Toy-Ventures: Remco Monsters at Home

[RSS]

It's October and I'm going to talk about nothin' but Monster Toys and let's start with an underrated classic, the Remco Monsters at Home line. This series of Universal Monsters hand puppets were based on the Remco 9" Figures that came a few years before and rarely get the spotlight.

Man, I love your October posts!

You're right to point out part of the charm of these is their kid-friendly nature. Let's face it, monsters weren't all that scary as they were presented to kids back in the 70's Maybe it was because monsters were introduced to us through cheesy old B movies on Saturday afternoon Chiller Theater-like shows, but monsters weren't really that scary back in the 70's. Add in monsters in shows like Groovy Ghoulies and even Scooby Doo and monsters are scary enough to appeal to little boys, but not really the type of things to give us nightmares.

Those are very charming! Though, I don’t remember ever seeing them up to now, I do remember the Remco figure lines.

Looking forward to the following videos.

I like these, I recall seeing them at Kaybee Toys at our mall. I was surprised at the gillman, because though I had wave one of the Remco 9" monsters, I didn't yet know of wave two.
