Do you have the one with red pants?

I would be happy with either version.

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

I think they are both equally available.   Frank.  Finding either version with no paint wear is the tough part.    Even red pants wolf seems to pop up more regularly these days.

I have one of the frames from that Monster Photo Printing Set above. I've had it since I was a kid. I also have some of the negatives, too. Wish I had the whole thing...

Did they? I know Aurora issued all four individually in the early to middle sixties, but I'm unaware of the Wolf Man and Creature being issued as a two pack along with this Frankenstein's Monster & Count Dracula set from 1970 or so. I would love to see it if it does exist.

My bad.

I thought these were issued individually.  This was the only picture I could find.  When I saw this set of two, I assyou&me'd that the other two were also a duo.

Didn't know the duo set was issued in the '70'.

I can only remember seeing one on eBay. People used them, so you'll never find a MIB one, but it looks like they chucked them once they ran out of the stuff to make more photos.

I've never seen one. I would just like to have some good photos of the individual Creature package and parts!

No worry. The two Frank & Drac two pack was, I believe, available wholesale in '69 and '70. Dunno if it ran longer than that.

I owned a duel set of the Creature and Wolfman, it really was made.  As with the Frankenstein and Dracula, I snagged that duel set a number of years ago on e-bay, haven't seen one since. I also snagged the unused black plates for the Creature and Wolfman years ago. There was a mint sealed photo printing set that was found I believe sometime in the 90's at a flea market somewhere in New Jersey.

I've never seen one either. I do have a creature coppersmith mold, though (no packaging). I have all the molds except Frankenstein.
Thanks for doing the reverse on the negatives. I remember you did that once before. It looks weird to me to see them in positive.

Here's my Creature coppersmith mold...

You mean the matrixes?

Damn! I wonder which rich monster collector now owns it?

I own an original Frankenstein copersmith from the early 60's,  I bought it at one of Morphy's earliest auctions,  it's actually a very bland blue almost generic type box, no graphics, that's just a window type box with Frankenstein printed on the ends to let you know what it is.
