Not a monster toy but did get the new remake of Super Joe.

A man who is now in jail with many charges broke into my bedroom without permission through the ceiling while I was at work
  I thought my collectibles would be trashed but nothing was damaged.  I believe he hit the floor.  The US Marshalls arrested him in my apartment after a long standoff.  The apartment next to mine was trashed.

Wow- what a crazy day!  Glad you weren't home & are safe & your place wasn't trashed!

Sounds like a major flaw in design. Can someone get from one apt. to another by a passageway above the ceiling?

He tried.  There is a small space between the thin sheet rock and wooden floor above.  He broken the sheet rock next door and crawled up into the ceiling and over into my apartment. 

Thank you all for your support.  I'm glad no one was injured and my things are undamaged.  You understand how much we enjoy our hobby.  We take great care in keeping our collectibles in good condition.

If interested I was interviewed on the local news website the Cortland Voice.  I live in Cortland NY.  They posted pics of the hole in the article.

Just read the article & watched the video.  Crazy big hole in the ceiling!  Very thankful you weren't there when he crashed through, especially since he had a gun.  Also very happy that none of your collection or other areas in your apartment were damaged.  Stay safe & hope the ceiling gets fixed soon!

Just got my Nosferatu & Metaluna Mutant Ultimates from S7 today. Box was unscathed and figures/boxes wrapped in plastic.
I really dig the MM!
Do you know where you are, Bartolome? I'll tell you where you are. You are about to enter Hell, Bartolome, HELL!...

Here is the tag for the red pants plush. Not much besides a maker and date. Other side is just UM c. info. Back of big UM tag doesn't have any additional interesting info other than "Made in China". About 12" to 13" tall.

Is that a plushie of the wrestler version of Creech?  That's fun.  I never did try to get those odd little figs.

For $8, I broke down and bought a reproduction set of small buttons.

Check the curl on those. mine say "c. 1970 Universal Pictures". They may have made a small set with the art from the large buttons. Bootleg buttons don't usually have copyright info on them.

No markings at all, but for the size they are well made.

I assume it's a 2-piece construction with a pin and latch.

Yes. I'm not sure if it would stand up to much wear.
