Why would they have chosen a different Hunchback?  The Charles Laughton film was good, but it was an RKO release.

Edit: It has the Universal credits and pics of the stars. What's not universal about this cup?

Art for the Hunchback cup was lifted from this poster.

Oops! I misunderstood your post, Haunted hearse. Never mind!

Here's one that I've never had, but it looks cool...

I was really hoping someone would post a pic of these. Thanks!

I have a loose wolfman

[Monsters For Sale]

Cool.  The shirtless guy is a Wolfman.

What is the guy in the suit?

[Mord]

 Looks like a Mr. Hyde to me.

What is the guy in the suit?

Looks like a non Universal Frankenstein type monster (notice the scars).

[clay.sayre]

The other one is a Frankenstein.  I used to have one sealed, but traded him thinking I could find a loose one.

Here is a better shot of the Wolfman



and the Frank sealed:

They don't look much like Lon and Boris.

[Mike Scott]

They don't look much like Lon and Boris.

'Cause they're not.

[Monsters For Sale]

'Cause they're not.

Ya think?

Whoever drew this tripe should be smacked.



 

Repeatedly.

This bag dates to the late 1980s... maybe 1990 at the latest. The insurance company my mom worked for gave them out locally during one of the last few years I was young enough to go trick-or-treating, and my sister and I ended up with multiples. There are probably still one or two wadded up in boxes somewhere in my parents' attic.

Since I have listed a few buttons...


This 1976 Frank 'N' Stein 3 in. button was made for A&W Root Beer:




Anyone know if these were offered to customers or given only to restaurant employees?

Here are a couple items that tie in to the previous post:


First is a 36" x 23" Poster announcing a Frank 'N' Stein / A&W Iron-On that was given away to customers who bought a "Coney Dog" from the restaurant.  (They also got a mug of A&W Root Beer at no additional charge.)




Here is the 6 in. x 9 in. Iron-On premium.



A close-up of the instructions.



And a verification of the 1976 date.





The Iron-Ons show up on eBay fairly often and sell quite cheaply.
