It’s that time of year again, where I show off my neat o discoveries from the hobby of collecting memoribilia from the one season Saturday Morning show “Monster Squad“, not to be confused with the 80s movie. It’s been a big year for Squad stuff. More after the jump: Thanks to a great trade at […]
As much as I’d like to say I own this killer Collegeville Ultraman suit, I don’t. Fortunately for me, Corey volunteered some shots of his collection to the blog including the two variations of this classic suit, more after the jump. Above is the first version suit and smock, I don’t know why they chose […]
My love for the Aurora Monster model kits knows no bounds, I’ve bought and re bought them several times over during my life and I’m currently repairing the ones my kids and I did over the years. I thought it would be fun to go through some old timey ads where they could be purchased […]
I am not at all fond of Ventriloquist dummies but I am somewhat smitten with this Frankenstein version from the UK. Mostly because it’s really easy to drink a glass of water and go “Mrrrrrrrrrrrr”.
My pal Dan at the awesome website The Terror Trap (this is a timely month for a plug) sent over shots of his vintage Groovie Goolies PVC collection. As a lover of mock horror, these are just awesome to me. Not many Filmation shows got merchandising so it’s really nice to see how perfect these […]
Bill sent in this awesome shot of him getting choked by the Phantom of the Opera at Universal Studios, I’m assuming by the Fonzie shirts this is 1976ish. I rarely get Uni Monster appearance shots submitted, so I absolutely love this. Send me your mall appearance photos!
Tomland (a UK Company who was in the Marx family of companies) marketed these fun and strange 8 inch mego-like action figures under a variety of names but the best known is “Star Raiders” which were obviously meant to cash in on the renewed interest in Sci Fi thanks entirely to “Star Wars” coming on […]
It couldn’t get more obscure or joyous for me. Growing up, I LOVED Filmation’s post apocalyptic series “Ark 2“ with a passion. So i nearly did a spit take when I discovered this Halloween costume on the ebay. I would have fought tooth and nail for it but I was lucky enough to snag it […]
From the “I wish they made these now dept” come these cool mock horror shirts, adding funny captions to vintage horror pictures dates back to Famous Monsters magazine so it’s nice to see them getting a nod here but it’s pretty obvious whoever wrote the catalog copy wasn’t a reader: Which one is Dracula? Mom, […]
Lovin’ this selection of Party masks I found in a UK toy catalog, I’m assuming those are the Ben Cooper Universal Monsters masks being sold as a set without smocks, the things you learn!
