    REMCO Mini-Monsters Catalog re-creation!

    My non-glow Remco Wolfman showed up today, and I promptly set about recreating the vintage Christmas catalog AD we all loved!

    I added a few bits of my own text and the Remco logos, but the layout is basically the same...and check out those 1980 prices!

            Home run, dude! That's great. Thus seriously could be a thing. I could see you selling photographs at cons.

              Those are so well done. They must have been instant classics. I remember them from 1980, but was never a “Monsters” guy. So, it’s saying something when I think they’re awesome!

              Very nicely executed, Dwayne! Looks like that was a lot of fun to pull off.

                Nice! To this day my favorite Universe Monsters toy line.
                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...

                        ^Thanks. I just got blasted on FB for committing the unforgivable sin of opening a sealed vintage play case and carded figures. A couple people went ballistic.

                          I find their reaction both sad and funny, not to mention entitled. I've opened so many "valuable" toys. Big deal, it's not a MOC Lizard, Green Goblin, or Iron Man.

                            ^Yep. The way I see it, in 100 years we'll all be dead and our precious toys will be in a landfill somewhere, so I'm gonna enjoy them however I want.

                            I'm not going to alter my collecting habits based on what other people find valuable. Star Wars collectors (some) are the worst. They go freaking ape if you open a figure.

                              Off topic but recently i opened an AHI planet of the Apes item and posted it. I mentioned that the gears became stuck when i tried to operate it.

                              Some guy and he's like one of maybe two people I've banned from the plaidstallions page just screams "ONLY AN IDIOT LIKE YOURSELF WOULD DESTROY A PRICELESS PIECE! THEY SHOULD TAKE YOURS AWAY". I totally triggered this guy to the point of frothing. It was interesting.
