The Universal Monsters Toy Line You Never Had...

[Megotu]

I always wanted the 4 inch Remco monsters and Castle CarryCase. Never got none of em. And yet, I haven't really pursued them as a grownup. Some expense based avoidance for the most part. The times I have looked at them they went for about a c-note altogether and when I am not paying attention, they go for 10 bucks. I think it's a conspiracy.

I had none as a kid, didn't even know they existed. I learned about these a couple of years ago and have done pretty well in collecting them

I saw the entire set of figures carded go for about $188 on eBay this weekend. This is probably a tougher time of year to purchase these figures because it is close to Halloween and more people become interested in that line.

The Remco mini monsters are really nice. Terrific sculpts and likenesses for for the time considering the small scale. Very cool line. One of my favs.

I had Frankenstein but gave it to my little cousin who wanted him....I felt i was out growing them and couldn't say no to my cuz. My mom rewarded me for not being selfish at the time..... I've been thinking of trying to get him back into my collection.

I've said this elsewhere, but I had a friend up the street who had some of these and the playset. I loved playing with those, far more than he did. In fact he got frustrated that I always wanted to play those, and not something else. He didn't have a Creature, so we used his Greedo from Star Wars!

I never had the remco monsters either although I thought they were neat at the time. I was really obsessed with Universal horror at the time too, wonder what my deal was?

I never even saw them when they first came out, but by that point I was getting too old for toys anyway. That was during that small period of time between me playing with toys and collecting them, and at that time I wouldn't be caught dead cruising the toy aisles. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally "discovered" them as an adult.

I totally dig the stuff that came out from Burger King a while back. Great sculpts, and accessories too.

I bought a set of those for my kids two years back, they loved them!

My dad always told me; "Never buy fishing tackle in the summer, wait until it goes on sale in January..." Same thing goes for monster stuff; Never buy it around Halloween...

My son loves the Burger King set I gave him. He was so into it, I got him a Jakks Wolfman and Dracula last year, which he also loves.

I've got the playset and all the figures but can't seem to find the monsterizer accessory that sold seperately at the time. JOHN
