I recently got a decent scan of this to ad to the Azrak Hamway Monster archive, it’s the mocked up Creature from the black lagoon figure on his looks to be hand drawn card. It’s hard to say what he’s constructed of, it almost looks like a converted Aurora Creature kit, either way I hope […]
These coffin shaped puzzles show that Monster Love was alive and well in ’75. I don’t own any of these but I’ve been sorely tempted at many a toy show/flea marker/antique mall.
Stumbled upon this great Captain Company ad for the Remco Monsters figures and well there’s no better time to showcase it than now. Also, I can also tease the fact that I’ll be showcasing some never before seen Remco Monster goodies this month, stay tuned….
I found this toy in the 1976 Larami catalog, I have no clue as to whether or not it was produced but it is something I will keep my eyes out for. It’s a pretty galling use of the Universal characters and I doubt it’s officially licensed in any way. That’s the joy that is […]
I can`t think of a better way to kick off a month of celebrating Halloween than a review of the new book `Too Much Horror Business`by Metallica s Kirk Hammet. For those not in the know, Hammet is known to be a voracious collector of all things horror and comic books. More after the jump… I […]
Followers of this site and blog will know that Collegeville is a favourite subject around here, that’s likely because I got a ton of these as a kid combined with the fact that they got some really cool licenses. This is a Canadian version of the Catalog (by a company called Norbin) and I highly […]
It wouldn’t be Halloween without me extolling the sweet virtue of Remco Mini Monsters, a line I love collecting. Above is a snippet from a 1980 Toys R Us flyer that will appear on the site before Christmas some time. I’ve been trying to find these guys on Canadian issue cards because that’s how I […]
It’s not October if we don’t discuss the AHI Monster dolls and we’ve got a couple of additions to the galleries starting with this killer variant of Frankenstein (courtesy of my pal the Kidd). I’ve never seen eyes like this one. Count Dracula alone was marketed in the UK in a window box, the rest […]
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?
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 […]
