More Sideshow Toys

Another beautiful piece from Sideshow Toys circa 1999.

The Universal Studios Monsters Mt. Rushmore miniature.

Highly detailed likenesses of Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy and Dracula all in a wonderful collectible.

Bobbleicious

I love bobbleheads…I know that they are silly but over the years I’ve come across some very cool horror/fantasy bobbleheads.

The first set is from Sideshow Toys made in 1999, a collection of Universal Studios Monsters and Herman and Grandpa Munster.

These are really beautiful pieces featuring wonderful detail and paint.

The second set is from a company called Adam’s Apple Creations and feature a variety of skulls and fantasy characters.

Again these are beautifully painted and sculpted…they may be silly but they are a great source of inspiration.

C.R.A.P. Files 005

Next in the bins of “Collectibles Retained and Packed” (C.R.A.P.) are those little hanging ghosts and skeletons you find everywhere during the month of October.

These guys can be found in K-mart, Dollar Stores, Walgreens and just about everywhere that sells Halloween merchandise, they come with elastic string so you can hang them…not sure where you hang them but they are ”hangable.”

Some are really cheap and awful and some are pretty well designed.

Not sure why I like these other than the fact that they are inexpensive and readily available.

Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween without cheap plastic C.R.A.P. hanging around.

Mediocre crap but I still like.

C .R.A.P. Files 004

Seeing it’s now cold outside I thought it would be a good time to resume rummaging through my many bins of “Collectibles Retained and Packed” or CRAP and see what I could find.

This first thing out of the bin was 16 McDonald’s Happy Meal toys called Stretch Screamers released October 3 through the 30^th in 2003.

According to an online source there were originally eight different monsters available although two were recalled.

The monsters featured mechanical sound, light, liquid or rotating movement. These were pretty cool for Happy Meal toys.

My personal favorite is the mummy which changed faces when the arm was pulled and the mad scientist sporting a squishy expanding brain.

This is good crap.
