MPC Monsters Appreciation Thread

  I just picked up a set of those reproduction Haunted Hulk stickers, just in case I ever come across one that needs decals.
I must say, they are awesome looking. I would strongly suggest getting a set for a rainy day.
  Should have put up a pic sorry:(

Here is a pic from eBay. These things are really awesome. When I picked up my original sail I was kind of glad it was missing the stickers so I could slap on these high quality repros. 50 year old stickers range from bad to terrible, especially on a bathtub toy. These things make the Haunted Hulk look new. Good move picking these up Darkside1. Like jimm said, you never know when the availability of something as obscure as this will disappear forever.

  I actually work near the gentleman who made these, so I was able to pick them up in person.

Super cool guy!

Here's a pic of two blister carded prehistoric "monsters" sets by MPC that were bought by many of us in the '60s and '70s. This represents all 24 MPC dinosaur "monsters".

Cool! Are those yours?

Cool! Are those yours?

No, I got that pic off the net. I do have those two backing cards from an eBay auction of four different backing cards from a few years ago. I also have the sealed blister card for the first set of MPC dinos posted earlier in this thread, as well as the sealed blister card for the Marx Second Series prehistoric animals. I've been on the hunt for these things for years but when undamaged sealed blister cards come up they go for big bucks. I had so many of those as a kid and couldn't wait to rip through that packaging to get to the dinos. Who knew?

Man I love the MPC dinosaurs! Had so many of them as a kid.

I loved (love) them too, RedKing. MPC and Marx dinos are some of the great Monsterkid Icons.

 Every time I see the thread up, you know it is something cool. MPC should have stood for Monster Playing Coolness!!

You know it, brother. For what was considered a knockoff company back in the day Multiple really stepped up and made some of the coolest toys in history.

This is a tough one. MPC window box prehistoric "monster" playset. Captured this pic on the web, I've never even seen one of these. Very scarce.

I wonder if their is a market for cool playsets like that today. I would really love to see something like that based on current and classic horror films.

I'd sure buy'em.

Amazing these fragile window boxes survived in displayable condition!

[Darkside1]

  I think these playsets have a charm all their own. Thank you for posting the pics HorrorHunter.
You have such a great knowledge of all things MPC:)
