Monster Squad Gallery Updates

[RSS]

It's that time of year again, where I show off my neat o discoveries from the hobby of collecting memoribilia from the one season Saturday Morning show "Monster Squad", not to be confused with the 80s movie. It's been a big year for Squad stuff. More after the jump:







Thanks to a great trade at the Mego forums, I managed to find not only a Bruce W. Wolf bendy figure.



but a carded Dracula as well, he's the most off model of the bunch but I don't have the heart to take him off the card. These were made by Carlin Playthings, who made them into weird little necklaces and even though they don't have the license, it's obivous who they're supposed to be.

I had a Wolfman costume before but not one in a box with the show logo. I got this from the collection of Dr Shocker himself, actor Daniel Roebuck.

I also finally added a kid's Dracula costume to the collection, I found the adult one a few times but never this. Sadly this example smells like it's been dwelling in a damp basement filled with kitty litter and old socks. It was discordant even trying to take this photo....

That's all for this year's Monster Squad Gallery updates, hopefully next year will bring even more!

I really need to get the DVD and try this show out. I'm sure my kids would love it. They've really discovered the Munsters this year and can't get enough.

The paint scheme on that Dracula looks more like Frankenstein! I guess those belt buckles are the real dead giveaway!

As for the stinky Dracula costume, may I suggest...garlic?

Fun Stuff! Good times for Saturday morning television.

Wow!!! A Bruce W. Wolf Bendy! Had no idea...cool stuff!

That is hardcore-awesome. A clincial study needs to be done: Endorphins released by looking at vintage toys and Halloween costumes.

Thx for posting.

You know that if Drac was off the card you'd totally wear that necklace! Good stuff indeed!

Hey B, have you seen the Monster Squad van that Jeepers Creepers has in the market place? He's in Ontario, maybe something you'd be interested in?

Besides Fred Grandy, are Michael Lane, Henry Polic and Buck Kartalian "famous"? I mean, do they do conventions or has anyone sought them out for interviews about the show? It seems the show had a lot of famous guest-villains ala Batman.

Appreciate it but I'm only after a carded one right now.

Buck was Julius in Planet of the Apes, he does shows in fact I've met him. However, I didn't make the Bruce connection at the time (this was the 90s) and he wasn't displaying any Monster Squad photos, a missed opportunity.

Henry Polic had a great career including being the voice of the scarecrow for Batman TAS, I have never seen him at a show though. Michael Lane was a wrestler and a character actor, I assume he's retired. I should probably write to these people....

Thanks for that info Brian. Yes, you should. They might be surprised Monster Squad has a following.

Oh wow, fun stuff, Brian. I'd love to spend a day with your horror collection
