1979 Universal Monster Lunchbox (America and Canada version)

[Spawn67]

I had this lunchbox in 2nd grade. I got it after my Star Wars lunchbox. ...True story I can remember clear as day seeing about 30 of these on display (along with many others) at our local toys r us !!!!

Just picked the metal one up. I need the thermos.

Pretty sweet toy room setup.Do you have your collection pics in another thread?

[mizzoujedi]

I still have the thermos, but the lunchbox is gone.

I had this lunchbox, and my friend that we took to school looked at the Mutant and said "Look, his head looks like a butt with cracks in it!" We laughed the rest of the way to school.

^Me, too! Glad to have this pointed out. Good to see Erik on it again, also.

The generic Dracula is terrible but I do admire it for being one of the few times they got the Bride's hair color right.

[Marvelmania]

Love those and they look amazing! Congrats!

Nice get, I think we had a thing against Metal lunchboxes for kids around here. All mine were plastic.

The simplicity and art of the 1979 version is far superior to the new one.

Gotta disagree with you on this one...I saw better pics of the new one back during toyfair. The artwork is incredible and definitely trumps the 1979 version IMO.

I hope we're seeing a new trend and there are more new lunchboxes coming.

[Hedji]

Me too. They really put some effort into it.

[HardyGirl]

Me too!

And those classic ones are pretty cool too!

^Yeah, I'm all over that lunchbox when it comes out.

I have to say, the new metal Universal Monster lunchbox looks very nice, but seems very busy on the front with all the monsters bunched in one. I would love to see the back of the lunchbox. The simplicity and art of the 1979 version is far superior to the new one.

Believe it or not, there's a new metal, fully painted and embossed Universal Monster lunchbox coming this year, complete with thermos that blows the original away. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this...apparently the back is a completely different image also, but hasn't been shown yet.
