Post an Image of a Favourite Monster or Sci-Fi Collectible!

The plight of the collector, never enough space!

Which is why I've been limiting myself to items in really pristine condition. My interests are so broad my dwelling would otherwise have been overwhelmed by my acquisitions decades ago.

Hep,   my dwelling IS overwhelmed!!  The antique markets here in PA. are all closed for now,  so I can't get rid of items, but the good thing is I'm not bringing any more home for the time being.

What you need is a bigger house! Or get rid of all your junk furniture, e.g. sofas, chairs, tables, televisions, stoves, refrigerators, etc. to create more room for cabinets and bookcases in which to store collectibles.

What you need is a bigger house! Or get rid of all your junk furniture, e.g. sofas, chairs, tables, televisions, stoves, refrigerators, etc. to create more room for cabinets and bookcases in which to store collectibles.    

All you need is a recliner, TV, refrigerator and a microwave.  Everyplace else is for collectibles.

(I know, you're wondering about a toilet.  Build an outhouse in the backyard - or the front yard, if you hate your neighbors.)

I think you're gonna need a bigger house.

You need a stereo too, although good ones might take up more room than a TV.

Here's the cover and one of the interior pages from the booklet with Neal Adams artwork that was included inside the Aurora Monster Scenes model kits:

I served as the model for this PEZ dispenser:





Otherwise these are my two favourite horrorific PEZ dispensers:

Puzzy





Raven





The reason there are so many variants of each is because each was part of the Mr. Ugly and His New Friends assortment which was released several different times over the years as well as the Kooky Zoo assortment which was also released several  different times:









P.S. This is the fourth anniversary of the day I started this thread. Hopefully we can keep it going for a fifth anniversary gala celebration anyway!

Here's a good picture of a carded set of Universal Monsters Hot Wheels:

Kenner released Lightning Bug "Glo-Juice" in 1967 just before Aurora released the Frightening Lightning variants of its monster model kits:

Hi Hep.  I remember buying a bottle of this when it came out,  I actually used it on a few figure kits that I built to see what it would look like,  the glow effect was really cool,  but I remember it went on a bit thick, and the liquid didn't really stay on too well.  After it dried, you could peel it off real easy.

Here are a couple of pics of the fabulous Ideal Addams Family board game from 1964:





A later Addams Family board game was the one Milton Bradley released in 1973:

A Witch Deflector coin about the size of a fifty cent piece was handed out as a premium in 1964 to movie goers attending the double feature The Horror of It All and Witchcraft:

I took my Mego-like Creature to a retro-screening of his movie, in 3D.

These Space Raiders made by Diener were a very popular toy in McDonalds Happy Meals in the mid to late seventies

Eraser monsters by Ian McLean, on Flickr

I just couldn't resist these 3D jointed, posable eraser monsters at 69 cents each. Distributed by Hunter Leisure of Melbourne, Australia. Woolworths city store, Sydney, Australia, had them. The mummy, robot and Frankenstein's Monster are depicted with a other creatures and cars on the back of each pack. There's supposedly an eleventh, secret, 1-in-50 eraser to collect.

And this little guy, an eraser pencil-topper bought from a Scholastic Book Fair in 2013, reminded me so much of the elusive vintage "Moon Monster" poster.
