Vintage Monster Charms

[Hepcat]

Wouldn't you know it, I say no Creature from the lagoon heads and this sneaks in under radar.... 

Were these charms ever in Cracker Jack or is the description just another example of the all too common "throw everything against the wall to see if anything sticks" listing technique used by Ebay sellers these days?

Ebay item 132188239578

These are new, not vintage.

Hmmmppphhhhffff. The Ebay shyster of the day.

My mind has been blown.    More than impressive.    WOW.

I am gonna say I never got anything that cool from Cracker Jacks, so I say its like you said, throw everything against the wall.

Bobby has a great collection of gumball and other small monster items!

But made from '60s molds, correct?

These newer heads are all from new molds.

These heads were never in Cracker Jack.

So, there are no comparable '60s toys? Or, are there '60s ones that are similar, but different?

I recently got this little red '60s Creature charm as a gift. Sitting amongst some '50s friends. I now have him in a tiny display case. (No dusting!)

Mike, what are those spongy looking bigger monsters?   Are those new figures of Invasion/Saucer Men, I Married a Monster/Space?    They look edible like circus peanuts.

I love me some Monster Circus peanuts.    are they easily found?  I love those 1950's Monsters.

Diener Monsters, here's all eight:



Fairly common. Not expensive.

The other guy is the YMIR, but he doesn't have his tail. Also in HH's pic (front and center) is "Destination Inner Space" and an "Outer Limits" monster

They're not hard to find. Just search "Diener Monsters" on eBay.
