Id put the bobble heads up there.    And has anyone confirmed if the large Elwars came on those cards?

There are a number of each of those in some well known collections, plus the major bobble collectors.



In thinking on it, the Halco UP costumes are genuinely rare, to my knowledge.

I expect there is scarcer, but I've never seen a Frankenstein Monster speaker in person :

Was the carded one you've seen in the Kirk Hammet or Freddie Poe collection?

It was in Hammet's book.

What's rarer, the individual wallet card, or the store display?

Did they ever do a UP costume other than Frank?

I was basing that on not seeing any for sale in quite some time     Some of the well known stuff has not popped up for sale in years.   

Okamoto kits, Takara inflatables etc...
Most of this stuff is beyond rare. Its pretty much unobtainable.

Wolf Man, Phantom, perhaps Mr. Hyde, and there remains the strangeness of the Phantom jumpsuit looking like a hastily repurposed Lugosi Dracula...

MOC (Mint on card) Kooky Spookys
MOC Colorform Aliens


Possibly the rarest thing I know of...the Kooky Spooky Mail-In Haunted House! I want that so bad!

That second series is the stuff of legend and misery.

Truly! You almost have to win the Lottery to obtain a set of the 2nd series!

If I could find this guy to complete my collection, that would be so nice.

You will find one with diligence, keep it up. 

I once had a lot of 1960s monster items, but I kept only one.  This pic, taken by me, originated at this site.  I still have the one on the left; the other belongs to a member of this forum.

And both versions of Frank.  Green and Grey hands

Are there at least as many green hands as red pants? (Green hands are the rare ones, right?)
