Rapco Monster Love
It wouldn’t be October without me droning on about how cool these are and followed by my whining as to why I don’t own them. Why break tradition?
Fun with Glow in the Dark
Glow in the dark was always a selling feature for me as a kid, it really gave toys some extra play value, especially anything related to monsters. So i thought it would be fun to turn out the lights and see these things in action. Above are the Remco Mini Monsters and there is more incandescent toy […]
Monster Bendy Mystery
I picked up these little guys on Ebay UK (a lot of wonderful strangeness comes out of the UK for some reason) and while I’ve never seen or heard of them before, they did look oddly familiar… More after the jump While not licensed it’s pretty obvious that these two were based on the Mego […]
Cool Collections: John’s Monsters
I LOVE it when folks share their collections with me, especially when it’s stuff near and dear to my heart like Monster toys. John was kind enough to give us a peak into his lair today and it’s a drool worthy assortment of old and new, more after the jump. If you dare! A lot […]
Monster Squad Gallery Updates
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 […]
Costume of the Week: Ultra-Man
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 […]
Aurora Monsters on Sale
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 […]
Automatonophobia
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”.
Everbody Shout!
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 […]
Some Universal Monster Madness
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!
