    Separated at Birth? A Monster Mystery



    These bendy little monsters arrived this week, I grabbed them because they looked very familiar to me. I've seen these faces before.


    Can't put my finger on it but it seems like I know these guys.


    I have to put these guys in a bag with a bounce sheet for a few weeks, it seems in England they had quite the smoking habit.

    Anyway, I don't know anything about these two but their inspiration right down to the outfits and expressions seem pretty obvious. They only say made in Hong Kong which doesn't help much except to say they likely weren't made recently. Anybody here have any insight on them?

      I can't believe they even used the same colors ...

      Could they have been made my Mego themselves and only released in the UK ?

        I'd be more willing to accept that if they had the same body style as the other Bend N Flex characters Mego put out.

            Those are wicked! Never seen them before. Too cool.
            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...

              Wow, what a find! Another mystery that will probably never be completely solved. But that's what makes it so much fun.

                  Frankie even has the bolts in his head on the bendie? Too weird.

                      Look at the eyebrows. Drac has the exaggerated Spock look, and Frankie has large caterpillars living on his forehead.
