Vintage Monster Charms

[Count Zero]

this lot sat on ebay with a BIN for less than 24hrs a couple years ago.
i took this screenshot while it was still active... wish i grabbed them when i had the chance!

i really like the color of the plastic - can't go wrong with slime green - and the paint job has that fantastic crude appeal that ive come to love.



wish there was a franky

NICE did you remember the price and WHY didn't you buy it?   counldn't of been that much... man that is a sweet and sour line up.   loving the Quasimodo.

You could try buffing the charm with a soft wheel.

But I suspect the "shimmer" is just the result of photographing it with a flash.

I dunno MFS, look closer, see all the speckles in the black?   I bet that is some sparkle glitter in there.    Anybody else see sparkles?

dreamy.

maybe the Owner of that will come forward.

im pretty sure it went for about $150.
i didn't immediately pull the trigger because i was waiting on the seller to get back to me on whether or not they had a frank.

in hindsight... frank shmank... there were 2 metaluna & a mummy

augh!  the old Hindsight and shoudda wouldda couldda.     You are probably kicking yourself now.     I wonder if that white Metaluna was glow in the dark?

I see sparkles! And yes, they are dreamy.

ive never seen a glow in the dark pencil topper. that would be amazing if that pinkish white metaluna was indeed glow in the dark! i love glow in the dark monsters.

looking closely at phantom & mummy - they gave phantom the one eye paint job & mummy has 2 painted eyes - never seen that before.

[Count Zero]

where are all the charms at?

here is a one eyed 1" inch painted mummy.
i really like the purple on this one - it really pops.

[hugohernandez]

that purple mummy pops so hard, his eyeball flew out.      Hey Count Zero, I like your observations, on the 2 eyed slime green mummy, and the one eyed Phantom.

I wonder if that buyer will step forward so we can hound him for that Glow Metaluna.    Shirley they made glow charms, makes perfect sense to me!

That's fabulous! I love the purple.

Wasn't the '70s more the glow decade? Off the top of my head, I can't think of any glow stuff in the '60s.

(And don't call him Shirley!)

The Aurora Frightening Lightning model kits were released in 1969 and were instrumental in starting the glow-in-the-dark craze.

Well, that's about as close to the '70s as you can get.
