MONDO CREATURE/REVENGE OF CREATURE AND....OTHERS.

I never took my Sideshow figures out of the box because they display well that way

But you can't see 'em.

Really? I think they look good in the box. Sideshow figures are excellent and so is their packaging.

Yeah, if you prop the lid open, but that's kind of awkward. Window boxes are much better.

I agree, I prefer window boxes to door boxes as well. But, for door boxes the Sideshow ones look good.

That's because they used all the original poster art! 

[Doh!]

I remember $40 6-inch figures. Good times...

If you're talking about Sideshow, they were 8" and started at $15!

Then first Sideshow 8" I bought were Frankenstein Monster, Mummy, and Wolfman at TRU for $8 each. Now THOSE were the days!

at TRU for $8 each.

Just quotin' the MSRP! Your store's discount may vary.

I know.

In 1998 when they first came out they were $10 or less at most stores. I couldn't believe monster toys that looked that good were that cheap. I bought 2 of each, one set to open and display like statues and one set to leave sealed. I still have them and still display the loose ones on my shelves.

Does seem like the first ones I bought (at TRU) were $10.

Careful posing your Creatures fellas. His suit isn't indestructible, as someone at SSF forums discovered, sadly.

Damn, that was quick.

Actually, I just looked and the 12" Sideshow Frank was only $20 bucks -- crazy!

We thought they'd never end! (But they did.)

The funny part is: we were complaining about the "inflated srp" back then. I remember it all too well. I was probably in the chorus,lol.
