Thanks for the kind words guys, but really, I just got lucky and found it. Posting it is a no-brainer to me. I mean, how can I not share it, when as work gets slower these days, I'm spending my spare time finally assembling Phoenix Candy boxes from this very group!? I still consider myself a relative newbie here, but if I have something to give back, I'd be a real jerk not to.

Well, thank you for doing that!  It's what UMA is all about.

PM me and tell me what ever happened with Henrique, the Argus, the poster, etc.

I only counted the Draculas that are potentially accessible.  There are another 2,000 in landfills.

Wow. Your ability to channel the whereabouts of a toy is nothing short of amazing. You are a modern day Criswell. I will begin following up on all of these leads of yours. That is with the exception of the fellow in CA. who is happiest when he is in the warm embrace of another man. Homey don't play that game. Not even for a Tomland Dracula  ;)

I wonder if they looked anything like this?

I have photoshopped the mini-Tomland Dracula onto my UK Lincoln (The heads are almost identical) and they seemed very derivative of the Lincoln's.

The Tomland Wolfman hands have gone on, judging by the Mummy and Frank - the Dracula would have had normal hands, but when it comes to Tomland, who knows?

I have given him the red Frankie top.

Whatever we are expecting, it will probably turn out to be quite different.  The Wolf Man certainly didn't look like what I expected.

This is very true with Tomland! The Dracula probably looks nothing like the rest of them.

The mini wolfman, mummy and yeti do look kinda similar to their big brothers, and the Frank has the same, weird bolt positioning. I wonder if one will ever show up?

Quite an odd thing is that I never saw these in shops, I remember a brief period of the mini monsters being about, I remember the Starroid raiders, FMOL first series/non-glow, the Lincoln's, the Remco monsters, large, small and the puppets at home and even old stock AHI's (and I was 8 in 1980) but I never saw the Tomland glow monster range.

My favourite cheap toyshop when I was a kid was heaped to the rafters with Tomland stuff. These guys must have been super rare, even here in the UK. Does anybody know what happened to Tomland? when did they go bust?

The card is back, and it has a Mummy on it!  Frankenkid is selling it with a loose Mummy (stated in the description).

With several bids and up to $1500, I don't think this is outing any "hidden" auctions.

Knowing the seller, I doubt it highly. This is as real as it gets.

I meant the photo above my post, not the toy on auction.
