I have to applaud Ideal Toys for spinning the monster makeup kit concept to Superheroes and not just including Hulk and Spider-Man but the Thing as well as being smart enough to include She-Hulk and Spider-Woman on the box.
I am not sure why I don’t own a Funstuf Frankenstein. This catalog is from the UK, where they decided to pass on Dracula for some odd reason… 1980 Funstuf Catalog
While Kenner was scrambling to make Star Wars action figures, Ben Cooper got Star Wars costumes out for 1977. Two weeks after Halloween, I doubt it mattered…..
Imperial made the 1980s more fun by laying out some truly inspired Godzilla merchandise from the insane bubble blowing bong to the more logical PVC Godzilla. I still have mine that I purchased 30 (sigh!) years back, it followed through every dorm room/crappy apartment and is still kicking!
Sure, it’s a total King Kong rip off but at the same time, it’s an accurate description as to where he was produced. Get our book “Rack Toys” at our shop!

It’s October and that means you get two podcasts, both devoted to scary subjects. Episode 35 is dedicated to that TV sensation of the 1970s, the amazing phenom that was Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Jason and Brian discuss the TV Movies, the subsequent series and all the amazing influence this show had. We also debate […]
Here’s a bit of weirdness from Canada, I actually remember finding one of these in the 80s. Halloween distributor Norben released a series of low cost Star Trek cape and mask sets using what I guess is some Ben Cooper masks from the first movie. It’s a pretty low rent affair complete with a card […]
As we are both lovers of Monster Cinema or some call it “Creature Features” it makes sense for J and B to count down their top ten favourite Monster movies. By favourite, we do not mean “best” or greatest, just our personal favourites. Our top tens vary wildly which makes for an interesting discussion, Jason […]
