Got a couple of full size (22x28) HS repros from Digital Masterpieces.



Wow! Really beautiful.

Digital Masterpieces make the best repros! The color, brightness and contrast are all spot on!

Looks like they're from a company called Empire?

Yes, those are possibly the Empire companies 'Villainous Vampire' and 'Menacing Monster'.  The molds were later sold to General Foam plastics company, but its hard to determine without looking at the makers mark.  These are made in the USA, from the late 90s/early 00s if Empire and from mid 00s to 2015 or so if General Foam.  Both companies are out of business now, and the molds have been lost/destroyed.  Vintage Halloween blow mold prices got very high over the last year on Ebay and since shipping is so expensive on these big ones, it throws off the actual value of the blow molds.  They look really nice: no fading, scratches, etc.

Thanks Mars. Picked these up today. This time I visited some comic book shops on the other side of town. If UMA members are ever in the metro Detroit area, shout out to Big Ben's Comix Oasis and Asylum Collectibles.

Got a little zombie card game for my nephew from Kohl's.  It's cheap and the art is fun.

I would have bought one for myself as well.

We'll see.  Haven't even opened it yet.  If the cards look nice I might get an extra deck.  I also bought him a Five Nights at Freddie's game yesterday, but I need to work that one out first before I show it to him.

Just got a set of the 4 APC cereal premium 11x14 posters. All are dead mint, never folded. I only wanted the Creature poster, but bought this set because of the condition. I'll be selling the other three.

eBay!  It was a BIN, so I bought it then.
