Monsters,Creatures,Aliens
I have the type 1 & type 2 Mad monsters, & we all know the difference between those. But my question is, has anyone noticed two different types of t2 hands in the Mad Monsters? One set of hands has fingers close together, and another set has the fingers seperated... Does anyone know if one or the other is more rare, or why there are 2 different kinds, or has any info on this.... ?

Others could answer this better and with more confidence, but I believe that the T2 Mego Mad Monsters issued in solid boxes the mid 70s may have been a little different than the T2 Mego Lion rock Mad Monsters issued on bubble cards circa 1980, including the hands.

Not only are there variations with the hands...but I think both Franky and Wolfman came with variation boots on the last release Lion Rock cards. There is also a fur variation with the Wolfman. All of which are variations with Type 2 Monsters.

Yeah, that Stabilio character got me hooked on thinking I needed the squared off FrankenBoots. . . . and he was right.

^ It's a challenge....I have t1 & t2 Monsters, but not the unique hands or variant heads.
WANTED: RM Robin & P. Parker heads; Batman "waffle" gloves; mint Wolfman tights; Knights', Merry Men, Conan, & Dale Arden swords; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula head;T1 GGoblin body (in good shape but can restring); POTA Soldier Ape minty bandolier; yellow bridle & stirrups; POTA Stallion complete set of tack; Fighting Furies Spanish & Buccaneer outfits & boxed Hook.
Ah man! I'd never noticed the boot variation write-up before.
Great, I'm distracting myself here from this morning's surprise emergency tooth pain, and now THIS! </hyperbole>
Seriously though that's pretty neat. I have to keep an eye out for those. I have a standard glow T2 handed Drac (lion rock I guess?) and a split fingers Mummy (which would be the mego boxed guy) but need another two hand pairs myself of either type for my initial monster goals.
Why do so many of us have to have such good taste all at the same time?

I like the sculpt variants, but with the black hair...
Bry--did you find replacement eyes?
