What was your 1st monster toy?

[Gaberax]

Palmer Monster's Frankenstein, Creature, Wolfman were the first I had that I remember that I actually had.  My cousin had the Revell models of the Creature, King Kong, Wolfman, Dracula and Forgotten Prisoner (all put together, painted and displayed) that I always wanted and admired.

  It wasn't a "monster toy", per se.  but it has a definite connection.  When I was in grammar school, the absolute RAGE were MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. trading cards.  There would be five cards and one stick of gum per pack.  I remember that there were 103 cards in the whole set.

But if you're talking about the Topps set that was distributed in the U.S. and Canada, it consisted of only 55 cards.

My oldest sister bought me the Creepy Crawlers set one Christmas.  She knew I wanted one BAD!  She first gave me a "fake" present to open, which turned out to be an old vinyl album that featured some woman describing how to do Yoga.  My family said the look on my face was priceless!  Anna quickly handed me the "real deal", which was the CC Thingmaker set.  I was thrilled!

Man, I STILL got the scars from the hotplate !!! LOL!! You had to be a BADASS to survive the 60s and 70s as a MonsterKid!!

[Unknown Primate]

Yep!  I saw a modern version of the hotplate, and it was WEAK!  Can't get away with that stuff these days - wimps!!!

The first Monster toy I remeber buying was a "Haunted Hulk" playset by Marx.  It was a ship with plastic monsters that could float in our pool.

The first one I can remember is my AHI frankenstein jiggler. But I also remember before that when i was 4 or 5 my dad had gotten a aurora glow wolfman from somewhere.(probably in a box of junk at an auction) and kept it way up on the fridge in the box. I used to stare up at it wanting to see it built up. I remember begging him to put it together and he always said we would get around to it. Well we never did. And it dissapeared. So recently I just bought a crudely painted one with its box 30 something years later and am currently in the process of taking it apart reglueing  and repainting it. It is something I've wanted to do since I was A little boy. And the memory stuck with me so I feel like a kid again as I put together a piece of my childhood.(and I just bought two more aurora glow kits partially built frankenstein and the phantom) I can't wait!

Hello again Lester! That monster magnet is really something!  My first monster item was the Aurora Frankenstein too!   Buddy

Very sad.

Anyone remember Trolls?  I had a red-headed one that I dressed in a white handkerchief.  With her hair standing on end, and a few streaks of WHITE OUT on each side, she didn't look half bad.
