Hey, found this guy at an estate sale this morning. Any of you monster heads know what it is? He's big--2 feet tall and made of plaster. I'm guessing 70's:

Also, I got these over the weekend. One is a transformer and the other is marked Tonka 1983. Who are these guys?

Hmmmm....

The Transformer is Metroplex. He turns into a city. (Sort of.) The thing next to him is a GoBot; Zod, I think.

I'm more interested in whether or not thats an original Replacements cassette in the background of the Transformer...

Ha Ha! Yeah man, I've had that tape since '85. Sh*t Hits The Fans, cassette only live thingy. It's a gas.

I'm not 100% sure, but Frankie looks like an ESCO statue.

Oh, I see a Lync cassette. I dig the K records/Olympia stuff from the 90'S too!
(just thought I'd add my 2 cents since the toys were already identified)

Ha Ha Ha! You guys are killing me. Yeah, Sam from Lync sent that tape to me sometime back in the mid 90's.....

Thats not an Esco Frank. I'm pretty sure thats a Mexican statue you would paint yourself, or find painted. These were made into lamps etc.Some folks know the details about these guys. But i'm pretty sure this one is a Mexican Frank.

Still very cool and desirable.

Thanks, creepyhead. The dude I bought it from said he picked it up at a flea market 25+ years ago from someone connected to the movie Carnival Of Souls (I live in Kansas where some of COS was filmed)...

It's a really cool piece. It's not marked anywhere that I can see. The paint job is pretty good. Do you know estimated value, by chance?
