that fm vp pin is haunting me

Cool seeing these ads again as it reminded me that I have one of those skull mugs! It's so old and I only used it to hold pens and pencils over the years that I had forgotten where it came from till I saw the ad above. Will get a pic up soon as I can.

[Count Zero]

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

So it looks like someone on Etsy is making the old pins. Pretty cool.

Not so cool if some unscrupulous seller tries to pass those off as original. Saw the site and they have cool stuff but on these repros they should have something added to state they are not originals!

[Count Zero]

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

Hey horror heads, I guess my presence was requested. I don't have much of this stuff in my bucket so I will have to look through the "junk pile" this weekend and see what I might have that hasn't been shown. I know I've got some stuff. In the mean time, here are a few non-magazine/comic monster photos.

 

This was a flea market purchase straight out of an old house. I don't collect monster stuff so these are are all gone now but I still have the photo.

 

[Jayman]

Welcome RM!

I had all of those 2 or 3 times over as a kid! Loved putting them together! That photo brings back fond memories, thanks for posting.

1963 Wolfman Soaky bottle. I think I still have this in one of my show boxes. I don't think I had this in my Halloween post last week over in my "obsession" thread.

 

 

 

[Robot Man]

Not technically a "monster" but a great toy that kinda fits in I think. I give you Great Garloo from 1962.

 

[Robot Man]

Also getting away from monsters but a little related. Anybody remember Nutty Mads? I've got all of them I think. Here is my favorite set.

[Count Zero]

[Jayman]

All gone except for one last shrunken (apple) head I still have!
