Here's my Creature coppersmith mold...

Sweet! Wait, that's the mold/matrix? It looks like copper.

Hey Mike!  Unfortunately I don't own it any more,  sold it years ago,  I'm not sure, but between the 2 duel sets, I believe that Creature and Wolfman is the rarer of the two.

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.

Yeah, it's only interesting for what it is, not for how it looks.

That's just the lighting making it look golden. It's the thick black plastic mold/matrix. Here's a copper impression I made from it...

                           Universal Monsters - Candy Boxes - Phoenix Candy Company, 1963 - A



                           Universal Monsters - Candy Boxes - Phoenix Candy Company, 1963 - B


These empty candy/toy boxes are quite rare and seemingly impossible to find in excellent condition.  They command high prices.  I've seen individual back panels sell for as much as $100.00.

                            FRANKENSTEIN - Game - Target - Large - 19 in. x 19 in. - Hasbro, 1963

These target games were issued in two sizes, 19" x 19" and 12" or 13" square.  They are basically a carboard box, so finding them in good condition is a bit difficult - and expensive.


Some of the 60's monster toys can be very scarce and pricey.

                               FRANKENSTEIN - Pencil Sharpener - ABG - 1964 - (All Colors)

The popular ABG Universal Monsters Pencil Sharpeners are a difficult challenge for the completists among us.  The hardest to find are the Frankenstein sharpeners.  (I have never seen an Orange one for sale on eBay.  I got mine through a trade with another UMA member.)

Trading card collectors buy those as well. I hate cross-collectibles! More competition.

Hey, I recognize those boxes.😉

Id love to find a Frank sharpener in any color.

Here's a toy from the 1965 that you don't see too often. Me and my sister had these as a kid. It's the Show 'N Tell from G.E. You listen to the record as you watch the color images from the slides being projected onto the plastic TV. They made a lot of Disney sets, and some superheroes, but also Frankenstein and Dracula. Here's my Frankenstein pack. Inside is the record and slides...

Wow, Monolith, cool!  I'm assuming these are pretty rare?

It seems like Frankenstein and Dracula are probably the two hardest to find. I just looked on e-bay and there is one Frankenstein for a buy it now of $30 plus shipping, no Dracula, though.

I'll check it out. Thank you.
