I got the "Curse of Frankenstein" cover. I wanted the "Dracula" cover, too, but it's tough to spend another $16 just for the cover!

Thanks Mike!

Not "re-released", 'cause they are newly sculpted. There is also a Wolf Man and a Mummy.

Super 7 has been releasing a lot of cool Universal Monsters toys and other collectibles, the last couple of years.

The Creature is always the nicest collectable from any line of toys Millicent Patrick WE salute you.  She was a babe herself there are two beautiful creatures in this photo.

I misread your post. I thought it said you did pick it up. What it is, is reprints of old Hammer movie articles from the Warren FM years.

Did anyone pick-up the latest FMOF Ack-Ives? Worth picking up?

I stopped getting FM around issue 256 it just seemed to lose its way, however they are nice covers on the latest issues.

Being a Creature only collector, I'm forced to agree.  Probably because they never have to do a "generic" likeness to avoid paying an actor's estate.

I occasionally pick them up and saw the Drac cover in a Barnes and Noble that was awesome but damaged.

Unfortunately, I don't do models. There are a lot of cool Creature kits out there, but when you add the price of a garage kit model to what someone charges to build and paint it, it can run into the hundreds of dollars for just one kit! I did have someone do the 2 Aurora Creature kits for me, though.

We Monster kids were reared on glue fumes and paint smells (no that does not explain a lot) I was making my own from about the age of 7 .

I did them as a kid, too. I'm sure they looked terrible, with that glossy Testor's paint on them!

The reason why I collected the entire Universal Monsters 1/4 scale PFs and polystones. The Mummy PF is my favorite horror piece.

That's the AC powered one. Those are the hard to get/expensive ones. The little one (as well as the SSH one) are battery powered.

If you think that's bad I used Brown liquid boot polish on my Wolfman and he still looks great nearly 50 years later or at least until he is POLISHED off. (Ouch)
