      Yeah, almost got me. Those would have been a must have if ever made!

        If you had not posted these before, I would have totally bought it. It's so hard to totally capture the look and feel of something like this, especially with AHI's "naive" art and sculpting, but you nailed it. What 70s kid wouldn't have loved these?

        And as impractical as they seem, 10 years later these could have been released with the Monster Squad film and would have kind of made sense, when both Dracula and especially poor Frankenstein make a hasty retreat from a moving airplane!

          Those are great! Good looking card art. I think a high gloss paint would have really fooled me.

            I only have matt gloss here, I think in the future I'm going to change that.

              You killed it! Bwahahahaha. 'Nuff posting and more recording. It's nearly October 2nd and still no Halloween podcast.
              If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                Lol, that's awesome. Great work.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  Ah, so that's why you were scouring the earth for parachute guys. They turned out really cool, kudos, AHI really should have made these. I never even thought about it before, but now I can't believe they didn't do them.

                      I'd buy 'em. That Mummy in particular looks great, good job! With all of these companies making retro this and repro that, I'd completely flip if someone made something like this complete with old school AHI style backer cards and all for purchase.

                        Nice work! Who didn't love pitching one of their favorite parachutists above as a kid...

                          They look awesome. Also, I for one would giggle like a madman to see a Jack Klugman custom parachutist. :D
                          It's all good!

                              They look so perfect that they almost trigger false memories of seeing these in childhood.
