    Does Type 2 Mad Monsters Frankenstein Have Different Boots?

    Does the type 2 have different boots than the type 1? I recently purchased a type 2 Frank and the boots don't match the type 1 Mad Monsters figures.

        After the monsterthon last year that Bryan had (I spent all my savings on the blue hair frankenstein and red hair dracula) - I then sought all the other variations. There seems to be 2 different type 2 variations - As far as I know the one with the different boots is a Lion Rock

            Yeah, I have a solid boxed T2 Frankie and he has the standard boots. I'm guessing the later carded ones from 1980 had the Lion Rock boots, along with other differences.

              The Type 2 Mego MM have the same boots as the Type 1 MM. The Lion Rock Wolfman and Frankenstein have different boots than the Mego T1 and T2 MM. Lion Rock Monsters also have different hands than the T2 Mego MM. LR Monsters use standard Mego hands molded in glow plastic. T2 Mad Monsters have unique hands with spread apart fingers molded in glow plastic. All the T2 Mego Monsters share the same hands. There are no hairy T2 Wolfman hands.
              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...

                Thought I would share a group picture (I still need a Type 2 - non Lion Rock Wolfman - If anyone has one they would like to sell - then my quest would be complete )

                    The MM hand debate is enduring, it seems. My boxed T2 Frank had standard glow hands; I've never seen the more unique sculpted versions.

                    And so many variations! I'm searching for LR Dracula & Mummy heads in unique vinyl colors.

                        Does anyone have pix of the unique sculpted hands of Mego T2 monsters? They're not even in the Galleries--only standard T2 hands in glow plastic.

                              I really need to update the Museum entries on these. I get so mixed up at every MegoMeet as to what Monsters I have/don't have.
