Happy to showcase these weird little figures, produced in 1979 by a UK company called Tomland (under the umbrella of Marx) these stylin’ mini monsters were based on my beloved Lincoln International Monsters. I don’t know why and I honestly don’t care, I’m just pleased that they were. Tomland made their own 8″ versions of […]
From the “parents just don’t understand” file, I bring you a 1980 report crapping on a toy that any ten year old knows to be awesome, Gre-Gory the Vampire bat. The group questioned it’s play value? It’s big bat filled with blood, do I need to spell it out for you? I can’t go a […]
It’s been over a year since I unveiled the web page to my obsession with collecting things related to the 1976 Saturday morning series “The Monster Squad” and I’m happy to report that I have some new additions, a couple of which I had no idea existed until I found them: Finally unearthed a pair […]
Some more vintage Halloween submissions for our contest, starting by this one submitted by Austin (Megowgsh on the forum) and it’s future in-laws and wife as Spider-Man, Mighty Isis and Bionic Woman respectively. That’s a triple helping of Ben Cooper goodness right there. Harris from the great blog Negative Pleasure sent in this fun mash […]
Monogram really did create a monster when they reissued these classic Aurora Monster kits in 1983, unfortunately that monster was me and I still get crazy whenever I see these. I hope these kits never stop being reissued.
I was denied this as a child but I remember friends having this wonderful kit and as you’d expect from something with Vincent Price’s face on the box, it was a high quality item. Talk about timely, Jody sent in the picture for our Halloween contest of her latest yard sale score. I go to […]
Mike sent in these little bits of greatness from 1973 (Batman) and 1971 (Splits) , I miss store bought costumes…. Still time to enter our Halloween Contest, send your vintage Halloween pics or Monster collections on down to me here and you’re in.
Cheating a bit here as this item came out slightly before the 1970s but I’ve always been fascinated with Aurora kits and this wonderful item in particular. Basically it’s a super deformed version of Boris Karloff and to my surprise, this wasn’t a hit when released in the mid 1960s. I’m guessing the $6.49 price […]
I can’t go a Halloween season without extolling the virtue of this fun line of Action figures by 70s giant Mego. Despite not having the license to the Universal characters Mego created a truly fun set of Monster toys that embody the spirit if not the look of their silver screen counterparts. The packaging and […]
