In no particular order...

Dracula: Sideshow 8" figure. Has yet to be topped IMO.

Frankenstein: Sideshow 12" Son of Frankenstein. Love the headsculpt, paints, and outfit on this figure.

Wolfman: Hasbro 12" figure. Still the best Wolfman headsculpt after 16 years.

Mummy: Aurora model kit. Best Mummy sculpt ever.

Creature: EMCE 8" figure. Very close to perfect.

Phantom: EMCE 8" figure. Absolute perfection.

Phantom- Can't go wrong with Remco 9" Figure
Dracula- Sideshow 8"

Some of my favs in no particular order

Remco Mini Monsters. The Glow ones are beyond cool.
Toy Island Universal Monsters. A very under-rated wonderfully sculpted and articulated line that got loads of undeserved hate.
Aurora models.
Emce/Diamond Mego style Universal Monsters
Playmates Monster Force

My favorites have to be the 3.75" Remco Monsters... Not that I consider them the best, but I have fond memories attached to them.

I am young enough to have enjoyed them when I was little, back when my parents picked up a bundle of them to give away as prizes at a Halloween themed party they threw. It was just too cold outside to go trick-or-treating, so they invited all of their friends to bring their kids over to play games.

I remember that they randomly put together a bunch of stuff. Placed them in paper bags which had the tops folded over and stapled shut, so no one would know exactly what they were getting. I remember in one of the bags everything was a Halloween themed... coloring books with small pack of crayons, stickers, comics, vampire fangs,1 Remco monster figure, and a handful of candy. I even remember that the Dracula went to my future brother in law for winning a pin the jack-o-lantern smile on the pumpkin game... I got a glow in the dark Creature... although I'm not sure I won anything. I can't remember that part. I mainly remember being jealous over losing out on Dracula.

Sentimental vote is for Mad Monster solid box Wolfman.

The Sideshow: Lon Chaney 12" figure is very well done.

I love the 12" Sideshow figures (and I'm a sucker for silver screen), but I only have 3! That needs to be remedied.

I love those drinking glasses from the ?60's?
I think they were sold at gas stations!
also I saw some candles on ebay once... should have bought them as I've never seen them again anywhere.

[toys2cool]

probably the imperial set I had in the 80's
