More Rack Toys

With Halloween appraoching, it seemed like a great time to showcase all the little additions I have for the various Rack Toy pages on the site. It's all about the Monsters this week.


Above is a carded Azrak Hamway Frankenstein, later issue than the one previously featured on the site, the card now includes Dracula (and sadly, deep sixes the Creature). The doll no longer has a green body or a shirt. As crude as this is, I am really smitten with this one it looks like a guy wearing a Frankenstein Halloween mask.


This is an early version of the Mummy, he's kind of got a skirt going on with those bandages. Dig the blood all over him, he's been a busy boy.


This is an AHI jointed wrist Frankenstein, showing off his ability. He needs a jacket to be complete.

I'm normally not a big Dracula guy but I totally love this Bendy by AHI. Bendy figures are a weakness of mine and this guy also kind of resembles the Dracula puppet in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".

Another Bendy from AHI, this time it's the Wolfman, a favorite character of mine. These things are not only adorable but totally addictive. If anybody has the Mummy or the Creature for sale, drop me a line.

This young lady was apparently marketed as a "victim" to go along with the Lincoln Monsters by a catalog company. One of my sources believes it was the Harriet Carter Catalog, anybody remember or possibly have a scan?

Finally, we have a variant of the Lincoln Phantom of the Opera, I am really fond of this one because it's the same version I had as a kid. The other version has ripped sleeves and lacks the ruffles, the Phantom was a better dresser in my eyes. I'm also pretty positive this is the same figure I owned but stupidly sold in the eighties, the battered card it came on looks awfully familiar.

That AHI Frankie head really is a good likeness of Karloff from Son of Frankenstein. Of course it looks A LOT like the Aurora model kit, since the original head used the same sculpt, right?

The Lincoln Frankie looks kind of like a pre-school Monster. Love the Phantom's swelled noggin!

That Mummy figure makes you wonder if the blood was meant as a decoration, or the remnants of a horrible accident at the factory!!!

To be honest I'm not really into the whole "Monster Thing" that big but these figures are really nice examples of that type of toys...very minty! As a vintage toy dealer I have had a few of these here & there over the years. I love to find them because they sure sell really well. But, come to think of it, I haven't seen any for quite awhile....dang eBay!
