From Facebook:

Reportedly spotted at Walgreen's. Somehow, they looked better in 1990, but I'll have to see them for myself.

Looks like Creech has been taking steroids.

I have yet to find any UNI-monsters at Walgreen's

Me want!

Is that the only pic on FB?

They don't even have them on the Sunny Days Entertainment website.

First ones just now showing up on eBay! I wonder how much they are at Walgreens?

I can wait.

I just thought, with free shipping, that would be a good price.

Out of curiosity, what Creature item would you be happiest to find? A holy grail, of sorts.

Ebay (top dollar collectible) price, or garage sale (can't get my money out of my pocket fast enough) price?

If it's the latter, any '60s Hasbro, or SPP items will do nicely.

Went to a few of the Walgreens to see if they had those Monsters Bend-Ems, but I didn't see any. They did have some different Bend-Ems from the same company in their regular toy section, and I had never seen those before, so perhaps they'll get the Monsters eventually. I got an 89 Michael Keaton Batman, which was about $5. I'd like to get the Monsters Bend-Ems, but not at the prices I'm seeing on eBay.

Is that a Bend-Em? Made by Sunny Days Entertainment?

They should be $5.97 at Walgreen's. I visited two today. One with some Halloween. One with none. No monsters at either location. Will try the other two Sunday.

The one where I got my Dracula and Mystery Minis is sold out of all Funko Universal items.

Yes it was a Bend-Em, and I'd never seen them there before, so perhaps it's a sign that they'll be getting more. I threw out the packaging the figure came in, but I'm almost positive it was made by the same company
