    Wow, I never knew about these at all. Looks like the figures are hard plastic, like the early releases in the later Team America line, which also reused the Evel concept.

    I guess the Universal Monsters never really died out through the 70s, but there definitely seemed to be an extra push toward decades end.

        Wow, I've never heard of these either! I definitely would have wanted them if I was aware of them as a kid. Great find!

          That Bone Shaker must be one bad dude to ride around on a pink motorcycle. I just hope Dracula is riding his at night and not during the day.

            These are very cool. I hope to own a set one of these days. I hope Drac is wearing a cup!!!

            That must be a mock-up of the box because they looked nothing like that.

            Here are shots of the actual boxes. (Not mine, I "borrowed" these pics from the UMA)

              Cool, thanks for the actual box pics. If I may ask, what is the "UMA"? (Universal Monsters Association? )

                Universal Monster Army, an invaluable resource for monster toys in general and Universal Monsters in particular.

                  Wow, they went really compact with those boxes didn't they?
