Funstuff produced several “Aniform” figures of characters like the Incredible Hulk and the Universal Monsters. This rare promotional sheet shows the original packaging which was later altered. Funstuf also released a Dracula but I don’t have that piece Click on the images to see a larger view of the sell sheet.
I’ve uncovered a few sales ads for the AHI “World Famous Super Monsters” one of the more prolific and collectable Universal licensed items produced in the 1970s. The one is from K Mart in 1976, where apparently the line is getting closed out, it’s also a Valentines day sale, weird… Here’s another clearance ad, not […]
What a tough choice kids had in 1979, smooth as glass spy James Bond or those “Whacky” Village People? In 1979 it was an honest dilemma, now those pictures look like different sections of an adult video store. “I’d get the biker son, he looks tough, that Roger Moore is a cissy!”Please tell me that […]
This is an ad from Canadian Tire of all places and I totally remember it, these guys were in my stocking one Christmas. Originally they were made by Azrak Hamway (AHI) . The three figures included a suspiciously familiar “Rex Dinosaur”, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and King Kong, each shot sparks from it’s […]
A tradition in my house every October is Monster Model day, where I get the kids together and we paint a couple of Aurora reissues and use them as our centerpiece for the month. Above is last years, I had a lot of trouble finding kits locally so I actually bought this years kits when […]
Lou sent in this cool shot of his sister, which he says is it is from a haunted house across from where “Bugs Bunny Meets the Superheroes” was playing. Dig her cool Wonder Woman shirt. We don’t get enough Monster encounters here, this is only our second one. Come on People! Send us your Mall […]
No, not the 1987 movie but the original 1976 Saturday Morning Series that really helped my love for Monsters in general. The show has precious little web presence and I’m honestly surprised how much merchandise I discovered, so I’ve created a little gallery to showcase it all. It’s all here and there may be a […]
Imperial Toy Corporation made (and still makes) terrific rack toys but the ultimate Halloween item has to be the rubber bat. It’s almost an institution unto itself and one tradition that we still insist upon in the PS household (which we never refer to it as) Check out our Rack Toys Galleries for more Monster […]
Oh this Imagineering stuff makes me crazy, it’s really hard not to go spend hundreds on Ebay when you see ads like this. The pretend blood was schoolyard magic…
The Gigantics kits by Fundimensions are one of the coolest model kit concepts EVER! In 1975, fundimensions went to back to 1950s cinema with a series of giant insects attacking urban areas. I somehow missed these when they were first released, only discovering them in the mid 1980s when I grabbed the wasp kit at […]
