Mail Order Monsters

[Dr.Cyclops]

I see that someone posted pics of the sub, so here's the X-1 Rocket Ship

Love that X-1, Street Worm. Thanx for the pix.

Great picture! And somehow the kids aren't mortified by the cheapness of the rocket ship's cardboard construction.

It says right in the ad that the rocket "seats one kid". Put in two and the walls blow out and you have a space catastrophy!

Those are classics. Wasn't there a build a life-size robot too?

[Street Worm]

I've seen various versions of this ad for a monster robot where they sen you the plans for a $1.00



I have vague memories of a cardboard robot costume I had, but it didn't look like that one-
and had no 'secret controls'.

Secret fun spot has a bit on the Honor House tank-

STILL NO ONE EVER ORDERED THIS THING???

[Monster Bob]

I never ordered this because I had been ripped off on monster mail order before, and figured they were just going to tell me to tape some boxes together to make a robot, and I already knew how to do that!

I want to know what the darn thing looks like. I settle for a photocopy of the darn thing. 35 years looking for this and nothing??? One guy who claims he has one is being such a  weird person about it. I think he thinks I am going to make a fortune off the darn thing. I even offered him the marx haunted house as a trade for a copy off his original, but he comes with the excuse he can't find it. The funny thing when he saw the one that I own in Mail Order Mysteries he said hey I got those plans but mine has a kid inside, he did not know I was looking for it. He even knew where he had them at the time. He said it was in his drawer next to his bed... EVeryone I spoke with said at the market said he was a strange kind of guy.

I created my own plans with aluminum paint and a balloon/paper mache helmet ... paper cups at ear level

Awesome costume!

That is the reproduction used for Kirks flip. Kirk did a great job here a 10 stars for him.

I bought it through Scary Monsters Magazine along with the Flip DVD after it came out in 2004. Check out Flip if you haven't already. It's made for us Monster Kids.
