and the dungeon, but both dear to us Monsterkids who grew up with it.

Thanks, fellas. I grew up in the '60s so the playset style figures I still love. I just focus on my favorite stuff though, which is monsters and dinosaurs.

You got a Mahaloween Jack mug! Those are tricky to come by for a civilized price. Are you a tiki dude too?

I am a Tiki dude. Although I don't have that much, I do have a tiki themed bathroom.

Picked up Diamond Select 1974 Godzilla vinyl bank and Jet Jaguar Bank.  I'm an unapologetic fan of the kid friendly 70s Godzilla movies, so I'm pretty psyched.

That Morbius is a terrific release.  I had the old toybiz one, and the faces melted on all of those after a certain point.  I'm jealous of that Marvel Monsters set!  Still need to track one down myself.

What is the figure above the Godzilla figure? The package looks familiar.
I think I know what it is, but not totally sure. Is it- Gene, Paul, Peter or Ace? Haaa-haaaa!
