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 […]
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 […]
No real direction today, just a bunch of different things that didn’t seem to fit anywhere else, above is an early 80s ad for a costume company called Topstone. I’m not really all that familiar with them but I know there are collectors out there. For Maxx Fx Fans, here is a 1989 article (click […]
Mattel relaunched their popular Thing Makers from the 60s in a new version that wouldn’t permanently scar you (seriously I know people with scars).This commerical from our DVD is kind of bittersweet for me, the happy part is realizing that it’s narrated by Jackie “Uncle Fester” Coogan. but I’m also reminded how quickly I was […]
Some Terrific new additions to the AHI Monsters Gallery today, starting with this carded Frankenstein, I can’t tell you how smitten I am with this guy, he rules. The Bendy Mummy is by far the hardest one to find, even eclipsing the Creature from the Black Lagoon, which is usually the hardest to come by […]
By 1983, Remco had put down their utility belts and picked up some swords but never actually straying from their comic book licensing ties. Their long relationship with Marvel comics made them a natural to market the action figures based on their Crystar comic series , also announced were a series of figures based on […]
This Star Wars race set may be pushing it a little when it comes to licensing but there is something oddly appealing about it as well. I think I like the Giant Vader and Luke Skywalker heads, which just seem kind of wrong…. Halloween Ad of the Day: This one is for the Mego World’s […]
Did these ever see release? This ad is the first time I’ve heard of them but it seemed that Amsco was about ten years ahead of the Madballs trend. Not only do you get Superheroes and Monsters but Planet of the Apes as well. The cards for these are fantastic, if anybody knows if they […]
I am smitten with this great Planet of the Apes publicity shot, this would not happen today…
