Count Zero

I was just waiting in anticipation for the monkey to bite someone being a florida native... it just ads to the hilarity of it all of course the little guys were being shipped from here

those were great stories thanks for the link wombat!

everytime I've found an aurora monster kit in the wild... it's been way over priced... The one time I did find a decent priced Dracula kit... It was missing the ring

couple more pieces from my collection

Great ad. Love the derogatory NY comment! Again, like the Aurora monster models, I had all of these too! Great memories! I know a board member who is re collecting these, maybe he will share some pics.

I have the original store display diorama for Monster Scenes sitting in my living room. Sadly I have no camera with which to take a photo of it. oh man... that's gotta be awesome

woah that stuff looks great wombat! I was not aware that dark horse was putting that stuff out... thanks for the heads up! any ben cooper fans or collectors here? i passed up on an opportunity to pick up one of these memorial day weekend out at webster flea market.... next time... next time

you know what? out of all the ads in horror mags... I'm still really curious about this one have you or anyone one know ever purchased a monkey from one of these advertisements? maybe a friend of a friend got one... was this for real?

anyone have one?

is that vincent price?

that is terrifying! very creepy

great stuff robot man! seriously can't wait to see what else you unearth

man, those universal monster soaky bottles always make jaw drop! especially wolf man & creature... don't get me wrong, frankie & mummy are amazing too

Cool! I have a love/hate relationship with reproductions... I love that there are quality reproduction items out there for cheap... On the other hand, I'm nervous about it too! For example, I collect retro game cartridges. Some of these carts can be very tough to find and even tougher to find in nice condition for a reasonable price. There have been a lot of repros flooding the market lately and sometimes they can be very tough to identify if not listed as such. My approach has been the same for when used to collect transformers. I look for signs of "play" If the toy or cart looks too good to be true then it's probably a repro. Most original carts and toys will have visible signs of play... and when shopping online it can sometimes be tough to identify these via photos and misleading descriptions anyways, for me... I want the original... I want the real deal... that's just me though I love finding this stuff in the wild... That would be my perfered method

I've always loved reading and drooling over the ads in the monster mags... still to this day I meticulously inspect each ad page when I come across one in a mag looking forward to seeing that skull mug Jay

that fm vp pin is haunting me

i would have liked this to make it past 2 issues

here is something neat I picked up awhile back friday the 13th jason hockey mask lights these were distributed to video stores in order to help promote for the film these babies are still unopened after all these years

got any of these jimmers?

don't draculas float? maybe that 0.01% was floated on I would love to own a full set of these! Especially that Vampi patch
