While searching for an old Universal Monsters book I had (please see my post in the Memorabilia section), I came across a blog post and photos of these officially licensed Universal Monster stickers from the 80s.

I have never seen these before. While the artwork is kind of crude, it reminds me a bit of the classic Mark Savee Monster coloring book, with a spalsh of Manga influence.





You guys have probably seen them before, but they are new to me! I found them here: http://secretfunspot.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-school-book-club-and-book-fair.html

I see one or more of them on eBay, every now and then.

Those actually look quite nice to me. In any event I've seen far worse licensed Universal monster items.

Those are my old pics.   They didnt come from ebay. 


They also were sold individually in vending machines.

Oh! Well, that was the only mention of eBay, so that was all I had to go on.

Sorry, I had no idea the pics were "pilfered" without credit.

I like the artwork too. And yes, there's been far worse!

I dont mind that it was used.   Just shocked to see my old computer desk😁

I have the window card for the gumball version.   Ill try to dig it out or find a pic.   Big creature inmage front and center.

Those puffy stickers are very cool...and I love the artwork.  Gotta search these out.  The box too!

I've been hunting for this display for decades with zero luck. Have you ever seen it in person, Dr. T?

Also, kudos on the vending card, that too is VERY difficult to find in my experience.

Wow, that box is sweet. I love the inclusion of Tarantula on these stickers. If only we got a Leo G. Carroll mutated sticker!
